Regarding the cruise changes

[Wilhelmine.Blamauer]

I think the draining of power in cruise is a good idea.

I tried it on my Sabre, and it really didnt cause me any problems at all.

For the people who want it removed because it affects their cap ship:

I think we can all agree that you shouldnt RP a capship like the huge personal ego-boat of a single individual who strolls around jumping other ships with it as if it was a small fightercraft.

The drain of power puts a lid on that.

Yes, it nerfs capships in a certain way, and you will not be able to do stuff you did before. MAybe takes away part of your fun. If I were able to teleport with my cap ship and used it to do surprise attacks and then someone says 'hey I think thats not a good idea', they would probably take my fun away too.

But the issue is that it forces you ande everyone to RP your capship in a more realistic way, helps the gameflow to create a fair and realistic RP and PVP environment, will reduce rule-layering ingame, and saves the admins a lot of work on sanction reports.

I'm really tired, tired tired of the cruising to catch up, the rule lawyering, being forced to rule lawyer yourself, writing sanction reports that dont get processed, getting people sanctioned when they do get processed, all the people telling me 'oh I didnt know', all the people telling me 'oh I though you engaged cruise so I did too'.

Sorry, but I put that above your frustraton of not being able to jump people in your cap ship and wanting to fly it as if it was a light fighter.

Dont like it that NPCs may hurt you plenty if they catch you alone?
Fine... dont go there alone. Take some fighters with you, or a fleet. Thats how REAL cap ships operate aswell.

You wanna start shooting immediately after someone CDs you? MAybe you can try to drop a few lines of RP, or give the other guy to do that, while you wait for your guns to recharge.

Tenacity, you say that this punishes all the 'good people' and the 'bad' ones should just get sanctioned. To that I'll just say that reading the forums, you seem to have a history of insulting people, wanting ingame advantages over other people because you are there longer, and getting on hate trips when you feel your discoverygc-power is not given enough attention. Not someone I would trust to be 'good' in a cap ship, sorry.


Not nice of me to say that? You werent nice to a lot of people, in particular with this subject.

And... I would also encourage making cap cruise speed 200 or 250. I'm no dev but I *think* it should be possible to stay in cruise formation with fighters if the fighters form on the cap (after all the formation cruise speed also varies from 350 to 420).

Before you all scream out...
Yes it will make you want to play a cap ship less. Or force you to play it like a REAL cap ship.

If we get less caps ingame because it that would be a GOOD thing.

And yes, people who fly mainly in caps wont like it.
