Quote: So, the roleplay of these Zoner factions relies so very much on capital ships that have no logical reason to exist that your entire roleplay background would become null and void should these ships cease to have capital-class weapons and armor?
This sums up the argument nicely, imo.
I'll try to put myself in the same sort of situation, so to speak.
Let's say the devs decided that Gateway Shipping, for whatever reason, no longer should have access to 5k transports.
Would this suck? Yes. Would this affect our ability to ship and transport goods? Yes. Would this affect our RP? A bit...as we'd have to be more careful about what kind of jobs we take. Would this completely ruin the year of work we've put into the faction and make it pointless for Gateway to even exist? NO! Not at all. We would adapt...and use different ships to suit our RP. Simple as that.
And those Zoner players keep complaining that they're going to be somehow helpless without a BS...you seem to keep forgetting that you DO have other warships, including 2 of the best Gunboats in the game, and a new light bomber by the sound of it.
So you know what happens when that oh so horrible Corsair BS or Marduk shows up? You break out the GBs and bombers and kill it. Easy as that. I'm sorry if you somehow will miss the satisfaction of just riding high on your Nephilim and laughing at the puny others who would dare to challenge you.
