DW, USS, Independent Lawfuls

[pchwang]

We all know capship whores are 'compensating' for being small in 'other areas'.

Although I only have bare minimal medical experience as a lifeguard and a paramedic, I concur.

It's very annoying, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Personally, I think that if we made it a rule to announce combat, it would bring a little more RP into the situation, for instance, allow the assasin to get a head start in running.

Before this gets attacked for lack of realism, imagine this...

You're a Corsair going around a system, shooting up depots to fix your rep. You see two independent fighters nearby, but they aren't doing much except looking at you, so you keep doing your thing...

All of a sudden, they start shooting at you. You scan them and realize that they are BPA.

People, this is a RP server. NOT a PvP server.

Assasinating some is very RP. PMing all your friends who are in a different system to come help you is NOT.

Space communication probably is not even capable of sending inter-system messages...

It could be a little radical, but how about restricting battleships and cruisers to official factions, where their usage can be limited by the "Gods" aka admins / "ones blessed with the Common Sense" aka faction leaders

Why is this radical?

Not radical at all.

Ah Greeting Gents, Ima goive my two cents on this topic


But I fly a Cruiser because I feel flying a fighter though Nomad territory isnt so safe with my fighter skills and with almost every single Border worlds exploring bounty hunter flying a cap ship so might as well counter capships with capships and jump on the bandwagon.:)
But I fly my capship only if a fellow Order char needs help with there rep/ID, exploring or if Bounty Hunters try to disrupt the peace in the Omicron Delta and Minor.

But I have an RP behind my vessal. Not quite sure about the independents out there though with there RPs.
If your flying a capship very least have a good RP behind it. After all this is a RP server
Thats my two cents

meh...
I have nothing really against house ID people who have capships. (I myself have one. I am a poor cap pilot, I admit it freely, I use it mainly because I love pwn some npc from time to time with great ease)
I have a big time understanding how bounty hunters possibly got their hand on building capships...
Especially independents.

Limiting capships(cruisers and bigger) isn't a bad idea. I will encourage people to use fighters/GB, and/or to join factions, learn to RP and then with time get the permission to buy a capship.

Maybe a cruiser license could work too btw. but don't sell it 250 millions....

And If I see a BHG hanging around with Liberty military technology( cruiser and bigger), he will have to deal with me.

I think that my idea about a 24 hour engagement limit for any capship would but a nice stop to the capwhoring.

But as some people validly pointed out, it's very inconvienient and hard to enforce.

Alright, I have opinion on the BH spam of capital ships. Here's what.

Considering
The Bounty Hunter Guild is mainly made out of very average people, a lot ex-criminals,

Considering
they are probably mostly working solo

then
They would probably be moderatly rich, only loosely united group of people. By considering they are mostly independent, and probably getting their job by some sort of BHG job board, the BHG "authority" probably receive a certain % of the profit made by the commisionned mission. Maybe even a mensual or annual fee for membership.

then
They shouldn't be able to have a lot of capital class vessels

Because
1. They are only moderatly rich
2. They are mostly independent people connected or divided with each other for oportunity
3. Meaning only few Bounty hunters can form a hunting band large enough to actually form a capital ship crew
4. Considering they are mainly fighter pilots, they would only be slightly qualified to fly and operate a capital ship

Then:
BHG cap ships, that is anything larger than a gunboat must, in obligation to have a capital ship
-write a rp for their ship, explaining how did they came with a crew that could operate such a ship, how were they united together, and how did they managed to convince BHG authority to build one/sell one to them.
-send it maybe to an admin to make him aprove it?
-admin gives him a liscence? or maybe allow the sale of one such liscence?

Maybe we should just have a general "capship" license instead of just a battleship one...

yep.
But I'm afraid something just monetary will not work.
We need something to enforce the rp of the thing, THAT way their number will seriously reduce.

Make it something like the terrorist ID. We can create a general capship ID for anything bigger than a GB that admin need to give approval for.
