Discovery 4.81 features, bugs & suggestions

[Firebird]

SF on the other hand uses barely any Bretonia ships at all, which is completely against their RP. Their leader is using the Colonial Viper and Battlestar for god's sake..

Funny how no one notices I use a Bretonian Gunboat or the Large Train from Newcastle instead of the Container Transport from Kusari.

I only use 5 chars, ie one account and 1 of those is bank/storage, some people like having 10-15 different chars and ships but I prefer fewer so I can spend more time with them and use ships that I'll bother flying on a regular basis. All SF members I believe have at least one of their ships either bretonian or liberty if not 2 or 3, and I do not even require that. Just realized this too, its SF not BAF, right.

Now I fly the bstar and viper because I like those ships. The Battlestar because its cool to fly around, same for the viper. I have tried switching to an avenger for a short time (I like PVP too and yes the viper bug makes things very unfair for my opponents). Problem is I find the stats way too different for fighting NPCs (avenger just in radiation takes damage way faster than the viper). Given I spend more time fighting NPCs than players I chose to go with that. Anyone who's not happy about it...tough...get a whine jar so we don't have to hear you complain.

The ship restrictions I placed on SF allow for some leeway in what people can use, its good for attracting members that like some bretonian ships but not all. Am I going to change things such that I restrict my member's ships only to bretonian... no, there's enough restrictions already in place to be reasonable for RP. In fact, the ability to choose other ships has encouraged some people to write posts explaining how they obtained their non-Bretonian vessels (350z as an example wrote an RP post describing how he obtained a liberty carrier, he didn't need to but chose to do so anyways). The RP i've done with the SF is as reasonable I might add as Zoner's and some smaller pirate factions having capital ships, the corsairs using the Osiris class design and the introduction of colonial/cylon/imperial forces. RP has some flexiblity that's what makes it fun and can be interpreted or written many different ways.

Every other faction needs to do something similar to that. Put some kind of restriction.

My last 2 cents, Dab worry about regulating your own faction...don't try to pass your restrictions, rules and beliefs on to us or others. Share opinions but realize there's more than one way of looking at things. SF has followed reasonable RP, the ships we use are lawful vessels (no Kusari and at the moment believe no Rhienland either) and no one has a pirate class vessel (yes had one person using an outcast dread but that situation has been rectified). Is the SF restrictions and RP slightly different than what you want, yes...guess what...live with it and quit complaining (you've made your point in multiple posts, I've made mine here in one, I don't intend to post again on this subject).



Now back to the actual topic...one idea, having a couple of transports all with the same maximum cargo hold. I see alot of cargo container transports since they have the highest cargo hold. Have a couple more with the same size (say 2-3) and you'll see a little more variation in what transports long-term players use.
