Remove Hegemon

[Jack_Henderson]

A spoon can be abused... everything can be abused.

The Hegemon is not the problem.

It's the players that make it a problem.

So would you forbid spoons because an idiot used it to do something stupid???


More general answer:

But I can't think of why one should bother about adjusting/deleting one ship.

The solo-miner who sits there is doing no harm. He might not be roleplaying but he is not getting in your way if you don't want to interact wth him. => no problem

Not even the powerminer is doing any harm. You may need to ignore a few /s statements that are not exactly high-quality rp, but overall: => no problem.

Neither the powerminer that hauls his ore himself => no problem.


So: no changes to the Hegemon must be made.


Mining in small miner crafts is not a good option in dangerous environments (like e.g. Dublin). You end up as the loser. Small miners work best with a Hege. The combination improves coop and teamplay. So keep it.

Removing the Hegemon?

Yeah, right ... difficult problems are solved with easy solutions that don't work the way you've expected ^_^

Why not delete capital ships? That's what the powermines and lolminers are working for, right? :D

oh ... *sarcasm off* ... now it's back to normal ^_^

I admit I had to adjust my spam-6-CD-to-be-sure pirate-reflexes, but after it I could force a cau6 ptrans to comply under 40-50 disruptors.

I suppose--I haven't run into anyone that intelligent on my traders or miners yet.

In any case, having the Hegemon be an essentially stationary miner solves both problems. Miners don't have to worry about a drive-by rp-less stealing of their loot, and miners can't solo mine/haul their way to awesomeness. It is what the Hegemon model does in base FL--sits at an asteroid and harvests it.

Topic is old and confusing due to change of title during the discussion. Just lock it.

Go play the game, within the given limitations. That is how role play games are played. Not by trying to work around those limitations or whining about them.

1k works.
You can still make a cool profit with it, and it won't take too long to mine it.
Also Mafics are lulzy.

No matter what the cargo capacity of the Heg is reduced to I would never haul with it. The Stork is just so much less hassle to fly to market.

Nerfing the Hegemon will induce even more unrest, which will eventually lead to nerfing pirates, which will eventually lead to nerfing Discovery until everybody flies a Starflea with water guns.

and the bad news is?
