Right, so.. When you die and that ship explodes, how is it replaced?
You just build another one from wreckage? How does a Butler rebuild a Destroyer from scratch? Not even the Junkers are that canny. Christ, that even puts the Unioners to shame..
I realize some players probably put alot of time into finding ways to get that ship they like, but honestly.. Exceptions become expectations, and when one player sees another doing it they expect to be given the same luxury. This is why I don't think you should be flying a Kusari Destroyer (or any other House ship) unless you're part of that House. It only encourages everyone else to do it, and then when they're told they can't or shouldn't they get upset and angsty.
There's also nothing wrong with flying capitol ships as an independent (just so long as you're using the proper House ID to go with that ship), but as it stands currently you have Zoners flying Liberty ships and all kinds of other junk that could never, and will never make any sense.
