Why not write a novel on the ID

No. No way.

See, now that Cam has voiced himself, I'm tempted to say yes.

not that i would have any hidden agenda concerning this ship anymore, but if you want to make the the zoner juggy SRP only, make all battleships SRP only, or faction only.
Why just the zoner one? Btw why is every code dealer buying that ship? What's so special?

Vote for NO.

since this is a RP server ( or at least as much RP as players wanne RP it ) - and not a pvp server... we should not review ships by their stats or class - but rather by their lore.
a zoner juggernaut is not equal to a liberty dreadnought or an outcast battleship. as a matter of fact, all those ships have a very different lore about them - even if their stats might be similar or their size or look - they are as different from one another as peaches are from apples.
off of those that pilot a zoner juggernaut, i am unsure how many actually know the lore about the ship - how many of those really wish to RP it that way ( or ... for that matter... "not" roleplay it, cause the ship hardly ever comes into the open space )
the question about the lore and how players roleplay it is the basic question about roleplay in general. - the best roleplay of a secret operative is not to be seen. - the best roleplay of a "myth" is not to be noticed and have rumor do the roleplay "for you".
is it a beneficial thing to roleplay a myth then? - it certainly is canon to hide in a nebula, never to be seen ... but its also horribly boring - and... as a result ... doesn t contribute anything to the server enviroment.
personally - i DO support special RP of a juggernaut. - but not in a way that its too hard to get one. - special RP in terms of understanding the underlying lore about the juggernaut. i d like people to know why exactly the juggernaut is such a menace for others - even if it has never officially seen any combat. - i d like people to know how the zoners facilitate this myth, how they work on it - use it as a weapon - a weapon that is much stronger than the juggernaut actually is.
when people understand the lore ( really understand it ) - they should be free to use it.
why can t that be applied to all other battleships? - cause other battleships have a different lore about them.. easy as that.
edit:
to review that request from another PoV:
if it had been so hard to aquire ships when i started playing disco - i would have given up shortly after. - "discovering" ones role, exploring and trying out ships without running into hostilities was what made the mod attractive to me in the first place. - when i got my first battleship - i cared little about its lore, i just got it - and had some fun with it... and it took me over a month to figure out what i really wanted.
most of the time, i ran into helpful people - and only very few that would patronize me about what ships i "ought" to use etc. - but i m not sure if such leeway applies to todays server still.

' Wrote:not that i would have any hidden agenda concerning this ship anymore, but if you want to make the the zoner juggy SRP only, make all battleships SRP only, or faction only.Hum... interesting question.

I think that has been thrown around already.
Would it be possible to add something between free-to-buy and SRP?
I.e. something like the tech permission thread where an official faction would give a go-ahead?
Anyway... it is a difficult thing with the Juggernaut, especially as it's a myth... and as Jinx said, remaining unseen all the time is boring.

I do think that it should be limited to certain areas, A battleship shouldn't be in Liberty or other houses without permission which requires RP so I think it should be restricted to certain areas pending permission by House Military.

All battleships are restricted to their respective faction ZoI, as far as I'm concerned, which is why I don't see the login in a Zoner Juggernaut camping Fort Bush/Crete/Malta selling codes.
WTF is that?!
what im saying: I had a Fearless a while ago, in my lolwut times - I popped up in leeds and i had 4 BAF on me shouting something about the queen no approving Zoner capital vessels in Bretonia. And that was a dessie. How the heck is a Juggernaut an exception to this? merely by ramming itself into a planet it could cause some serious damage. ZoI or a cargo strip please.

Juggernauts shouldn't move through house space without lots of planning and compromise with the houses...
And please, for the sake of how bad Cam fails with his Jugger, do something about it.
Novel ID sounds good.
