Capital Ship Realism

[EisenSeele]

See, your whole post goes on about how there is abuse and it continues on that tack.

The point I was making is, there is no abuse which cannot be dealt with, with the rules, in the current situation. (Whether or not factions utilise the powers at their disposal is irrelevant.)


So, your whole point about controls, restrictions and so on, is, put quite frankly, is useless.

Obviously not, as the abuses still continue to happen. If such rules exist, they're not fulfilling their role.

Expanding on my previous post, capital ships would either have to be limited to such a ridiculously low number, or the server made to withstand ridiculously high numbers of players, in order for capital ships to be buffed to the levels you are talking about. (Limiting them cuts down on fun for those who suddenly have to switch to fighters, and yes, this is anti-independent, because it sure is not going to be an official faction selling off their capital ships. If you can find a way to increase the player count on the server, please PM Cannon, but I doubt you can.)

So this is what this is all about - you don't want to part with your independent cap ship and so you want to shut down any and all suggestions that may jeopardize your indiecap. It's a valid reason, and it's quite understandable - it even explains why you seem to be willing to ignore the problems.

Having said that, you go on about how a capital ship ruins several players' fun because of it's superior firepower. Again, simply, you are wrong. One, capital ship fire is slow, and it is almost impossible to hit fighters

One fighter (non bomber) vs one cruiser. Unless the cruiser is a complete moron or the fighter is most likely going to lose. The fighter, at best has a chance for a stalemate until someone gets tired and leaves.

Two, "lolbombers" love capital ships and they enjoy destroying it, this generates a lot of activity. (This part also makes me doubt the part where you say you love to play as an independent capital ship.)

As I said, a game with such a limited player capacity that mixes fighters and capital ships has inherent issues with capital/fighter ship compatibility. I happened to suggest a fighter friendly proposal since the Freelancer engine was built for fighter class ships.

If you love capital ships so much, start a thread like this questioning and implementing solutions for "lolbombers". Do it. Instead of questioning capital ships' unlimited ammunition, question how their SN is unlimited. Question how such a small craft can deliver such a destructive payload. Question how such a destructive craft is so cheap to manufacture. Question how their size allows them to fly forever without landing for fuel.

That's an idea, but it's irrelevant to this discussion
