F_wolf I found your story more than a little shocking. Ok w/e, you're right it is a game and you have the freedom to RP (within some guidelines I might add). Now the following is not a criticism of you mate, just a rant in general:)
The reason why the planetary defense shield was invented, was to stop this kind of thing, "I WENT AND PWNZORED YOUR PLANET 10 BILLON PEEPLE DEAD LOL!!1!!!!1!!1"
A single cruiser (or whatever), unaided, wreaking that kind of destruction on a home planet? I mean come on. Even if the place is undefended by a faction -- everyone can't be on 24/7 -- it is still backed up by navy patrols all over the place. Yes I know NPC patrols suck, and are useless against any capship, especially with the tactics (or lack thereof) used by NPCs.
But still how about a little RP? Lets assume Navy patrols have some teeth when making a story. "Single guy makes bombing raid on LA... intercepted by a LN patrol... 1 cruiser and Dreadnought destroyed and many prisoners taken, before being forced to withdraw with heavy damage."
Ok put it this way.... if NPC capships had shields and decent weapons, we wouldn't see some guy in a gunboat sitting over a planet, pwning Navy patrols with impunity, and littering the skies with junk like he's some kind of god.
(again F_Wolf, not a dig at you personally, just I've seen it so many times.)
