Regarding the restriction on Liberty caps

[gafwmn]

Ok.I have read the following posts.I have listened to the arguments,both for and against.

NOW HERE THIS.(respectfully rips soapbox out from under Talon)

"What we have here, is failure to communicate."

Truer words were never spoken.From what I have observed in Liberty,it is astounding.
And remember...not every ship I pilot has Gafwmn in the name....so I see and hear more than people might think.
Now,I wil mention no names...there is no need for that.
I have see LN tagged players log in,see that New York is over-run with unlawfuls,and quickly log out and into their own unlawful char.And I can understand why.It sux being on the losing side in a fight.We all can agree on that.Thats where the Indies step up to the plate.They fill the gaps in the lawful coverage,come to the call of traders under attack by pirates,and generally try to keep the peace.
Problem is that they have few,if any,guide lines for what they need to do or rules to follow.Some are in-game, but not in the forums,so they have no idea about what is posted in there.

Thats were the responsibility of the more senior members of the LN(and by senior i mean players that have been here awhile),or Indies,such as myself,falls to help guide them in their RP,and what they should be doing.They pilot the big LABC because they are tired of getting ganged by a small fleet of pirates in bombers/fighters and gunboats,or the occasional OC Dessi that wanders into Liberty space, or the huge smuggler coming into new york from where-ever that just laughs at the poor pilot in a fighter that can't stop him,rp or no rp.

And on the other hand.....
Face it...the size and frequency of unlawful raids into New York.Think about it.The Navy would start blasting any rock bigger than a lunch-box to lessen the frequency of such raids.No more bases in Liberty for the pirates to operate from in the current size/scope that they enjoy now.

So..it comes down to this.I whole heartedly agree something needs to be done.BUT,remember,this is a cause and effect situation.You are dealing with the effect..............but what about the cause?

Something for all the faction leaders to ponder upon.

For what its worth....thats my 2 credits worth.

carefully dusts off Talon and props back up on box...............:cool:
