The Dreadnought Dilemma - the ideal role of heavy caps in disco

[Denelo]

I mean, I am actively trying to encourage the rebuilding of the Libertonian indie cap spam. For cap pilots, they're a big power fantasy, and help mitigate some of the issues newbies often have of feeling useless in a snub engagement. For snub pilots, they serve as a "raid boss"-type enemy. Not having regular cap enemies is part of what has Liberty in its current sad state, and even as one of the leaders of the only faction (to my albeit limited knowledge) that still restricts cap ownership to high ranks only, I don't think exacerbating that issue is a good idea. I get the concern, cap spam has always been a controversial topic, but looking at things now vs 13 years ago, I see how important they were.

At the same time, I think it's silly that everyone and their mother has cruisers now, but oh well. Cat seems to be out of the bag. I can't really speak outside of Liberty anyways.
