' Wrote:Now, if someone would re-read the original first posts, they would find that objections against indies are only those who abuse their ships. Those who rp in-game, they are fine, noone is poking them.
But this still affects them, even if they don't abuse their ship. Sure, that's cool that you and your friends got together and roleplayed out building a cap ship. I bet everyone had a good time doing it too. But not everyone would have fun doing that, and the indies, well... there's no way you're going to convince them of that.
The key to roleplay is it has to be fun. If noone is having fun they're not going to do it. Keep in mind, for one person to raise enough cash to equip and fit a battle ship, it's going to take weeks, maybe even months. You can't tell someone, "Oh hey, by the way, you have to bring me 40k of this item, 20k of this item... etc." That's why people buy things, so they don't have to make it themselves. If an admin wants to facilitate building a ship, awesome. I'm all about it.
Just keep in mind who you are affecting when you ask for legislation like this. Yes sure, it may make the game enjoyable for you, but what about the 1000 or so other players on the server, Hell, more than half of them will never see this thread.
