I love my capships and i take them with me whereever i go.
Generally, thats not too far from my ZOI - but i reserve the right to take them out of my ZOI because... well, a group of us might want to hurt someone.
Cap ships are one gigantic Role Play platform and should be used that way.... If you cant Role play in a cap ship, you arent trying.
So if you want to take it out for a stroll outside of your ZOI... try to AT LEAST have some kind of Role play in mind beyond "U are Outcast enemy i kill u".
Not that that little piece of Rp doesnt betray the presence of an extremely creative mind *sarcasm*
So think about it - why are you going there? for what purpose? would you character actually do that? would they risk their ship and crew on a hairbrained foray into enemy space to "pew pew" a few fighters? Would they do it alone and unescorted (where caps are at their most vulnerable).
