Whats the point?

[Warlord]

Alright in case you wondered, this is not a topic with complains.
It's a topic that (hopefully) will show you that there are currently things happening without a good RP background, which should either get a RP background or shouldn't be done at all.

What is this thing you ask?

Here be a example for you that happened like 5 minutes ago (of course it's in Liberty..)

Now what you see there is 3 Rogue and 1 hacker Gunboat hitting on the LNS. Aurora seemed not to return fire as the captain piloting it found it quite ''bored'' that those gunboats were engaging him. I tried talking to the pirates to hear the reason of their attack, one of them telling me: ''We don't need a reason!''

After awhile the LNS simply docked on Manhattan, leaving the pirates empty handed and retreating.
So it got me thinking, realizing the following points.

- There are LOADS of Gunboats these days, lawful and unlawful. If you fly in a fighter your practically useless now.

- There have been huge fights at the most ockward places (like in front of Manhattan) with in the end having no point to it at all.

Why.. why are pirates out for killing and not for pirating? Why are most lawful forces hiding in giant capital ships.

If people could cut the capital-ship spam and get into fighters/bombers more it would solve a lot already. If pirates are actually pirating and not out for a killing spree it would increase the global RP level, if lawful forces would get out of the caps and do patrols in fighters/bombers it would increase the RP level.
Why don't you people start thinking about role playing more, fighting less? Why is it that when theres like a fight at West Point that ALL people are involved there?

Wouldn't it be much better if it goes like this..

- Pirates have spread out into different systems hacking different trade lanes
- Lawful patrols respond to trader distress calls and come in a small number
- There will be action in different places, 2v2 in New York, patrols in Texas, 1v1 in Colorado and 3v3 in California (just saying stuff)

But who am I to tell you this? I just know that people that recognize themselves in this will simply get into denial or ignore this. It's like talking sense into most people here is more then useless!

I thought this was a RP server, not a capital-ship server.

Give me your two cents, who knows there might be a miracle and something gets done about this for once.
