-You can't judge people for flying Battleships. Why?
Well, there are actually some people who fly nothing but capital ships.
You have one guy in Outcast official faction(s) as well.
Now, is he a capital ship whore? I don't think so. He's a battleship captain.
Just like Warhammer was (example).
-My last statement was there just to say that one man can't possibly be a capital ship whore. One group maybe, but one single character can't.
-Now, ever asked yourself why are there so many independents?
Because they enjoy flying something that is forbidden in official factions.
Every single one of them wants to be a Battleship captain.
And they are no different then Eppy or Whammer, why would they be attacked for such a thing?
Only because they don't have a faction to stay behind it? I don't think so.
-Now, when one group of people decides to buy nothing but capital ships, only to pwn all around, that is capital ship whoring.
As Jinx said, Battleships are irrelevant to Fighter combats.
I once had a battle in Alpha, 6 vipers versus 3 Battleships, 3 Gunboats and 3-4 fighters/bombers.
Battleships did absolutely nothing to stop us.
It was impossible to kill them, yes (even with 6 vipers, because gunboats and fighters were doing a good job in damaging us), but it was very possible to just ignore them.
We lost in the end (expected), but we took all gunboats with us.
My point is. One man can't be called a capship whore.
Group of men can be called cap ship whores.
Bounty Hunter Battleships, BC's and Destroyers belong in Omicrons only.
It is very OORP to see BHG Battleships fulfilling some funny contracts, chasing an LF trough Sirius.
If they are, however, doing a good job, and above all, good RP, in their battleships (like Jinx in her's) then there should be no problems.
Pirates attacking House main planets with a fleet of Capital ships is nonsense.
They would be obliterated in RP.
That's why it makes much more sense for lawful independents to fly capital ships, then unlawfuls.
And what you said is actually pretty much insulting.
Battleships are an important part of RP in this game.
If they were not, they would not exist.
At least i'm not biased, i fly nothing but fighters/bombers. Not even a gunboat.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.
