Quote: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
This is from a few pages back but I have to say that this is probably the best solution to the problem, and that's coming from someone with all independent characters. Really, what are the downsides? Too much power to factions and not enough to independents? That's nonsense. This is an RP server and it defies all logic that most independents would be flying battleships and battlecruisers. The people in charge of the factions who would be flying these things have demonstrated their ability to RP well, and limiting these vessels to them makes perfect sense. If the community wished for it, it could even be implemented as a rule immdeiately. After all, power should have it's price in not only credits but in effort and participation as well.
