Capital Ship Realism

[Jinx]

i have not forgotten that...

the wolfhound has no chance vs. a cruiser - now .. whats that gotto do with roleplay?

i do not have a chance vs. a voidrunner when i m flying a roc - does that turn the voidrunner into a lol-fighter? - and ... yea.. i do NOT have a chance, unless the voidrunner decides to make a coffeebreak. ( maybe another player has a chance - so yes.. no matter the skill, no player in a wolfhound has a chance vs. a cruiser.... but the point is, who is to judge? - ONE VHF has a chance vs. a gunboat ( inferno + 7 krakens ) - yet, we d never call the VHF a bad player for attacking a gunboat - the contrary happens, we applaud him.

but if it means "as long as i have a chance - everything is a fair game - and roleplay / responsibility is of a secondary or at least equal matter" - i say that 1 bomber vs. 1 cruiser is a very fair game indeed )



roleplay creates situations where there is no balance... unfair situations. - when we re on the stronger side, we feel good - and not rarely justified for being there. when we re on the weaker side, we search for excuses. ( searching for excuses is not meant in a negative way here - players first search for game-mechanic excuses - so no player is to blame, only afterwards, they start to blame other players )

a wolfhound has no chance defeating the cruiser - that is correct. - but he has an extremely high chance getting away - one ship is invulnerable to the fighter, the other ship is invulnerable due to agility and size.

roleplay gives both ships an equal chance to get away alive - however... the rules ( which are generally ooRP itself ) favour the cruiser as "not fleeing" - while the community favours the fighter.
