Quote:Admins, hear this, is it really normal for all players to just go "meh" and log off, unwilling to play, their fun ruined by big boats only because factions have no control over their actions.
I've had my fun ruined by fighters/bombers. Does that mean we should fix and restrict them?
Quote:Do you have any idea how hard it is to reign in indys who like to fly big ships and go pew pew to everything? Please, if you're so knowledgeable about this, tell me, how would you talk to these people?
It's not the players' job to "reign in indies". If they break the rules, report them. If you provide evidence that they are clearly harming server gameplay, then they may be dealt with by the admins.
Talk to them in a friendly, RP manner and show them your view of the faction's RP. It's a much better approach than OOC complaining and berating.
Capital ships are a part of the game, don't stress too much over them. There will always be pvp-minded players, and there's a lot of them in fighters and bombers too you know. In my opinion, thinly-veiled-RP pvp whoring is worse than the actions of players who don't know how to roleplay.
