Regarding the restriction on Liberty caps

[Jihadjoe]

I'm sorry i do not have time to go through the 17 pages of this thread, but from the first post i think your right.

I recently made an LNS character, rather new (LNS-Oregon, Liberty Cruiser) and i am now considering changing it to a Rhienland cruiser.

I think the reason that so many people choose Liberty is because that is where the most action is. There are always pirate attacks on New York like everyday, it's quite oorp for attacks of that scale everyday (dreadnaughts and batleships), but now i'm gona go and buy a Rhienland cruiser i think, i wanted one in the first place.

If you want to be added to the roster of approved ships then thats fine, as I know you'd behave responsibly, and not go after some poor sod alone in a greyhound.
Send me the RP, again I say, no need for a masterpeice, and unless it's utterly stupid (like being crewed entirely by hyper-intelligent goldfish) then it will get approved. You will be placed on a week long trial period to see if you use it repsonsibly, not to pvp-whore unlawfuls out of their ships then you will be placed on the roster of approved ships. Getting there is easy

Akumabito, I did have a feeling you'd jump on this one rather quickly and I'm surprised you're so late.

I'm going to take some time to explain it. I want to see liberty indy caps flying around. I also want to see people in those ships respecting other people's gameplay, which is something liberty has had a huge problem with, trust me I know.

This cap restriction isn't in place to 'beat down on indies' or firther my own power in any way. Infact it is to make liberty operable for the unlawful players, who, as things stood were losing members as a result of getting cap-spoammed every time they moved. I was getting PM's for weeks from epople regarding this asking me to riegn in on the issue, which is what I have done.

Now I say again, I am not interesting in gaining power infact I loathe having control over other people, however when I have it I have to use it for the greater good. I didn't want to take this step but frankly the issue with the epic cap-spam in liberty ghad gone too far.

I have already resolved various issues, especialy with Kearsarge Matt and LNS-Prodigy regarding it, and those people, who were violently opposed to the restrictions are extremely likely to be added to the approved list, they are already on the trial period.

Akuma, if you want a liberty cap ship, then by all means send me the RP for it, the same standards of behaviour will apply to you as everyone else. I don't want to act as the RP police here, and tus unless something is completely out of cannon it -will- be accepted, provided the player can use the ship in a way that doesn't piss on other people's fun.

Thank you for reading my intentions in my other posts so carefully, and interpreting the reasons behind it so very clearly. Your deep and genuine insight is truely appreciated.
