What a joke, not only was the destruction of Roppongi overlooked by the IC faithful, but now you want to mess around with core lore and mechanics of IC players who do not interfere with your more 'exotic' protagonists. What's the harm of various IC traders flying around the mainly vanilla worlds, occasionally pirated by your more sophisticated metagamers who've been running the same script for decades? That's rhetorical, despite the question mark.
"Ok look three senior metagamers are pirating an IC Stork and pretending that it's an original RP script" - F off, you're a cabal clique who should know better and we're sick and tired of your self-righteous and self-serving rhetoric.
Why don't you tweak the nips of your own factions rather than interfere with decades worth of RP lore and game play by various Interspace players who have gone along with your pretense of piracy in the name of 'balance'?
Just reverse this crappola. Seriously, why don't you tweak your own bs factions that have been invented to satisfy the various loudmouths that browbeat the small cadre of "game owners"? Like...
...what's with the defense platforms within 2km of the Galileo tradelanes, Spacetech? Is that preferential meta gaming? Sanctioned by the powers that be? I'm a lawful player so that doesn't bother me, but shouldn't we look after all our players? I was hearing the unlawful factions recently crying persecution and the main north-south route between Liberty and Kusari is somehow invisible in Galileo? Gimmeabreak. I have a screen shot from April, so if it was only an "event" or some type of game story line, how about we fix that now, or is that just another insider breaking the rules and trying to subvert the structure by which all other are compelled to play within?
Leave IC alone, reverse these stupid changes and go back to fiddling with your outerworld tweakers who need constant encouragement that their "life and death" gameplay is important and valuable.
You let minority interests press their game play in Kusari and now it's a wasteland. Step away from interfering with core factions.
Thanks for not consulting the community and just badly implementing these changes. It's not creative, it's selfish and egocentric. In case you were pretending that players don't mind, they do. Now run along you little bastards, fix this. And if you don't like "bastards" - remove that word from all the ships that have that word in their name, if it's good for them, it's good for me, alright you little bastards?
I think you know how we feel. Or maybe it needs to be clearer?
