Government Roleplay And Transport Rework Feedback

[Prysin]

It's hard to make definitive statements on this transitional period, when governments are understandably confused as to how to handle these admittedly far more capable ships.
Once transports in general upgrade to similar level, obviously you can't have blanket restrictions on the class, but at least in theory, it's not crazy for now to expect people to fill out a simple form, which would then presumably be granted.

The issue is with the actual granting of licenses, something the staff supervised government chats were supposed to keep an eye on. I mean just look at something like the Rheinland Extraordinary Equipment Registry, a system in which restricted equipment is de facto banned in all but name, with an endless string of "denied" even for friendly entities like Bounty Hunters asking for the most modest of things.

Licenses are generally speaking supposed to be a little RP formality for friendlies asking for reasonable things. If government players approach them not from "they should be allowed to have this if they ask for it" but "why should they have this?" perspective, they're going to be a problem.

Laws are there for a reason. Exemptions should never be granted "because i would like one". It doesnt work that way iRL, it doesnt work that way logically, and it shouldnt work that way in disco.

We are ROLEPLAYING, meaning here, we shall act as if we were doing this as a iRL job. Otherwise whats the point. Just toss the roleplay out and do what you want. Engage silently. Shoot whomever. Just play how you want. But i know you yourself would bemoan such a situation more then anyone, because you know what a mess it would turn into.

As for the transports themselves, perhaps some further transparency and patch notes in the intention of transports going forward would make people less inclined to restrict them right away. But god forbid transparency.
