Proposal for Discovery

[Badger]

If that happened the AW (although probaly the biggest faction already) would probaly be untouchable even if all others tryed to take it on together

How is that any different to how it is now? AW is totally overloaded already in comparison to everybody else so if they wanted to they could pretty much control the server by numbers. This way they will at least be doing it with a nicely balanced mixed fleet rather than all in capships.

Once Battleships get their upgrade, hopefully they will still be a little vulnerable to 3 or 4 fighters and 3 or 4 players shouldn't be a problem for any faction to get online, in order to tackle a rogue freelancer BS. I shall repeat that the numbers I put forward are purely speculative, so any amount of balancing could be done to find a good blend of ship types online. As for AW getting enough people online to swamp the server with Battleships? They're a big clan there's no doubting that, but Caribe's initial proposal would limit even them to 2 or 3 Battleships at most.

how to do that and not drive away new players?

As I posted above, for the sake of RP on this server, this proposal should be done by player choice. Factions could easily stick to these guidelines and still keep dominance over freelancers, while new players can do whatever they like without fear of persecution. While it may seem tempting to go out and get a BS for yourself as a solo player, it would be a whole lot more powerful if you had an entire faction fleet behind you.

I said already, it's not doable

i doubt that it would be workable

It's simply a guideline for the ship classes faction members use online. If your faction members can't stick to those guidelines, what hope have they of sticking to your own faction rules? What hope have they of roleplaying at all? You all agree this is a good idea, so why approach it so negatively?
