Dumb stuff harms the game

[Sniper]

Gold particular was not a game feature like Sniper claims it was. It made roleplaying a Molly even more pointless as the only thing that attracts people to Dublin, their primary system, has an instadock fallback point that anyone can run to. Their entire purpose is spiting BMM and protecting the gold that they lay claim to after the Graves incident.

Clew Bay was even closer and did the exact same thing. Mollys were already deader than hell because of how much they got kicked around by Durandal for opposing Bretonia.


So what are you hoping to accomplish with this 16 some pages of toxic argument that's dividing the community further than it already is. If it really is ooRP hatred like some people say it is, then even if Darkwind's abhorrently stupid rules pitch goes through, they'll just swap and log a bunch of lawfuls to siege the bases instead.

You make some good points Hemlocke, worthy to discuss.

I agree that the Molly's and other factions that cannot have anything bigger than a destroyer are seriously disadvantaged. And the are ignored, relegated to greater insignificance by development changes etc. However, I have successfully mined with Molly ID'd ships. I have one ready to launch right now... into the dead of space... 100+km from Arranmore base as it was docked on Goldgeist. I had great RP and yes, I got shot a lot too. However, why mine when you can pillage? Made a small fortune raiding the gold field as the ore sat ready to collect. Granted it is still a challenge playing Molly faction.

This thread has hit a nerve with the community. To clock up 23 pages of discussion, most of which is contrary arguments etc with some negative toxicity shows the depth of feeling.

St Denis' post hits the nail on the head. For the full read, it is on Page 16.

"Those Players that lose a POB, that they have vested months/years of time in, don't get it back. They lose all that time and effort and anything that was stored on that Base. So, maybe you can, possibly, understand how angry they feel."
