shipsales - and RP

[Athenian]

This is confusing role-play and game mechanics.

The /movechar command allows ships to be bought and sold. If you want to avoid buying, repping and role-playing the creation of a ship, or find that someone out there has a character they don't want anymore, then it's convenient. But as for it being a role-play thing, well, that isridiculous in many cases. Of course, the buying and selling of certain ships could be role-played - ready made civilian ships etc. That would be an interesting thing to see - people selling a complete line of ships; but what's the benefit?

Generally the purchase of ships done in role-play is to provide a justification for factions to use technology outside the standard, which are bought and repped by people themselves. The forum rp is required for many unusual set-ups like this.
