Okay, all fine and nice, but I can't help have some serious reservations about this whole battleship-crusade thing. Anticipating this whole thing months ago, I sold off my beloved Liberty Dreadnought the Sanctifieriae a good six or seven weeks ago. Now I'm being told I have to choose between keeping two ships I have invested serious time into and poured my blood, sweat and tears into for months, Fantasia and Brick. Now, the Brick I've been hoping to avoid scrapping, but I was going to have to anyway because I can't afford to pay for the Foundation's flagship, which I hope to start around Christmas. But now they're telling me I'm not going to get to have that Outcast Dreadnought. I'm going to be stuck commanding a faction from a dinky little Outcast Destroyer, certainly a capable vessel for its intended role, but lacking a few very important quantities when it comes to being a Flagship, namely armor and guns. I realize it says that there will be exceptions for people with exceptional RP, but how do I know this includes me? I don't. For all I know, and as has been my experience in things like these, this exception will apply to a very select few. You can't even make an exception like that without making people angry and hurt, very hurt. Believe me, somebody important will get their feelings hurt, and we could end up with the South Alliance and Hellfire allying against the Phantoms and TAZ or some unholy situation like that. And how about me? I've just been told that my dream faction isn't going to happen unless I kill off characters that have literally been with me throughout most of my lifespan, characters that are quite literally a part of me, and a large one. Willow, the pinnacle incarnation of all the names I've called him, has to die. Sarah Dvorak, again the greatest incarnation of her character, must die. I'm going to have to kill part of myself to satisfy a server rule. I'm willing to pour ridiculous amounts of time into a ship and pay through the nose for it, but I can't kill off Willow and Mia. I'm about to get flamed, attacked, ridiculed and scorned in every way possible, but there are those of us who really do have more in our big ships than a size complex, and that needed to be said. Imagine taking away Korrd's Rheinland Bomber, the late Nightfall's Saber, Hobby's Prison Liner, Lancer's Liberty Dreadnought. I don't want that to happen to us.
