One way of dealing with the situation is to convince the admins to either fly up to the Taus and Omicrons some more, or to support official faction control over capital ships. Back in 2008 official factions had the capability to prevent certain indies from ever setting foot inside of a capital ship, and it worked out fine... until a bunch of pro-indie toss-pots decided that Epyon the Bored was indeed Epyon the devil, and sabotaged the control we used to had because of this fact.
Capital ships are laughable, especially since this game was never made for them... and because of the fact that a couple of brilliant minds have made no effort of "fixing" the problem which makes caps oh so difficult to deal with...
Either bring back official faction control, or nerf the snot out of the large capital ships so that they can't be jack-of-all-trade vessels which can kill ships of their own class as well as fighters. (Because let's face it: Giant guns mounted on a giant ship should not be capable of hitting small ships without first devoting twelve hours of prayer to the god of turret tracking systems.)
