this may sound like sour grapes but i just wanted to voice my opinion on something and i'll keep it short.
i'm not a big fan of posting kill messages on the forums. i originally wrote about my kills but it just never sat well with me. sure fighters can RP being in a pod after a loss and then getting a new ship from their faction but named ships can't do that.
it's a double edged sword really, on one side you post that you killed someone's character or their irreplaceable ship. then on the other side, the ship you said you destroyed shows up a few hours later without a scratch....completely undermining your tales of conquest.
so there you are...you've meta-gamed both your RP and the other guy's RP
it finally boils down to bragging rights...which to me are pointless & i see no need for it on a RP server.
