Akumabito, while I acknowledge the help you have rendered on a number of occasions, even with your cruiser (when it really was needed, the HG/NovaPG know of which battle i'm talking about), I have to disagree with you on this issue. I am for the registration of independent vessels with the official factions.
I have never had a problem with my Outcast Destroyer Drax ever, really. I registered it with the Outcast authorities a long time ago, anyway. But regardless of that, I have still never had any real issues with anyone regarding my flying it (besides the LSF occasionally moaning all those months ago but eh, we moaned about them too so fair's fair;)). Sure, i've been blown up, and i've blown people up, it happens. But i've had a laugh flying it, for the most part.
The point that is being made here is not to get rid of indie capital ship owners, but simply to have them roleplay. It doesn't even have to be that good. The respect is earned for *trying*, and that is all any of us can really do. If we try and give it our best shot, and stick within the rules, you'll have fun and I seriously doubt you will get anyone slagging you off for having your warship.
But bear in mind, roleplaying with a capital ship means adhering to some authority somewhere. Hell, you could always try being a rogue capital ship commander who is hated by everyone and can only dock at Freeports or something. But so long as you actually roleplay that, and *don't* dock at anyone else's bases if they tell you not to, then it's all good. If they are the official Outcast player faction, they have every right to deny you docking rights at Malta, for instance.
