This is from someone new to the game. I started playing to have fun with my husband. I was told it was a roleplay server. Awesome, lets play. This new rule is going to have people like me quitting the game because we wouldn't be having fun. If you want this sever to go the way I seem to think you do, this wont help. It will turn into a purely PVP server.
Here is my two cents worth. 1) I LOVE to roleplay and this isnt. 2) I cant fly well in a 3D environment. 3) I cant PVP at ALL well. Real problems targeting. 4) This would give me a very limited selection of ships I could fly that would fit the roleplay reason I am playing - a roving restaurant.
Come on, guys, don't make this hard for newcomers or roleplayers who only want some fun interaction. I dont mind pirates, don't get me wrong. In fact the interactions can be fun, just don't come at me and blow me up without giving me a chance to hand you something, money or even a meal. RP pirate? Sure. Kamikaze just aim and shoot, no thanks.
