Poll: Capships, abuse, input . . .

[kingvaillant]

I am flying in Liberty and OORP battleship happen to log everyonce in a while, but it is very rare. Not frequent enough to justify the proposed idea in the poll.

Too much loss for very little gain.

I'm still partial with the idea of special request for BS. Too much trouble for admins and good players who've played their BS in a very respectable way.

As for other regions of sirius, hard to say. I don't travel much around.

I treat a liner as capital class trading vessel due to thier power, size and armor. It takes as much to build a single liner as most warships take to construct.

What about say, a shire? Or a shetland? Those things are bigger than most warships, shire is bigger then the bretonian destroyer, and the shetland is the same size as the bretonian battleship, making it bigger than the liberty BS and the osiris.

Should they be regulated (i personally wouldnt mind it)?

In the case of the shetland, no, because it is mostly cargo pods.

The C-Trans class I am iffy on. By the justifications I just gave they are actually more deserving than liners because they are stronger, but at the same time they do not have the same RP background as liners.

Either way we are kinda leaving the topic.

I almost always encounter a lol'OC Dessie in New York, I consider that OORP, minus the NPC stationary base Dessie.

I'd think if you restricted liners they would have to be buffed. Bugger cant even compare to a shire besides looks.

Anyways I love the idea of making battleships white to all factions that can use them. Would take care of a lot of problems with requiring them to have forum rp. Besides the matter is all this fuss and I dont think its that big of a problem, more of the community at large targets them due to past grievances.

Why this witch hunt?

Honestly, clamping down on the Battleships has always been the 'cool' thing to do in Discovery but it is also the most retarded a lot of the time. I've seen more people driven by simple jealousy or 'He shotted me up!' saying yes to this sort of thing before than anything else.

Can we not just..leave it alone? There is no perfect solution, no matter how hard you look for it.
Discovery use to be fantastic for the freedom you had. Things have slowly but surely got worse and worse in that regard. The number of rules is a testament to that, something that even the Admins don't like.


Please, can we just stop trying to find things to complain about and then nerf? Can we not just..play the damn game?

EDIT: And if you see OORP battleships every time you play, you must be one of them. No amount of forum roleplay is going to force people to roleplay properly ingame. Forum posts and roleplay ingame are not the same.

I've seen a huge zoner ship (juggernaut I think) role playing like he was yoda from star wars. That being said, I think they should be restricted to official factions. I have a feeling often times the people in Capital Ships are the same people that just power trade.

Official factions often may not roleplay in the way that everyone wants. I don't want to work my way through the ranks of a faction for months, if not years, just to get a ship so I can roleplay it as a research vessel.

Also leave Yoda alone, he's been around for a very very long time and doesn't harm a fly. Just a nice guy who likes to keep to himself really.

These whining threads are ridiculous.
Battleships are very fragile against bombers, they are in no way over powered.
Why are you complaining?

There is more OORP fighters/bombers/gunboats than capital ships.
Should we wipe all fighters/bombers/gunboats too, to satisfy your personal anger and then make everyone request one?

[Camtheman Of Freelancer4Ever]

There are many problems with this.

Why not restrict bombers or every damn class in the mod? Every single class lolwuts once in a while, its just the capships that are larger and therefore more "noticeable". And please, Do not insult Yoda, even though he does act like he is from starwars, Why dont you judge the Colonial Remnant too? Also, with Official Factions having to approve of the RP would bring in questions about people critizizing other peoples RP, What is "Good" RP and what is "Not Good" is entirely in the hands of the beholder. I personally think it should stay the way it is, There really is no way you can "Restrict" caps, look at how many times they've failed at doing it.

1. Guard ID's. They were originally made to cut down on caps.

2. Placement of Caps in Guard Systems
