Super Long Megapost First post working version.

This discussion is pointless. I'd suggest everyone takes a step back for a few days and we speak end of the week about this again.

Can't lock the thread though. Why? I definitely should be allowed to. Lets make a poll.

All these Zoner threads are nothing but pointless child Q.Q. God forbid the new people coming to this website in the past few days, and just seeing BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW splashed over the forums.

This has to stop. The Dev judgment is one backed by the people who have also been affected by Zoner cap users. I myself would like to see Zoner caps be SRP'd, however I am find with Jinx's solution.
And over the past few days there's been some notable quotes, I think this may be one of the best so far:

I would repeat what I said earlier....if a Zoner group's RP is so fragile that losing a BS makes their existence worthless....is such a group even worth having around?

It's not that we couldn't RP without battleships. OSI doesn't have battleships. The problem is a ripple effect.

We have to retcon completely out of existance everything to do with those ships or rewrite it from the ground up. I wrote 20,000 words and I would not even touch that project with a million foot pole. So it would be erased.

So if you erase a piece of RP that has a battleship in it. Then you erase the pieces that refer to that or are involved in that, and ten you erase the connected ones to that suddenly you have very little RP at all.

See the problem?

If anything, anything even resembling a zoner "military" should be something close to what the GMG has.

I agree that there is no Zoner military. But the GMG inRP destroyed a huge chunk of the Rheinland military utterly.

Well heck, then while we're at it, I want my own extensive capship line for Gateway Shipping, because that would be fun for me and mine, wouldn't it? While we're at it, let's get special caps for GMG, Gaians, Cryer, etc...

Let's bring it into perspective.

You as Gateway are going to have every transport you use turned into gunboats. This is to bring you more into line with "Insert thing here" now resolve that with your roleplay. Also your transports never existed.

That's what we are dealing with here.

Ruin their RP, thus ruin their fun and Zoner activity in general.

As said before, if the Zoners need battleships to have fun and be active, then I'd say that there is a much different, much bigger problem with the Zoner gameplay in general.

Furthermore, think about the following: If losing the ship is so devastating to your RP, and the ship itself has such a crucial role in it - aswell as the background and origin of it thought through - then you can SRP the Nephilim.

I slowly start to get the feeling that certain people here complain that they suddenly have to put effort for their Nephilim to acquire it and maintain it instead of powertrading billions and buying it from the shipyard.

If the RP of some nephilim-owners here is half as good as they claim it to be, then getting the Nephilim through an SRP should be one of the easiest tasks for you.

There are two leviathans. Erasing all of our ships and then forcing us to get them back in the roulette wheel of SRP? Not very appealing.
