Ending the Capship Issue(and more)

[n00bl3t]

To do that you need coordination and organization. Do you know what I call that?

A faction.

:P

Ever heard of guerilla warfare? Perhaps individual cells? Stand-alone complex? Conventional military tactics will not stand up. (The tactics that the military organization of the 101st are using.):)

Independent players can walk about, but the thing is, if they choose to RP as a member of a faction where there is a player based faction for, they really ought to have a better reason than the fact that they want a capship. Why? Because capships are usually restricted, as an enticement, for advancement in PBFs. If an indie joined a PBF with hopes of a cruiser, his/her dreams would be shattered, due to the fact that it would take (OH NO!) time to receive that battleship. Thus, the indie goes off, gets a capship, and RPs as the big admiral that he was too lazy to become through the faction process.

Takes enough time with trading. That's why it's so expensive. No need for the faction process.

Factions disrespect indies that march around and try to act like faction leaders. Factions disrespect indies that are indies for the sole reason of getting a capship and skipping the whole rank-advancement process. Factions disrespect indies that have no idea of what ZoI is, and create massive amounts of trouble and discord in their ZoI.

I will quote all you have written in context. I am utterly terrible at finding threads so I ask for enlightenment from one so knowledgeable as yourself. Where in the rules does it say I have to go through a rank-advancement process to access all equipment and features of the Discovery mod?

Finally, regarding your ranting about how most of the people on the server have no problems with indie capships. Allow me to enlighten you.

If you're not registered to vote, you can still have an opinion. But do your opinions get to affect the actual decisions? No.

These people that you talk about...The unregistered. They choose NOT to participate in our community via the forums. They choose to not care about the events that go on day to day, the very decisions that will affect them. They aren't on the forums, they don't participate, and frankly, when it comes to making decisions, they don't COUNT.

Trust me, we value them as players in the game, and they aren't treated any differently when it comes to the rules. The reason why they don't get counted in votes, tallys, debates, and discussions is all due to themselves. They refuse to participate on the forums, they pay for it. People have been asking them to get on the forums for ages. They aren't budging. Not our fault.

The MAJORITY, the voting majority, disagrees with you.

When it comes to making decisions about the server a significant proportion of the server does not count. How very true. These arguments, these restrictions, the sarcastic wit of the veteran forum members...why would they come?

I'd like to enlarge the fine print on your last statement. "The voting majority".

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.
