I have seen just one too many one man gunboats, hell 9 out of 10 gunboats I see are flown by one person.
My question is, how on earth can you tell that a gunboat or larger contains only one occupant simply by sight?
Believe it or not, some people simply don't like to portray multiple crew members from a single craft talking on a comm channel.
I've got a Gaian Gunboat with a few people on staff & I've got a zoner whale with a couple dozen robots doing everything from scrubbing the toilet, managing cargo hold inventory, to even cooking food in the galley.
I will never portray that in space for 2 distinct reasons: 1- it's a bitch & a 1/2 to type the name of the person speaking every single time I reply to someone on the server, & 2- it's my job as the captain of the ship to do all the talking on the comms and leave the crew to keep their yaps off my radio & concentrate strictly on their jobs.
If other people dig doin' that sort of thing, that's fine, cause that's the fad bandwagon alot of people have jumped on in recent months, but it gets aggravating & tiresome after a while to feel obligated to respond to multiple crew members from a single ship in an RP engagement.
