Corsair Capital Ship Discussion, a new directive perhaps

[AceofSpades]

First off, please do not post here to support sides or do anything except /sign, only posts here should be ideas and thoughts on editing, not "I hate caps kill 'em all off" or "omg you can't do this"

Unfortunately, for awhile now, the (ab)use of Corsair Caps is out of hand. While an excess number of toolbox gunboats is somewhat acceptable, as gunboats are generally accepted as more of a "general usage ship" much like bombers. Cruisers and Battleships, namely the Praefect, is not to be used in excess! It's ridiculous how many capital ships are either

1. Sitting outside Crete 24/7
2. Doing repeated raids into Alpha, a bunch of Gunboats and Praefects, not a bomber around, killing people one at a time as they come in/undock
3. Simply wandering around Sirius into places they shouldn't be (Texas?!)

Any ship above a gunboat, in my opinion, is supposed to be used in our Core systems. Gamma, Omega 41, and at times Theta, Omega 5, and Kappa. Offensives with such ships should be more carefully laid out then "omg letz rape Alpha", and should have maybe one or two cruisers at most.

Lastly, the ridiculous number of caps is, at times, accentuated by a lack of respect for factionalization. Granted, you may fly a Corsair Cruiser. But if so, you are accepting to its terms of use. You follow the directions of The Brotherhood, the Elders, and OPG.... or in RP we don't sell you the ship.

I think many would agree that there at least needs to be some change, thus I propose my basic idea, and leave it here for the Elders, [+], and [OPG] to make amends to. Granted everyone has a say, but obviously this work should be mostly the discussion and amends of the Corsairs, please limit excessive commenting here


The Corsair Capital Ship Directive (Proposal)

Section 1: Application

Shipname
Intended Use (Backstory?)
ZOI

Ships caught operating outside their ZOI would be deemed rogue and would in the very least be verbally reprimanded, and hopefully a commitment to a ZOI would help restrict trigger-happy tricks across Sirius

Section 2: Implementation

There should be some type of incentive to take care of application (besides getting blasted), thus I'd be willing to offer up my part at least. A ten million credit offer for any caps who are willing register (and are approved of course). Which I will be willing to fund, even if nobody will help me fund it:P
Also, I would suggest that approved caps have some type of designation, such as possibly <C>, so that it is easy to designate approved ships. Anyone caught falsifying this tag would be killed for treason immediately


Section 3: Dealing With Problem Types

Obviously there are many who either 1. Don't care about RP and being "allowed", or 2. Don't ever glance the forums
Thusly I'd propose anyone who is not on this list, but when confronted is not extremely non-compliant, be granted a day's grace and directed to the forums.
However, anyone who simply continues to be ignorant, or openly defies Corsair Directive, should be deemed treasonous and set to KoS. Killable by any loyal Corsairs, registered Independents, and Factionalized Corsairs (and possibly mercs?)

This is similar to what the LN did, and New York has been noticeably impacted. I do believe such a mandate here would do the same, make it RP of course, don't just post another "Registration List" but make an RP statement.

Comment away, I realize I hold little sway here, but I think this is important.
