Attention: Order Capital Class ships.

[Birdtalon]

If you have played the Order before, Im sure you will all know about the "Capspam".

This is something which has been bugging me for a while now. The Independant Capital Class Vessels are letting the order down bigtime. Gone are the times of capital restrictions, which I agree with. But when I log on and find capships in Minor being as much OORP as you can get i think there is a problem.

[color=#FF0000]THIS NEEDS TO IMPROVE

I will explain how, you don't need to be an RP god or spend endless time writing stories and such. You just need to put some thought into what you put in that "System:" box.

1. A Crew.

All our ships have people inside of them, but think, wouldn't the Navigation Officer pause the Captain for a minute to suggest taking Course B instead of Course A?
Wouldn't the Weaponary Officer be shouting to all the weapon's crews the moment danger was iminent?

All you need to have is a few different people aboard. Remember, the moment you step into that big ship, there is no longer just one person driving like a fighter.



On my Battleship Wyvern, I have several senior crew members, all who speak from time to time.






I have also done a short discription for each, not mammoth amounts.

After reading this, don't think that we are forcing you to have 10 crew members and memorise all their names and such, far from it.

2. Speech.
Even if you just start off with two crew members having a conversation.
Like so.

Foley: Alan, prepare the weapons
Alan: On it sir.
Alan: This is Lieutenant Jones, to all weaponary crew. Prepare for battle, load hard rounds, engage targeting.
Foley: Good, we are all ready, take us in.
Alan: I suggest aiming for their large side armour sir.
Foley: Good idea Alan, broadcast to all stations.

And so on and so on.

You don't need massive amounts of roleplay to make your capships look like capships. If anything, at the bear minimum just use your fingers to type your Captain's name before the text you write.

I am not talking about all of you, just the majority, and it shouldn't even be that. It should be a minority, I sure most people on this board would agree with me when I say

"Most of the Capital Craft in the Order are crap"

Come on guys, you are letting yourselves down and you are, to some extent, letting the order down. This needs to improve drasticly and It starts now.

Birdy.
