BH ID should not get you a BB. DE and below only I think.
Went to NY the other night and saw a BH Capwhore fleet. It was a wonder to behold. 5 or 6 of them on, only one in a bomber. Rest were in Destroyers, or larger.
I know of no military faction with comparable firepower. Its just retarded.
Does "Dog the Bounty Hunter" own the USS New Jersey? No.
IMHO:
In Short Term: Ask BH Factions/Clans to self restrict such that only 1 out of every 4 (or so) members in a BH Faction or Clan (my term for unofficial faction) on at any time are in DE or larger.
In Long Term : Change rules in next mod version, BH's restricted to DE and below. Give the larger BH caps to some other npc MILITARY factions, don't care who.
Even implement the DE or below rule NOW.
Its insane. For instance, even fighting as RM, we had an even fight going, me and Gronath in Bombers against an enemy GB, and a BH BC shows up and "helps" us. Yay. Fun. Enemy was dead in 5 seconds after numbnuts showed up.
Stop it now, Admins. PLEASE.
I totally agree with you.
I do not remember the last time ive seen a Bounty hunter in anything smaller than a gunboat and i see alot of BH's.
Theres a real problem when a bunch of independent Bounty Hunters can rally a fleet twice the size of one of the houses whenever they feel like it.
Ever since the Merc ID got changed to allow nothing above gunboat those "people" who like to cap whore just switched to a BH ID.
