First off, I would point out that there are three official corsair faction, The Brotherhood, the OPG and THE BENITEZ.
Second, I would ask you to leave this to the corsairs to handle, which to be fair, we have done a good job of without creating the faction/indy bickering that has taken place in other places where cap restrictions are in place. The goal of our cap ship policy is not to decide who can and cannot fly caps, it is to try and impress on those who do that rp to go along with it, as well as general restrictions on where it can go. We do not force indies to follow the orders of factional players, with the exception of Elders, who are leaders of the Corsair community in general, as well as leading their factions. Having been on this server for probably almost 2 years now, I can tell you this situation ebbs and flows over time, sometimes it is worse sometimes it is better. A lot of it has to do with what is going on is related to what happens with cap ship policies and the friction between factional and independent players in other parts of Sirius.
I will say this, the Corsairs have a good system in place that is not too restrictive while impressing on cap pilots the importance of the RP that goes along with flying a Cap. It is not the job of factions to decide who can and cannot have a cap, it is to serve as a role model of the importance of RP, and then if something is way over the line, trying to work with the player to conform to server etiquette.
That being said, all this proposal seems to do is ensure that corsair faction players will spend all their time confronting cap ships that aren't registered, and thats not fair to us. There are Cap issues all over Sirius, the Corsairs are not alone, and we do work very hard to deal with issues that come up, and we do a good job of it. As you said, you have little say here, as far as I know, you dont have a factional corsair character, nor an indy, the closest I have seen is a Tiidan with an Inferno that you said replaced del cids. Please why not let us deal with this as we see fit, which we have done up till now, and done well. I dont want to spend all my time blowing up Corsair caps.
This is a game folks, and it should be fun, some people have fun flying caps, and as long as they do it within the norms of server etiquette I could care less. Do I deal with it when people cross the line? Yes, I had to dress down about 6 Sair cap ships the other day, we do it when it's necessary, but suggesting all these policies will just make the factions the police of the NPC faction in general, and instead of getting to play the game, they will have to spend all their time policing these policies.
All threads like this do is stir up trouble. Please let the appropriate people deal with this instead of trying to suggest policies for factions you have nothing to do with.
