i had asked for the zoner juggernaut to be removed - and possibly replaced as a SRP only ship ( no sale point - bargelike request to limit its population )
but that was rejected by other devs.
zoner caps stay as they are - no changes are being made to them.
another request was to remove the aquilon - and replace it with a superheavy constructor type ( think of a BB sized repair ship ) - it was suggested that the aquilon should stay - and instead the juggernaut should go ( i don t quite agree with that - but i also don t care enough which of both goes ) - feedback on that suggestion was too low to assess anything of it.
' Wrote:What about other capitals or BS. All will be restricted or else? If someone lost it bcs of the new rules will they get repaid?
I don't think they will be repaid. However, I'm sure that there will be a grace period during which owners of these ships will be able to sell off their ships to those still allowed to use them, or they will have time to scrap the ship (sell it to NPC dealer for credits or another ship.)
I'm not an Admin, though, that's just what I've heard.
' Wrote:Atlas: Goes to the CR. All existing ones become the new IMG transport (Nanga Parbat, 2200 cargo)
A 2200-cargo transport would be nearly worthless to the IMG compared to the Atlas, I think, unless it's some kind of mini-battletransport.
It certainly wouldn't be a good replacement for the Atlas, which is a nice large transport. Also, with existing Atlases losing half their cargo space, are there concerns about people getting slapped with "cheating detected" when their cargo hold is suddenly halved?

From what I can think of, no. Even, if it wuold be so, the people affected will propalby get unbanned asap.

If I had my way about it, the Jinkusu would not be openly sold BUT would be granted AFTER a player gets faction permission to buy it, thus making it something the Admins would have to grant. It might cut down on some of the renegade Zoner pilots who buy them and can't RP them properly.

So you're suggesting the Jugganaught be made white-cell to the Zoners? :D
' Wrote:The Spyglass Battleship is going back to being restricted to the Hellfire Legion (I'm not sure if the Vagrant Raiders get to keep their Spyglass or not.)
Edit: PS: If you have an indie Lane Hacker Spyglass, your chances of keeping it are somewhere between zero and impossible. Just saying.
Yea, any indie spyglasses are going to be sliced, diced and sent back to the HF courtesy of the Admin team, with the exception of factions with SRPs for them(afaik only the NTF and VR have SRPs for spyglasses)
Not sure about the rog cruiser, it used to be SRP only, now open use. Wonder if it will go back to SRP only use due to SRPs (probably) going to be re-opened come 4.86
Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
