Ending the Capship Issue(and more)

[n00bl3t]

You really believe that don't you. I'm an option 2 kinda guy, I personally think that in order for this to work in anyway as it's intended, it would have to be pushed to it's logical conclusion, the forcing of -all- ships to have written RP and that's plainly absurd. I for one would cry out against that. Some folks just don't have the time to crank out page after page of RP. Besides as mwerte likes to say ingame RP > forum RP and he's so damned right.

But capship registration isn't a tool for the conquest of all indys, it's supposed to get folks to have a minimum RP for their capships, the same as is frankly expected of any ship. It's just it's easier to spot an OORP capship because they are so damned big and obvious.

Some people come off as a number three. As in the way they act, type, etc it makes people suspect that they really want to bomber-whore people and want the power over people. I think Akumabito's met too many of these people and this has significantly altered his perception of factions as a whole.

People keep saying that this is a powerplay/some other terrible thing... But I fail to see what power anyone is garnering for themselves by requesting that a fellow makes the time to document his ship of the line, their crew and their mission. Like Del says, no one's screaming for 10 pages of Hemmingway!

Admittedly I'm not a cap pilot myself, ironically for many of the same reasons that people are now requesting a registry of vessels. It was simply more of an RP investment than I had reason to make at the time. Throwing together a fictional crew, mission and so on seemed like a heck of a chore if I was lacking the inspiration to back it up.

However, it's for those same reasons that caps were originally nerfed: Because people abused them. The registration being proposed by the Corsairs, Outcasts and now Bretonia is a step in restoring the respectability of these vessels so that they may be restored to their former grandeur. n00bl3t and Akumabito both of you are coming off as determinedly obtuse in arguing that you needn't do a damn thing to carry on with their day, the iconic old man sitting on his porch with shotgun in hand, arguing that no one's gonna come onto your property to meter your water.

But then I suppose I don't understand the anti faction and more than borderline anti-community mindset that's recently become the vogue.

It is seen as a powerplay because your RP must be approved by the 101st. The 101st can simply deny an RP request. For whatever reason.

The old-kook-man-shotgun insinuation. Nice. And the old man living on the porch with the shotgun, would probably be living on a farm. Shotgun's in less rural areas don't go down that well. Farm=rainwater tanks by the way...so I'd be rather suspicious of a guy coming onto a property to meter the water. Unless rainfall is metered where you are...

I just wanted to repost this, as it seams to have gone unnoticed.

These posts furthered my argument so I left it alone.
