Ending the Capship Issue(and more)

[Jihadjoe]

I'm sorry. Where did you get this 90% figure from?

As an Outcast I can say that a very very high percentage of outcasts regard the Outcast factions as the law in Outcast space and that they have a form of governance over the other Outcasts.

In fact this policy has damaged beyond repair my QCO rp, and left a BS and two fighter in the position of protecting Bretonia despite the queen rather than for the queen.

Ok... So, can we see you RP for your ship (whatever it may well be). I would be interested in reading it. I want to know how having an outcast capitol ship affects the QCO...

Anyway, factions are there to control factions. They are not there to bully indies who could give a rats behind about the faction.

I personally find this rather tellin. You personally couldn't give a rats arse about a group of people who are trying to play the game, and you want to be able to just do what you want when you want. That kinda stinks of self importance and a lack of respect for the other individuals behind the factions. You, with this statement, have shown youself willing to step on a whole group of other people's roleplay for your own roleplay gain.... Not cool Akumabito, not cool at all.


Do you fly fighters Akumabito? 'Cos if so, have you ever been in the position where you have been ganked by capships who then say "We won!" afterwards as if its some kind of achievement. I have experienced this at the hands of Outcast capships before we started registering them in the New York system. I have had a lvl 5 starflier of mine blown up by one. I have, as I've said before, been blown up in my rather well known (amoungst the outcasts at any rate) cardi smuggler while sitting outside malta by an outcast battleship that was before we started registering... Infact that was one of the things that prompted this measure.

Just try standing in the Outcast faction's shoes for a while here dude, and you might see things from a different perpective.

May I also point out that Mr Epyon here is a notorious capwhore. So its not an anti cap ships thing. Nor is it an anti indies thing. It is, *said with frustration at not being listened to* a anti oorp thing. Nor is it( for me at least) about pushing indies about. I was an indy Outcast once, and I have numerous independant charas. and each of those accepts that the player faction has authoriy over my character. For instance when I was flying my indy Xeno I took orders from the Sons of Liberty and the XA, simply becuase they were better organised.

Akumabito, this is the crux of the matter. Your own personal will is not more important than anyone elses. Infact a group of people have precedence over any individual's will. Very simple concept. Please just live with that and stop trying to stamp your ego all over everything you do and subjugate whole groups of people to your own wish to have it your own way. Thats not a nice thing to do in any circle and I'm sure in real life you wouldn't... Its very easy to Just see names on a forum and characters in game and forget that there are people behind them... Have some respect, as through that you will earn the respect of others yourself. That is as true for life as it is here. Learn humility, it has served me just fine.

EDIT: @ n00blet. The reason we require all people to register their capships (aside form the precedent and fairness) is because, as I have said earlier, what armed force wouldn't know how many aeroplanes, tanks or warships it had?

The Maltese Navy is not privately owned. It is organised rather than being a rabble... We are just trying to get organised with knowing what we have and where.
