People that object to the idea of capital ships being useable by players is the same as complaining that your 20 year old car broke down and you got it checked 2 weeks ago(Hopefully, it wont be around for 20 years unless given complete over-haul). With any RP, Capital ships had far better value when it comes to actaully RPing? Gunboats and Gunships may be piloted like a Huge fighter, but Capital ships require crew and few people that own a capitol ship actaully do. Also I dont understand why people are complaining about Capital ships. On any server, even the offical Discovery RP server, capital ships are rare and rarely seen at all. From what I consider a Capital ship is a Dreadnaught and up and Cruisers and lower as support craft. The real capital ships usually stay around the shipyards of their faction or who are friendly with. And only seen at least 2 capital ships at newark every 2-3 weeks at most. They provide challenge and the means to conduct a stike where NPCs would just shoot everything in sight if the faction had a HVT they wanted to apprehend or simple raids. They play a important role in RP as the big guns when fighter squadrons cant finish the job or are inable to do so.
This version of Discovery is a war torn galaxy where factions are forced to create ships to defend their territory.
