' Wrote:of course gunboats are capital ships - i never understand why ppl leave them out. they are classified capital ships in ID cards and game lore. - totally lost why ppl like to "keep them easy to get" when at the same time they want to lock destroyers out.
anyway - the whole discussion is totally pointless - sort of. since its already been said officially, - that no official restriction or administration will come into effect about getting any kind of capital ship - other than a high price and a limitation of one battleship / player.
but i guess discussing it will keep the brain warmed up and ready for really important discussions.
I agree with you whole heartedly. The comment regarding gunboats was, primarily, a gentle lulz in the direction of those persons who vehemently support restricting the vessels that their fellows may fly just so long as no one touches theirs.
As to what this will accomplish, again you're right on the mark.
