Five Commandments of the Order

[Tenacity]

Athenian, since the release of 4.85 and the decree by admins that factions can no longer restrict capship purchases, the number of capital ships (almost all indies, btw) in the order has more than tripled. In the time since I returned to the Order, I've seen more indy carriers than gunboats, destroyers, or osirises combined - the ship is meant to be rare, it isnt supposed to be the most common ship seen in order space, that's half the reason we told the corsairs they couldnt use it.

Further, I've seen more capships than fighters and bombers combined flying under an Order tag since 4.85 released. I would say, conservatively, that 90% of them are lolwutters with zero idea how to RP a capship, and nearly all of them abuse the power the ship has whenever the enemy (keepers, navy, or bhg) shows up in fighters.

I'm sorry, but you, and the rest of the admins, are wrong, and you were wrong from the time that you put out that decree preventing the restriction of ships. Indies may not like it, but capships need to be an earned right on this server, at least anything cruiser sized or above. If you can prove yourself a capable RP'er with enough self control to not shoot at everything that moves, then you should be given consideration for control of a cap, not before.

The abuse is going to continue until the admins realize their mistake, and nothing can be done about it until then. Even if factions make every indie lolwutting capship kill on sight, nothing will change.
