' Wrote:For what it's worth, here is the perspective of someone new to Discover, and RP in general -

I don't see the big price tag on capital ships as a deterrent. I see the amount of time it takes to get in one as fitting my character's story.

I managed to get a hold of a Bactrian to pirate with, and have worked my way into a Roc. Now I am looking to get into an official faction, and when I do, I expect to start at the bottom in light fighters, most likely.

From there, my character will have to work hard to prove his worth and work his way up the ranks into larger ships. Larger ships, larger responsibilities, they should definitely require higher rank. I have ambitions to one day fly a cruiser, but I know this will take a lot of time to get to, and it would in a normal circumstance, anyways. Nobody starts out as an admiral in a battleship. They start out as the fresh lieutenant in his fighter, eager for battle.

Honestly, if I could have any ship I wanted, there wouldn't be any accomplishment to finally working my way up the ranks in a faction to be able to get that cap ship. I would just spend a day floating around to get my standing up, get my cap ship, and miss out on the whole story I am creating to get there from where I am now. Instead, every time I log on freelancer in my little Roc and try to fight a Navy gunboat, I have a new page in my character's role play history. It's real history made here in Discovery, and I think that is the kind of role play you guys want to happen.

So, please, make me work for my ships. Make me have to spend time to get anywhere. If I don't, my character won't have much of a story at all, other than some page I can make up about his mysterious past, instead of a real living history of interactions with the many people on this server.

-My 2 cents, feel free to throw it out

You're misinterpreting what I'm saying. I'm not saying get rid of the rank up, get a new ship system in factions. I'm saying make ships cheaper so you don't have to spend time grinding to get them; time that could be spent on interesting RP.
