@Kuraine's post: The problem is, though, that people will ALWAYS find a way around a in game difficulty like rep. In the end, people may take a few days longer to get their caps, but then what? They'll have the ships, and things will be just as bad as they are now. Nothing short of an actual rule will ever stop people from buying something in FL.

As for just running away from caps, it doesn't work. Caps in discovery are just as fast as any other ship in the game.
Case in point: Yesterday, I was chased in a fighter for 45 minutes by a Battlecruiser, followed by a gunboat. In RP terms, caps simply shouldn't be as fast as fighters, and shouldn't be able to keep up. But they are, and they can. So running away, as much as it should be, isn't the solution
