' Wrote:The facts are that capital ships in real life are used to project power, and they should be used to project power in FL. During war and sometimes just for "saber rattling" ships from one nation do enter the territories of ships from another nation.
As far as escorts, not everyone on the server can get escorts all the time, and that shouldn't be a limit to anyone enjoying the server. One player should be able to take his single ship anywhere RP allows, be it an LF or a BS.
But the game mechanics favour small ship combat. Take the x series where automated turrets fire at several targets at once. FL doesn't work that way. Caps will always be somewhat at a disadvantage.
