How to make Discovery better?

[n00bl3t]

Nooblet,

My largest and ricest character ship is a Firefly. I also fly a Bulldog, Recycler, Kingfisher, and CSF. I don't have a single capital ship. But me not flying a capital ship isn't going to solve the problem any more than your other suggestions. If the system worked we wouldn't have so many capital ships flying around and we wouldn't have so many ooc violations. The fact of the matter is, we have both. Therefore telling them that what they are doing is wrong and that they should stop is obviously not working. If they won't control themselves a more strict set of controls should be placed on them.

How many capital ships do you fly? How many standard ships do you fly? If you limit yourself as I do, only one ship that is non-standard or limited by story line for every five characters, then excellent. If you aren't flying more standard ships than limited and/or capshsips, then you are part of the problem. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but not every character can be a funboat or capship captain. Not every character can fly non-standard ships. That's why they are limited by story line, that's why they are called Capital ships. Because they are supposed to be special, not dime a dozen.

And finally, everybody would have equal opportunity to fly capital ships with what I proposed. All you would have to do is join an official faction and do some role play with them. If you are already role playing, it won't be any kind of imposition. It won't take any more time or effort than the role play you already do. And you are pretty much gauranteed to get a shot at a capital ship. I may take a bit longer, and the role play competition will be better, as we all strive for the limited number of Capships, but you will have an equal chance. You don't even have to give up any freedoms, because if you are already following the rules of the NPC faction, you are pretty much doing the same for the Official Player factions, and they allow special role play if you do it well enough, too.

I have over 35 characters, and I daresay the highest cruiser-class collection on this server. Obviously, since I am flying all 35 at the same time, and clogging up the server with my specialness, I am part of the problem.

I have already stated legitimate reasons why people cannot join official factions. Go read them. If you cannot understand these reasons and accept them, then I am afraid your solution and lack of tolerance is unneeded.

No, because you can have more than five characters. I'm saying if your capital ships and limited ships outnumber your standard ships then you are part of the problem. They are the standard ships of the faction for a reason, they are meant to be used by the majority of the characters in the faction. I am also saying that lolcaps aren't the entirety of the problem, just the most vocal and therefore most noticed. When you fly through a system and there more capital and restricted ships than anything else, role play has broken down in favor of game mechanics and pvp.

The NPC's can give you all the static normal RP you want.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.
