Can you honestly tell me that when you see a destroyer, cruiser, or battleship lolling around, killing Light Fighters, while not RPing at all, would not deserve it's ship privileges taken away?
Oh please.
And as for the... "Every ship can be abused." sentence.
Yes, precisely, absolutely, sure it can.
But. What you forget is that a capital ship, and nay, a group of capital ships, can do much much more damage than a few fighters can.
Oh I forgot. You'll just ignore me.
But seriously people.. Don't be utterly pessimistic and refuse possible solutions to problems we have.
I was on my Order Recon Destroyer the other day. At FP11. Keepers as usual, were lolling about trying to "Icanhazurbase" sort of thing. There was a Juggernaut fighting a Keeper BS and an LF zooming about. I moved to engage the BS, since it would not be fun for me to shoot something that has the armour of a VHF and dodges like a Starflea on steroids. I figure the LF would like that too. As I cruise towards the fight, suddenly my engines are disrupted, Nomad Lasers are firing on me and this transparent globule is dropping mines on me. I engaged it. Let us imagine that I was carefree, unaware of the drama and politics, and not so paranoid as to have my SS button pressed more than my right click mouse button, and someone was to cause a ruckus because an independent Order capital ship was literally firing on an LF? Right. I can see the community being extremely forgiving in this instance in the new open, transparent process you propose.
Let us go through responses on Skype, since it is utilised as a primary real-time communication machine, for various hostile ships.
Battleships, get at least three people online with bombers.
Bombers, eh. (At minimum response, it gets no-one on.)
Now, let us compare the "wtfpwn":size ratio of these two ships. Let us compare the cost. Let us if we can, count the number of bombers, as opposed to battleships on the server. (Oh yes, the BS is definitely the problem.)
' Wrote:all they have to do is not say lol in system chat and rape light fighters with their battleships.
Tell people who get raped by 4 dreadnoughts how we're handling it.
Tell me how we're handling it when they ruin an hour long time of RP which is getting capped(Ooh, wrong word choice perhaps.) off with a nice fight.
If your LF gets creamed by a BS, in this particular mod, you need to learn how to fly, or how to RP.
If you are here for the RP, then the hour-long RP is all that matters. Unless of course, you are here for the PVP.
Match the colours for some fun.
' Wrote:Look... If you're sat looking at two ships, one is a liberator and the other a lib carrier, which would you look at first?
Whilst rhetorical, I think people would look at the Liberator first since there are Carriers than anything else. (Just to clarify, my statement is sarcastic because people have a disbelief that battleships outnumber every other ship on the server put together.)
As to what Swift suggested, type out in a couple of paragraphs how exactly you want to implement your system. I know you may feel you just did that, but it was interlaced with rhetoric and a bit messy.
