Could I just point out here that if someone comes to me asking for help about getting a ship registered with the 101st etc I will actualy help them acheive this. I only think restrictions are good if they are in place to promote better roleplay. The more people write stories the better.
I have alluded in my earlier post to the fact that cap ships are fairly useless. I think that if most caps were roleplayed then we could return to having awesome ships rather than these lame peices of useless crap.
So come on people, just help the factions get things back to how they should be. When all the ship owners in disco roleplay we will be happy.
This is not about stiffling any indies, nor is it about uniformaty within roleplay. Your story could be totally out of left field for us, but if it isn't treading on anyone elses roleplay shoes or messing with already established thigns in game we will accept it.
One of the reasons we want to register warships is because what navy wouldn't know how many ships it has? What army wouldn't know how many men it had in the field? The idea that any armed force wouldn't know how many capitol ships it had in its possession or had made is utterly absurd. So if you support better RP then register your ship.
Can everyone stop doing the "big bad factions took away my toys" whinge for one moment and look at the bigger picture here. Its not about you, its about the server... Ok?
