'Bout in-game ship buying.

Thatd kill population on the server. Not everybody is on forum. NOt everybody can write textwall of ossim story to get one.

Would it?
Do you think most people play with the intent to get a battleship?

If you dont give players freedom, theyll go to place where freedom is. While then we can have realism, we will have 25% of players too. Not much fun to have in empty space, is there?

I think it wouldn't hurt to redistribute players across some of the other servers, there are usually well over 100 on here, and I have not seen many more than a dozen on any of the other Discovery servers.

You´d miss the capspam then...

I wouldn't, I don't know how to recognise it.;)

I could go on, but I think you get the point on HOW MANY PEOPLE have capital ships.

How would you redistribute? Telling them - NO BS HERE, GTFO? You cannot force player to be in part of space he does not like. I for instance wouldnt ever play outcast, nomad, gallian and many others. Force me? Id rather be gone;)

Out of how many total players?

Who is talking of force?
As I said, I am new here, I do not know if there is a problem or not. The fact that somebody has brought it op, and there is talk of it causing lag suggests there might be.

It seems to me that if capital ships cause lag, then there should be a mechanism to limit their use. OP suggested one: there are clear reasons why that would not work.

I have suggested an alternative. You have not actually given any reason why it wouldn't work, other than that some people don't use the forum, and you don't like the idea of limiting capital ship numbers.

On the former, it doesn't have to be through the forum, you could ask a battleship dealer (or an admin) in game, but if you're prepared to put in the effort required to get such a ship, then is it so much to ask to pop in here and say "hello"?

[CzeReptile]

We brought this topic up many times. I got denied by very reasons I gave you. Lag is caused by many things, high refire guns for example, which caps hardly have. Well, for most part.

Limiting ships does no good. It will always be a capspam should people want it. Also burdening admins with more paperwork related to giving out battleships, yeah go ahead. They have lives too.

Cost does not balance power. The sooner people understand that the better.
