Ill address your concerns about the Liberty Navy. I'd do so about the Phantoms as well, but I really cant be arsed to write a wall as long as yours.

Liberty Navy
Rant
The Liberty Navy, wow, you are supposed to be a NAVY, I do not see the navies of the world handing out their battleships to anyone who rocks up and asks for one Seriously, moderate the amount of people who can buy a Navy Capship, and fix up your RP, (this is for some of you, not necessarily all), I mean is it good RP to threaten to obliterate a smart mouthed trader? And when the Cartel is pirating is it good RP to leave them alone? And what about the Phantoms? They are supposed to be evil homicidal madmen and you do not even ask them to stop?
Summary of my issues with the faction
Extreme overspam of Liberty capships
Some of the players RP is not so good
They are not much help against pirates
Possible solutions to the problems
Place some restrictions on the use of Liberty capships, Make sure that people have decent RP before they can buy one, and make people apply for all capships, you could make the Liberty capships that are not registered on a Hunt and Destroy list.
Fix up the RP, I mean you are supposed to be protecting the traders not threatening to kill them for making a joke about you
You need to actively respond to all pirates in the Liberty sector, not just say ORLY? When a trader reports 2 LR bombers in the next system and just sit there.

First of all, we do threaten to shoot smart-mouthed traders. In fact, I endorse this. Very few people abuse military personnel these days, even if they cannot react. Since its the internet, of course everybody roleplays smartasses. The police cant arrest you for doing so due to the game mechanic, so I'll blow you up instead.

Cartel pirating and leaving them alone? You make it sound like something was definately wrong there, but maybe the navy player died or has roleplay linking them to the Cartel? My character has some quirks about her that'll make you go 'wtf how did that happen'. You cannot make an assumption about good RP and bad RP until you know the entire circumstances of the character to which you are referring.

We can't restrict battleships/cruisers/battlecruisers seriously until a variant of faction law 5 comes into force, which is not likely to happen this century. Though, if they act like idiots, I hop on the durango and give them a few heavy mortar shots to think about.

But then again, if shooting traders is bad RP, shooting your own guys must be bad RP too.
Did I mention that, if you get my character angry enough, she will shoot anything? Even her own men directly under her command? [LN]-Christina.Robinson shooting [LN]-Curtis.Elwood with real intent to kill. I have a feeling you'd scream out of roleplay straight away, but open your mind and try to understand that things arent always as they seem.

If you make an assumption about my roleplay for this particular character and still conclude that it is out of roleplay, then I will consider you a lost cause. There are reasons for these things, just that they are not visible. Most aren't visible even after I've explained it here. There is cause and there is effect, and I only explained the effect.

About the actively responding to pirates in the Liberty sector.
I had someone PM me whilst I was in New York about a pirate in California I think.
I was getting shot by six Phantoms and two random mercenaries at the same time.
This was a few days ago.
Which is the bigger threat? You tell me.

Again, things arent always as they seem. You'll do yourself good if you stop assuming you're right.

That said, I make your mistake a lot too. I assume things.:unsure:
Fair enough.
