You guys should take a step back. Especailly you, RParade, you got plenty others to shout at rather than those that try to RP and do a pretty good job. And RP can be done in any way the author wants it. It is not for you to decide what his RP does. Some follow a set line, others are more free flowing, and some are done ingame. But at no time are you, my friend, in a position to dictate to others how they can and can't do things around here.
The problem in Liberty is the same if not slightly less than the problem in Omicron Gamma. None of the independant caps in Gamma, bar one or two, are flown with any incling of skill, and the loadouts most use are very dire indeed. But this doesn't change the fact that, in Gamma, there is almost always an independant cruiser, and 3-6 independant cruisers or gunboats at peak times.
Its Liberty, Corsairs and Bounty Hunters who have this main problem. And the correlation is this exactly. Both the BHG and the Libertonians have Battlecruisers, which are the Cruisers that aren't completely vulnerable to everything. The Corsairs, on the other hand, are just very popular, as they are most commonly associated with the generic Pirate, and therefore easiest to get used to.
