Ending the Capship Issue(and more)

[n00bl3t]

Registered where? on the forums? we ask them to register their craft - write an RP background to it, that for itself is forcing them to RP.

As for the attack on faction leaders, what makes you think it's just a power struggle of faction leaders?
I can speak for at least 5 factions I'm in with more than 14 players in each, all are against the Capwhoring and all are for the cap ship registration, and to be honest, the faction leaders are the one taking the things faction members wanna do a notch down. So instead of attacking the faction leaders for being just a small bunch that have a problem with cap whoring, be glad they are between you and the factions, as if they weren't you would probably been KoS right away.

We, the "So evil and power mongering" Faction Leaders, each represent a smaller community withing the server, gathered together we represent the community itself.

Who do you represent? And what makes you think that most ppl on the server are not in a faction?
"You need to think about the whole community and not just yourselves for a change."
I think it should go the other way around, as you seem to be all for yourself on none for the community.

BTW, just a thought, what if you registered and wrote a background story, than another indie cap ship player would read it, get an idea and join you in your RP, and so on and so on, then all of you will be entangled with the RP of the faction as will the faction be part of your RP, thus creating a better RP experience for all of us? mm.. just a thought...

Edited: And here is another thought, what if someone that doesn't know how to RP a BS will read your story, he might get ideas, write a story of his own, create new RP for himself, start RPing on the server..
is it so far fetched?
And if by doing so we get even 1 or 2 indie capships ships to RP insted of being a PvP cap whores who shout "noob" and "lol" and "pwnt" in system chat and that is the most comunication you get from them if any, than it was all worth it..

I have a background story. Why should I register? I hope that the new players do read my story and become inspired.

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.

I RP. All I'm saying is that I shouldn't have to register.

Edit: Double-post accident. Apologies.
