In the whole Corsair-Zoner topic of rage, Jinx made this comment:
' Wrote:if a motion was made ( a serious one ) to take away capital ships from factions that didn t have them in vanilla - i am sure the devs will answer to that. - but i also predict that its like shooting your own foot. - it won t only be "the others" who loose their ships .... it ll also be you ( you, not only new ppl - if ships are purged - they d be taken away from everyone .... being disco - everyone but SRP ppl )
I've heard others share the same sentiment that too many factions have capital ships when it doesn't make sense. Personally, I agree as well. It seems odd that some of the more desperate factions like the Corsairs are able to have capital ships when they could better invest their money in building transports for artifact smuggling or buying more food. In fact, pirates and terrorists having capital ships in general confuses me. Very few terrorist groups have large sources of income and I doubt pirates make enough money from piracy to build capital ships. I'm even confused about how lawful factions like the Order have the money to build capital ships.
