' Wrote:The crux of the disagreement between the two factions is allowed ship types. I would like Daumann members to be able to fly any ship they like so long as its inRP and green on the tech-chart, we are here for fun after all. I dont think its right to restrict members from flying a virage if they want to.
I don't want to spam the faction creation request so I'll answer here:
The Virage is a Zoner ship and we thought it would be a bit OORP for a Rheinland company to use it and its the same with the Charon you mentioned on skype. InRP it would make sense for us to fly RM ships for our escorts, but we all know what RM will say about that.
It's the same OORP problem with the civilian trains. Daumann builds a complete line of transports (Humpback, Ragnar, Behemoth, Colossus Train, Titanic Heavy Tanker) so I dont see why InRP we would buy ships from other manufacturers. Mercedes will never buy Volvo trucks, that simply doesn't make sense.
As for the Hegemons, this is a different story. From my own experience I know that people will prefer to stay in a field alone and shoot rocks, without contributing to the faction's RP. We had that problem in the old DHC and we want to avoid it this time. So far restricting (note: restricting; we will have some shared Hegemons) seems the best solution, but if it doesn't work we'll look for an alternative.
