Wacky Idea (warning: opinions contained within)

[Knjaz]

Although, to be honest, a 24-hour downtime will reduce capspam but not by a giant margin. After all, you can have multiple caps if you really want to and being able to, say, use seven different caps every 24 hours would be pretty.. spammy.

Something that would be very, very easy for people like me, when 80-90% of your ships on 5.5 accounts are capitals, + 2 miners, trader and 1-2 miscellaneous ships.

I'd go with severe on-death repair penalties, instead. Talking about 30-60 millions per death, here, depending battleship types and their combat efficiency. It'd also force people to grind some cash and will improve server's economy, which will lead to more activity in the lawful >> pirate >> trader food chains, in theory. (//originally proposed by JinX for all ship types a 1.5 or few years ago, if I'm not mistaken).


But, then again - we only have several real hotspots in Sirius, so to be spammy you'd need to have multiple capital ships of same faction. Something not many people have and would go for.

P.S. Also, to OP - your idea is not "wacky". Something like that, in different forms, was being proposed by various players for a loooooooong time.
It's a good sign that this time it finally drew some attention, though
