I would like to introduce a new facet into this conversation.
A while back, there was no such thing as "capwhoring." This was because people would respond to Cap attacks with Capships.
Personally, I think that the best solution would be to counter capships with capships, because people are NOT going to be persuaded that use bombers because their capships get owned by bombers.
Frankly, I think that we should do this.
Make Capships, stand alone, should cost 1 Billion credits or more. Currently, I think that the disco capships are too cheap. The Nimitz Class supercarrier, which is a fraction of the size of some disco warships costs 4.5 BILLION USD to build.
Raising the price of Capships will prevent capwhoring. Trust me.
In addition, making the standalone price around 1 Billion credits will require MANY more trade runs before the ship is completed. Thus, giving the capship building process a sense of realism.

Attempting to force independents to join factions in order to get to their RP-necessary ship is, to be blunt (that's all I can manage, bear with me), silly. Perhaps having to apply for a "heavy" would work, but still.
Harley is right. This game is called FREELANCER, not FACTIONLANCER.
