' Wrote:I would say putting capships on guard bases would work, but then the factions will just lay claim to the bases that sell em. At this point, my opinion is that battleships should be removed from all bases and be community granted, or open to ANYONE with a decent rp and story, period.
Meaning it wont matter wether your in a faction or an indy, owning a battleship requires a story approved by the rest of the community and the admins, including the indys.
Its the only way this will ever be solved with both sides being happy.
I'm going to respond to this bit, becasue here you're in sync with what most folks are trying to say here and failing a little. Decent RP and story will get you most of the ships you want, it'll buy you an OC Battleship, you'll get a Kusari battleship and even a Bretonian one. That's not and never has been an issue. The issue is with the indies who don't ahve an RP for their battleships or any cap ships. I'll be honest I need to write up the RP for all my capships for the Rogues. Niezck is working on both the Graviton on Neutron stories and I need to get my arse in gear for the Gunboat Diplomat and whatever my BS will be called when I buy it. But the RP for the BS will come before the BS is bought in line with Eppy's regualtions concerning Outcast battleships. Both the LR's capital vessels are registered with the 101st and their role defined. All our gunboats will be defined. We will follow all rules laid down in order to do this. We will not be docking our gunboats or anything alrger at Buffalo we will be setting an example. If the RP is there there isn't a problem and no-one is suggesting there is. Nobody is saying you cannot fly these ships, they are simply asking you why you are flying these ships. Which as the factions who are in charge of these things they ahve every right to do.
