Faction Control of Capital Ships... or...

[Caedes]

I chose "Other", here's my reason;

Let's face it, the people who have very good RP are the minority in Discovery as well as the fact that most of the good RPers are much less noticeable than the New Yorkers who fly around in Liberty Carriers chasing down players in fighters and "lolwutting" every few minutes.

That being said, I think it's a good idea for player factions to control the amount of capital ships in "their" entire faction, to stop every power hungry, no RPing independant from getting a big ship and annoying the hell out of everyone. The majority of player factions have very good RP, both from the faction itself and the members, so I trust them to regulate the capital ships of their faction.

But, if an independant does have good RP and does respect the rules of the server and faction, they should be allowed to get a capital ship, if they want.

Hmmm...

As there have been a lot of problems with capital ships lately, I think the rules of capital ships should be drastically changed. I think capital ships should be EXTREMELY rare in a faction, I know there are quite a few NPC battleships but they're all guarding specific areas, not flying around on combat operations. I mean, it's the equivalent of a rich businessman buying an aircraft carrier, just because they can afford one, doesn't mean they have any right to have one. If it was up to me, capital ships would only be allowed for events where there are a lot of players to even it out, such as a special RP event or defence against a hostile raid.

It's like watching a bunch of children fight over a toy, instead of awarding it to one, just take it away and stop the fight.
