Capital Ship Realism

[EisenSeele]

The problem which is not solved is not the problem being presented, but the problem of perception within the OP's post. (And, funnily enough, by the person I am quoting.)

Fixing this perception does not occur through nerfing capital ships. It lies with understanding the fact that there are ships out there which are more dangerous than a BS.
Read above. The problem is not with capital ships, it is with your perception.

However, since you seem to the solutions-man, go search for the other 9000+ topics on the same subject, and start addressing the points raised as to why this should not happen. (Since, quite frankly, I get tired of re-typing what I have typed months ago, and months ago before that.)
Echo. (Now replacing "/signed".)

It's not a question of what is dangerous and what is not, it's a question of sense. It's an RP game - which means everything should go along within the confines of the roleplay. Does it make the least bit of rp sense that there are so many capital ships? Does it make sense that it's gotten to the point that the ridiculous scenario of cap ships going about interdicting small fighters has become an actual issue?

The purpose of what I'm recommending is not to nerf capital ships, it's to ensure that they're to be used within the confines of the RP, which is what was originally attempted before the Devs decided that it was easier to just make cap ships hilariously underpowered instead of setting gameplay mechanics which would promote cap ship use the way it was meant to be. Hell, what I want is for these gameplay mechanics to be put in place so that cap ships won't have to be so damn useless.

This isn't cap ship bashing, this is lolcap bashing.
Denial, claiming that the problem is all in our heads, isn't the least bit constructive - perhaps you believe that every single one of what you claimed was 9000+ topics was the result of some mass delusion or some mistaken perception, then whatever. If you really do think the status quo is God, then more power to ya - but it doesn't change the fact that the current system is the reason why capships are so useless in the first place, nor does it change the fact that it makes no sense at all.
