' Wrote:Here's a suggestion for capships ... why don't we say that capships are specifically limited to those ACTUALLY members of a legitimate player faction. For example ... in order to fly a Liberty Battle Cruiser ... you actually gotta be a member of LN. Maybe we can reduce the size of these non-role playing indies who don't quite understand that LN is actually in charge. Yes ... when LN tells you indies to stand down and stop shooting at someone ... you're actually supposed to stand down and stop shooting.
More role play and less blood lust.
EDIT: This is not specific to Liberty ... just using them as an example. You can substitute Order, Corsair, Rheinland, etc here and the point would be the same.
Thats been talked about and dropped like a stone and sunk a bunch of times before - and its personally something i'd never like to see. The only people who really got away with it were the RM - and even they allow exceptions if the person has half a go at Role Playing and working with them.
Blood lust in a cap is just silly - you are a large visible target, you die, and its not that hard to die in one... if you're in a lone fighter then sure you don't have much chance against one but thats just how it is... deal with it, in RP. Get a couple of bombers together and you will send most caps hurtling into the atmosphere in a pretty short time. Role Play in your caps people, send vast amounts of dialogue into the chats from the comfort of your battleship captains chair.
