*ahem*
I've a suggestion I have thought for a while would be a good solution to help cut down on the capital ships, and that is to require people to register it IN RP on the forums before they buy it. I don't mean a simple post, I mean having a group of people in charge of this, and if you want a battleship, then submit the RP for owning it, to someone in the group. Maybe even do this for battlecruisers, because, every time I go into Rheinland anymore, I see at least 2 different BH BC's outside NB...
ADDITION: This "group" could include the Admins, official faction leaders, and other people who are deemed unbiased enough to handle RP of any faction.
If this happen's it will no longer resemble any part of "FREELANCER". I will quit plain and simple, and so will many other's when they are told what to, and not to fly.
To say i am P.O. right now would be an under statement. I am getting sooo sick of everyone telling everyone else what they can, and cannot fly. How they "should" RP. This is becoming a ploice state, not a game. Bloody hell. Play the game or do not. DO NOT keep trying to control it, and everyone else in it.

That would really show how people really felt.
(no--I'm not actually proposing we do this)
well lets certainly hope you aren't...

Most of the people doing that as far as i can see are mad at independents tarnishing there faction image or using a capital ship.. and so on

All this stuff... Are capital ships even worth the hassle, when we factor in everything? If we take them out of Discovery, BAM, no more problem. Except for all the people who like capital ships, or have paid a lot for a few.
Seriously people, the current system isn't perfect or great, but it works.

Don't know what to say really. Good intentions.
I hope that there are unbiased people.

A vote is a bad idea, it's as prone to bias as the admins are, perhaps more so, and several people have multiple forum logins and wield more than their rightful weight in a vote.
If there is a metric outside of the rules (and I don't think there should be) it should be well qualified and quantified so that no bias can be brought to bear.
However, the number of cap ships isn't a problem, and if someone isn't rping in one on the server then report them.

you remove them themmod will probly die major factions and majrmfaction militarys have fleets of major ships and in cpace you cant control everything if this was on land or at sea then i could see battleships and battlecruisers being faction only

I predict you remove cap ships you will remove many players. SP is just fine for my fighter fix. Or Wing Commander, or Freespace, or Privater, This game and another nearly unknown game named Battleship Millinium gold, are the only places where one can play at controling a cap ship with out haveing to play a RTS or Star Trek.
We need to realize that............Wait I know this will be thought of a blasphemy but, disco is not so huge because everyone just loves to RP. This is evident but the numbers of people who come here not knowing what RP is.
Disco is huge because we have fairly active Admin when compaired to other free servers, which keeps real adaptable gamers around, the veriety and server numbers that attracts people here in the first place.
Not the rules.
At least in my case what brought me to Disco was loveing Freelance and about to retire the game when my buddy said he found a server online where there wasn't to many dumb rules and you could even fly Capital ships and transports.
Dumb rules example, one server disallowed the use of Bots/bats in PVP=me takeing a hike. Forgot its name now. I just know missles were spammed and bots and bats disallowed. No thanks please. Dont fix it its not broken.
I not sure what problem folks are haveing with Capships I see no problem, even when I have 3 BHG battle ships camping my base. I just see a challenge and a honor that that much power had to be brought to bare to cope with me.
Its a game lets keep it fun.

Oh do be quiet Akuma. I believe that admins showing bias should slap themselves and resign. I'm not saying they're perfect, but I think we know what you meant by that. No bias was shown, whether you believe it or not.
