Eppy, the roleplay you deem worthy of getting a battleship should be reward enough for your crusade should it not? I agree with your ideals, but this is not the way to go. It'll only create resentment and anger, and neither of those things are good for the quiet life of Joe.
I do -not- support you charging people to register ships, that isn't on, and it screams of profiteering to me. You are in a position of power, which for the most part you deal with properly, please do not abuse it. This measure of getting people to pay de-bases your position on this, which is sad as you have a good point with limiting capships.
I -do- support there being some method of holding independant capship owners accountable, however getting people to pay you for them is not the way to go, it'll only make you very unpopular.
Eppy please re-think this, just regard the decent roleplay it will encourage as reward enough rather than trying to cut down on the hours you have to trade for.
