... should only be used in appropriate engagements.
This is to say: A player should not roam freely about Sirius in a battleship, or even a cruiser. That doesn't *work* in RP. But, a player should be able to sign off of a fighter account, for instance, and sign into a battleship account should a fight escalate or the fighter fleet become outclassed - equivalent to calling in reinforcements, as long as you enter the fight swiftly.
Anyways, I've been seeing alot of battleships just on their own, and I was thinking, where is the RP in that? I tried to have some RP fun with them, but most of the players who do this don't even care about RP. And there's no punishment for that.

That's right, in true RP a one man fighter with torpedos
could just hit the weak spot and destroy battleship in one hit..
That's why battleships should have few fighter wings and few cruisers escorting
it..
But the restriction about cruiser.. I am not sure about that.. Cruiser is
a lot faster than battleship..
And I would shoot on sight all of those r0flc0ptors and uberpwnz0rs flying
a Juggernaut.. :angry2:

You don't know how much I would love to bring out all LSF bomber pilots and kill every single Cruiser and Battleship in NY one by one. Just to get rid of all those BHG cap whorrers!
And yes, Flying alone outside factions territory with a BS isn't RP. Using lawful faction ships as a Merc isn't RP either. Going in a faction Territory as a BHG cap ships isn't a good thing too, ETC. ETC. ETC. ETC.

I'd agree.
But, in my rp I am technically a whole battlegroup even though I am alone... and I am an independent. My ship basically serves as the headquarter of some thousand of soldiers and 3 fighter squad ~ if only we could have npc wingmen... *sigh*

more like, if kajicon want to live, dont read his post, but err...
I know it is feasible. you can actually buy wingmen in some mod. The problem is, I think it would cause lag.

You say NPC wingmen are possible? Pray explain this! I want nothing more than to fly around NY with a wing of Patriots and Liberators from the LPI Guard!
