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

[Reverend Del]

Eppy, you are one of the few people I know that does not see Xoria's reasonable posts and take them as such. Cap-ship registration is all inclusive yes, but it says "If you refuse to register, we'll kill you" It's a very negative mind-set. In fact it is about the single worst example to set a new player. "My way or the highway" is not a mindset I like, nor should the rest of you. This is a game, and as everyone agrees we're all here to have fun. Being forced to come to the forums and do something is not fun. Whilst the forums are an impressive resource for the game, they are NOT essential for the game. In fact some of the finest server players spend not a lot of time here.

The only group of people that should be dictating how this game is played is the team you helped select, the Admins, and the only way we want to dictate is according to the rules of this server. Restricting purchase of ships is contrary to the spirit of inclusiveness that this mod is supposed to have. Incidentally this spirit of inclusiveness should NOT be levelled at just those that post here on these forums, but at everyone who plays on this server.

Now I understand the need to reduce capship abuse, even today I had a cruiser open fire on me simply because I called him a fool for parking in front of a tradelane, I have had my solitary Hyena chased by a BC, I have been ganked by nothing but cap-ships in my Xeno, I have seen it, I know it exists and I know it's rough on those that experience it. But I do not believe every capship owner is guilty of this unless proven not to be. I have policies for the Rogues that not everyone agrees with, but I do not enforce them with fire and I never will, because to do so would be WRONG. So long as their enjoyment of the game does not prove to be the detriment of a large number of people it is fine. At the point it becomes a problem, then something should be done. Innocent until proven guilty is a benefit of most civilised nations, why do some not enjoy that privilege here?
