suggestions to stop the pvp and capwhoring

[RonG777]

ahh - firstly... why are we discussing the same thing over and over - again?

secondly...

when i check the serverlist - i hardly ever see too many battleships. - yesterday evening - there were an average of around 3 - 5 battleships out of 100 - 140 players there. ( 1 adv. battlestar, 2 BHG battleships and 2 others i cannot remember ) - there were quite some cruisers there, yes ( and a few BC - 4 BHG battlecruiser, 1 in kappa, 1 in o-49, 1 in o-15 and one in new berlin, all non factionized - 1 HF liberty battlecruiser and another one somewhere ).. by far the most destroyers ( out of the capships ) - most of them outcast destroyers - and the second most used ship was the corsair gunboat.

yesterday i was thinking of making regular screenshots of the serverlist each day - to show that its much ado about nothing whenever such a thread pops up. - most of the time, we do not have too many capital ships up. - half the server was fighter, another huge part of the server was transports. - only like 30% were gunboats or heavier. - thats not a bad ratio.

of course this changes from daytimes to daytimes.

thirdly...

playerfaction is no roleplay approval. it is just a bunch of players with a tag and an "ambition" to take the roleplay to another level - or at least the leaders have tha ambition. - *usually* that means that the playerfactions have a more - lets say... consistent roleplay, but sometimes, there is hardly a difference between a faction member and a so called "independent" ( stupid term, as someone who joined a NPC faction is not independent, - he is bound to a faction, but not in a playerfaction, thats all ) - often only when in a group with others of the playerfaction, the playerfaction players really differ from lone npc faction members much.

or in short, - they have no authorities over others - other than what their roleplay suggests. and the idea of a police of approval has been shot down.

currently i wonder why you come up with such hardcore demands to limit the players freedom more. - are you experiencing bad roleplay? is that bad roleplay directly linked to warships? or are you getting acceptable roleplay by playerfactions, while you only get disappointing roleplay from non playerfactionized players?

i m really at a loss, the RP i experienced lately around o-delta ( one of the systems with a lot of capital ships ) was mostly OK. - ppl acted mostly according to the position they represent.

You know, I was going to sit here and read this entire thread.. But after I read Jinx's post, there is nothing more to be said. **You hit the nail right on the head Jinx**
