' Wrote:Jamez, I want to point out an issue real fast...
Bounty Hunter = Assassin Type, hired to kill a single target that may somewhat be elusive.
Mercenary = Soldier Type, hired to fight wars and in battles.
A BHG is less likely to have a cap than a mercenary. A mercenary in a capital ship is MUCH More likely to get hired due to immense amounts of firepower, therefore a mercs goal would be to fund a battleship and use it...
And how did we get back onto limiting REGULAR players? The "cap whoring" issue is with factions, not lone players.
Good point mate, I'll swap merc and BH about in my post.
Anyway about the faction cap whore issue, the lone players usually group up/get hired by the factions, so my point still stands.
A dozen crew members, for a GUNBOAT?? Personally I'd say 2-4 crew members. Think of a Hercules Gunship in real-life, the weps are laser-guided, so you only need pilot, co-pilot and engineer.
