but in return they do get increased attention from house lawfuls too.

Proof or it didn`t happen.

There is NO problem that can`t be solved by the use of high explosives.

[Mímir]

What route?

I listed a couple of alternatives above for you, siR. Calm down and take a deep breath, and read the stuff carefully. It's not going to be the end of the world, and millions and billions will be made just like before - now perhaps with a few added elements of challenge but really, come on.

Not every convoy has enough ships to justify taking along an LF scout AND at least a bomber against caps AND at least a VHF against bombers.

Space is dangerous ™

Except for pirates in their hundreds of inRP battleships.

Ah, the good ol' power pirate's go to.


Allow me to point out the flaw in this logic.



Disco = game =/= real life. Game = supposed to be fun =/= one side completely and utterly has the advantage over the other side = one of the sides doesn't have much fun = they stop playing that side = an important part of the game gone.






EDIT: In other words, there's an essential thing that all games need, and that's balance, and this change drastically throws off the balance.

If you get pirated by a battleship, you deserve it seeing that they dont have a CD.

Battleship can practically instakill a transport - why bother with CDs?

A battleship can blow a transport up in 2 seconds, hardly enough time to even try to get away.

Powermercs if we'll be more accurate.

Mercs don't have cruisers and battleships, and also can't pirate, and aren't pirates.:smile2:

[Mímir]

Have you tried pirating? The "burden of RP" is on the pirate, having to make a claim and give a reasonable window of time for the trader to reply. Those are the rules. Also for Battleships.

You wouldn't have time to do that without a CD.

I mean seriously, relax people and think for 2 seconds.
