Admin Notice: Ship purchase restrictions

[Jinx]

that... if it was indeed implemented - would lead to an unbearable situation for the majority of players for the pleasure of a minority - and not even all those that d have the power to enjoy their greater freedom would feel comfortable with it.

Of course people get mad. More and more restrictions and more and more hassle equals less and less fun to play.

This is what I'd like to see this plugin used for, if possible:

* All official factions get an official faction ID.
* All members of these official factions need to apply for the ID through their faction leader.
* All HIGH GRADE military equipment (top class weapons, shields, armor, etc.) for all ship classes would be restricted access to those only carrying the official faction ID. I think adding new equipment, Mark10 weapons and similar for the capital ship classes, slightly better shields, MarkIX armor, etc. would mean a player wipe should not be needed.;)
* The same could - if voted on and accepted by the majority - be implemented to access the top-of-the-line capital ships.

Now that the cat is out of the bag - make use of it!

think outside the box. - think of how a player feels that has to beg for everything. - and keep in mind that discovery at least "was" build on the freedom of choice of both, equipment AND roleplay in a healthy symbiosis - and that no one ( that means not one, no matter of how long he has been around, how many posts he made or what IQ or doctors grade he can present ) is qualified to judge over other peoples choices and roleplay.


however - i would sometimes like to implement such suggestions - for the fun... ( oh - and for the fun of it - make sure that all your chars are non-official, and official factions employ a roleplay that differs from your idea of the factions RP )


we should really consider players to be quite capable of deciding whats appropriate and what is not. players shouldn t need to beg for what they need. the roleplayed restriction of certain pieces of equipment or even certain ships is OK. - but not by the rules, but by the players RP themselves.
