' Wrote: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.
My point was, that if it was not hard for us to do that thing, it should *not* be hard to do a little bit of RP on your ship.
And anyways, as Sindroms said, this is not about all indies, or all players for that matter, but this is a plead for granting some sort of possible measure against people who abuse their capital ships.
You might take offense at this, but 95% of faction capital ships are never abused.
And when they do get abused, such things get themselves sorted out very, very quickly.
It's just the fact of the matter that independent characters can't be in any way regulated to prevent abuse of any kind of ship for that matter, but emphasis on capitals because they make the most trouble, but faction ones get sorted very quickly, and all we want is some possibility of taking measures against people who've been proven to have abused their ship on multiple occasions and have ignored complaints and advice.
