"pointed in the right direction by a faction, INGAME"
First impressions and good in-game rp are made in-game, not on the forums, if factions want to curb oorp capships, the best way is to catch those people BEFORE they buy the ship, and that means taking the time to talk and get to know what thier plans/desires are, ingame. Which means ya gotta be there, in the game, not just on the forums. NO, most indys dont want to be controlled like that, but they dont necesarily wanna be ignored either.
My guess is that most of the "oorp capships" are bought before the person has any inkling of what is going on or what they are doing, they simply have traded thier way to enough money and want to fly a "big ship" since that is one of the coolest things about this mod. Hence why i said factions need to "help steer" thier rp rather than make them hostile, at the very least the factions would have a good idea of what a person is about to do, or what kind of attitude they have ingame. But ya gotta be there, and ya gotta accually talk to them and show intrest and ask questions to find these things out.
The capships that are bought specifically for PVP are most likely done without a care for faction or server politics anyways so getting them on the forums wont really matter to those people. To me those are the ones causing the most of the problems and no amount of bickering between eachother on the forums will ever change that since they dont care about the forums, faction rules, or anything else, but pvp.
Just how i see it from my point of view. Yes im indy, Yes i care about the server and the community. If i didnt, i wouldnt be sitting here typing this up, or on the forums at all for that matter.
It's the ones that DON'T care about factions, indys, or rules, those are the people who are causing the problems. Otherwise known as "troublemakers", they are here with the sole intent of disrupting the fun of other people, thats how they get thier enjoyment. Sadly, the only way to stop uncaring idiots like that is to ban them, once they are found.

From what i gathered by comments made by some faction members, they outnumber indys anyways, so no, it shouldnt be a prob if faction members outnumber indys by so much that they...
Quote:"have every right to pound on you for it, because there are more of us, and so long as we follow server rules, we win." - "we're bigger, and we're more organized" - "The forum goers and faction leaders have lots of friends, and lots of influence"
So going by those statements and if most factions feel that way, then yes, by all means factions should be able to handle every case.
Edit: The way i see it, the indys job to police the factions, the factions job to police the indys, and both need to work together to add some bleach to the servers genepool to get rid of the scum that dont care about anything.
