I won't be specific, as that would compromise some classified RP materials, but I have a certain ship which, by it's RP (and indeed, the RP on its infocard) does not moor itself with a station.

As weird as my vessel's habits might seem to some, it's much more in-RP for a ship of its class to sit in deep space and keep away from stations (and I really wished more players RPed it that way).

It's pretty clear its the barge you are talking about. I mentioned concerns to Cannon and he acknowledged them.

The infocard says not to dock planets becasue it will blow the ship up when you undock and also potentially crash the server. That's the "no docking" purpose. I proposed the entire concept for the ship and made the rough model that Jinx eventually took over from Seth and finished. i do know "what it is for". it's for rp.

Not everyone's Rp for a barge will involve having a ship that is unknown to all other players and never seen--I can "pretend rp" that or use a starflea for it or any big transport. Some rp does allow it to carry cargo and dock.

One of the scenarios was mining--a player can mine, fill it up and take it to a station or friendlier system. Others were for a neutral party to accumulate loot from criminals and sell it at a better profit for them. I was on a carrier and "forward deployed" to a foreign homport to boot. We spent nine months a year at sea--but we did dock once in awhile and sometimes for as long as sisxty days at a time. Nuclear subs "hide" but they also return to port. The barge is the same. Once parked, it is not assumed and required to "never move again" as long as it stays in its rp.

Please don't define down the rp of it to "one thing only"--that defeats the whole intent. And as for the "wish others thing"--mine flew around to find issues and glitches and to look for crashes and the like--also to promote my rp for it and the ship itself so people would know what it was. After having done that, its parked in PR in a secure orbit--just like yours. Once in awhile I dock Vieques or Aercibo.
