A way to controll capital spammage

[ryoken]

As an LN Secondary Fleet Battlecruiser Captain I have to agree with the amount of "lolwut" captains. So much so I actually avoid going online at certain times in the day just so I can avoid being dragged into anouther "lolraid rhienland".

I do however think simply making it so all caps MUST be registered to the secondary fleet before they're allowed to even put LN or LNS in thier name may go a long way in resolving it. Since most of these captains are either just [Name] or LNS-[Name] but not registered. And if it was also added that you have to have LNS-[Name] with a cap then those will vannish. Or atleast bother to fill in some paperwork ... which they probably won't.

All caps do have to be registered,or factions can get them FR5'd as stolen.
Some of us do not want to be "LNS" tagged because most "LNS" are lolwuts,and do not want to be labled as 1 for the tag.

People want to make this claim that somehow there is some huge "lolcap" problem. I have seen no actual evidence that the problem with caps is any larger than the problem with fighters. Yes, there are idiots in caps, but there are just as many idiots with snubs, and I hate to tell you, there are just as many idiots in factions as there are indy idiots. So, if you want to deal with the "lol" problem, as Jinx said, deal with it, dont just target one or two ship classes as the problem.

Although, if you had some kind of evidence that caps are a bigger problem than snubs, I would be willing to give it a listen.

I would also love to see evidence caps are worse then Snub's. Caps die in NY all the time to bomber swarms. A good cap captain does not engage,but runs from Bombers.

Most newbies, the "good ones", those who want to learn, don't go "zomg I need to trade for a week then I get solaris ossie and I zomg keel everything. What, you're not the boss of me, I can gank that solo fighter we 3 ossies". You know what I'm saying? We reached this point only after many have tried to explain the proper behaviour, yet they've been ignored/insulated/flamed/whatever. People who act like that are the those I woulnd't mind gone.

So do not give anyone a chance to learn? just tell them all,"go to hell,we don't want you" that will help Discovery? Right.
I started here,and got a cap 3 days after i started. Does not mean i should not be wanted by player base,cause i wanted to try one. In first month i had 6 BS's,i still RP'd them,and 4 were Faction tagged.
Denying new players rights is not an improvement,it is a sign of server going backwards.

Basically you cannot tell some people good,or bad. They have to learn it on their own. Denying that option will cause anger. The past has shown anger is bad,when a bunch pretty much shut Disco down for weeks to get revenge. Remember you never know who is on other side of web. Piss off a Hacker,and you get trouble. Trouble our well educated staff may not be to handle.

PS. Last time everyone yelled it is too easy to power trade for a cap guess what? Trading got nerfed. Did it help? NO! we got more traders that F1.
