Should official factions have more power?

[Spear]

Well ... wherever the Merc ban came from ... it destroyed my chance to play a lawful. The FIRST lawful character I ever had was Baltar (an independent merc). And he kept getting ganked by ubercaps. He flew a Bretonian Gunboat and offered escort services to traders. But thanks to the ban ... I deleted the character. So much for me playing a lawful character. The other semi-lawful was A'den Jango with the Mandalorians. So ... I woulda liked to have a lawful character but Liberty and Rheinland "role play" destroyed that option.

On the ship ban ... I totally agree with the capships and such. You should never find a Rheinland battleship in Liberty just hangin about. But I'm flying a Kiith Somtaaw (a vessel with unknown origins "discovered" by Rheinland) ... hardly makes you a Rheinlander by flying it. Or how about the Advanced Train ... its not built in Liberty is it? And the Container Transport (Kusari)?

My first character ... still sitting down? My first character was Archelon ...:mellow:... I've also had Agisdi Vlenidohv and Atalawohisdi ... :cool:

But anyway ... I don't mind official factions having power and I totally agree that only one official faction can be the authority. Just need to make sure they don't let the power go to their heads.

Hahah! I actually had suspected you were Atalawohisdi in the past :laugh:
Don't give up on lawful char's, I think everyone should play all sides of RP, makes you appreciate other peoples perspective's.

The ship ban only covers combat ship's, there is nothing wrong with flying a Container Transport in Bretonia or an Adv Train in Liberty, you wont be asked to leave because of your transport ship type, you may be asked to leave if you belong to a faction based in a house that is at war with house you are in.

The Kiith Somtaaw is a civilian fighter, so I don't think you should have been assumed to be a Rhienlander if you fly one, it should be the ID that dictates people's behaviour towards you in that ship. If you were assumed to be an enemy in that ship I think that was unjustified.
