A Rule Ammendment - a poll with a point :)

[ScornStar]

I voted yes.

I care nothing for the "You don't need anything bigger than a Bomber to pirate." arguement.

You dont need anything more than two bombers to kill; ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING, on this server.

The other thing just because a Gunboat is sufficient for a trade vessel, doesn't mean its sufficient for the criuser escort that comes with it.

If anything smart pirates would show up with overwhelming force and absolutely no sportsmanship. Applying intimadation with both guns and words.

If anything a trader is better able to escape a Criuser than a bomber under any curcumstance other than, jumping into a system right on top of one.

1 a trade ship moves just as fast as a gunboat and up.

2 Criusers being bigger in size but nothing to speak of in mass are m ore likely to get "messed up" persueing a Train into a asteriod field, than a bomber who can thrust faster and move through a asteriod field easier.

3 Capital ship thrust is same speed as traders, meaning you CANNOT catch up in if both pilots are equal, with out breaking a reengagement rule.

4 Caps cannot kill any trade vessel as fast as two bombers. In addition to caps being a bigger target.

5 In some cases trade vessels are able to down gunboats. For example the miner vs a gunboat. 10 lvl 4 turrets do more damage then 6-8 order gunboat turrets. The trade vessels are also able to regen 3-5 times which is at least 1 or 2 more times than a capital ship.

6 Capital ships have more room for cargo and prisoners as opposed to bomber. What can they do other then the "server form of piracy" were they take only a little bit of credits. Takeing tankers to be on stand by is just haveing a capital ship with less guns and armor on standby burning the same amount of fuel.

In fact it seems more in Rp to not allow strike craft(bombers/fighter) to pirate out of sensor range of a planet, trade lane, station, or capital ship near by to launch them. Fighters werent designed for long hauls. Thats way there is minimul to no lifesupport systems with in fighter craft and the pilots wear flight suits.
It not just so they can sport thier gang colors.

Buff caps or remove the nerfs. As for the double standard. I think the tendency to place every faction on this server in either the "lawful" or "unlawful" box. Is very limiting and more harmful to everyones RP.
Nothing is black and white. Lawful is realative. In Corsair space the Corsairs are lawful. Lawful of thier own laws. While the RM would be considered unlawful. The reverse is true as well.

Law is realtive. If I have a AR-15 semi automatic I am still a lawful citizen but how many countries would I be prosecuted with extreme prejudice.

I understand Xorias ruleing on that but, I think checking back on presence. The "lawfuls" or maybe we should call them "locals" are allowed to blast offensive trade vessels to smitherines in the best interest of thier planets.

Anyway, done ranting. Sleepy. Yes free caps from the ooRP bindings and let the fighter eliteist go the take the back seat to practical thinking.

Practical thinking = real life. (most times)
