Capital Ships and the Future of Discovery RP 24/7

[Thyrzul]

Is there one official Zoner faction that controls all others? If yes, then they SHOULD have the final word on their RP, and the right to shoot Independent Zoners if they do not comply, right?

Currently Phoenix is the official faction using the Zoner ID. Not sure why didn't they act as I think they should have acted in the first place.

Okay, so why not get rid of the Redemption altogether as a purchasable ship? Does that solve the problem?

I wish it could, with only the pre-estabilished ones remaining.

Well, going with my previous post, I thought that Official factions were allowed to force their RP on Indies, and attack those who do not comply, yes? Or at least report them with evidence to get them sanctioned? So, I would wonder if the case is that the LPI really cannot do anything, or they are just too lazy to do anything?

Official factions got only 4.7 for that and even that can't do anything. The problem is that indies got too much freedom compared to how few tools officials have to "control" or at least guide them. The subject been brought up on several occasions already over skype, and it is time to dedicate a thread to it. Once I'm done with my exams, I'll try something.

To hear a lot of the "old-timers" whine about it, this is what they say is going on already...so at the very least you're going to make it take longer for the lolwuts to get their Caps than normal. Otherwise, business as usual?

Ten days or twelve, where the hell does it matter now? We don't want more powertrading, we want to render quality roleplay to caps.

On a side note, as someone who does pirate, I can tell you that I think ALL traders need to give pirates a little leeway when they're pirating and not expect some HUGE RP experience, because pirates often get the short end of the stick when they try to RP with folks, who are usually only trying to A) talk the pirate down from his demand to maximize their own profit, or B) buy time for reinforcements to arrive and chase the pirate off or kill him. I'm not going to fault a pirate for being curt when he's the one in more danger of being blasted with every second in hostile space. That's part of the FUN of the interaction and the thrill of being a pirate.

Neither I meant novels or a tea party, but lack of RP applies to lolwuts on both sides. We have the silent runner as well as our beloved "2milordie" too. That is also not a new issue. Giving more reason to powertrade won't help it.
