Quote:Equality vs. Freedom. Equality isn't a virtue. Besides, we aren't all equal; you'd never say that if you knew anything about balance. And we won't all be equal, ever, until the day we're all flying Civilian-ID'd Starfliers with no guns and aren't allowed to talk or move, just sit still in space above Manhattan. We must all be sitting in the exact same spot, and we can't look at different things; we must always look at the same thing. That's equality. Sounds fun, right?

Equality is everyone having equal access to everything they're entitled to. Seeing how this is a game, that means everything. You can have everything, but it comes at a price. -people- abuse freedom and therefore it must be limited.
Quote:Oooh, yeah, how dare we try to be special? I forgot we're all playing NPCs here. How about we go ahead and dictate what the ship and loadout of every member of every faction must be, remove all non-faction IDs, and create a character creation system where all characters must be based on a set admin-designed template with some slight allowably modifications. I can see it now:
Nothing is dictated. PvP advantages as a result of RPing weapons normally not availible to you is being taken away.
