But Let's say LH (stands most likeley for Lane Hackers) should have supreme control over all lane hackers. It should be almost required to join a faction to own their most expensive ships.
This is how i envision things. You want to be a freelancer indy inside a faction? Sure you can fly every fighter every bomber, perhaps gunboat. But if there exist a real faction, system owning on and so forth... You would be required to join it and meet their demands for owning that covated cap.
I'll be damned if it's in the best roleplay or intrest of the gaming community if anyone can just strole in LH guard system and buy a Spyglass and then take it to omicrons and fight off Corsairs...
There should be some drawback for this. Perhaps factions would have to pay a few billion credits to get privilage over all their cap ships. I really don't see indies flying large capships of factions with established leadership. I mean why on earth would LN just release their battleships to anyone?
There should be a rule... x.x.: Every purchase of a capital ship should be endorsed by the official faction that owns those ships.
There should be some restriction to what can a faction ask in return from you. Perhaps you would have to wear a tag, LH-i (lane hacker indy), some kind of roleplaying test, one should not be allowed to demand money from indies to buy it. Perhaps requiring indies to bring in resources hull panells and such to construct it, might be required. One can get very creative with that and I think it is in our best intrest to limit cap ships.
Nothing is more tiresome than a destroyer cruising up to your behind and start blasting, one could be out all day reporting the mute engagements and play very little,... and after all would be sorted, capwhores would come in with "Engaging Santa" and after that they would even be void of sanctions, without a noticable increase in roleplay quality.
There should be a test, wich factions would then enforce, to possible future owners of capital ships.
Finally someone speaks of something like this again. And I again state my 90 % agreement with the claims here. Although yes, I AM aware the next poster will probably be against this, offer some sort of argument or just call Jure a FL Faschist. I for one think this is a smart idea.
