The "Seriousness" level of RP these days

[Cashew]

I watched one of Spazzy's videos yesterday and he actually raised an excellent point. When new players are un docking from Planet Erie for the first time they see a Battleship. Now as he said in the video, the new player will look at the Battleship and think. "I want one of those". They will go out of their way to get the money not even knowing what RP is. They will think. 'Big guns, big ship, I'm the winner' now.. You can do various things to stop this because as for me I've seen countless new people flying Corsair Legates etc. They shoot you on site.. It's annoying since there is no RP and the fact that they were able to get their hands on the ship.

Maybe a few opinions on this?

I thought up some small points how to help resolve this:

1. Move the Battleship from Erie orbit.
2. (This one is more extreme) Only allow Official factions to have Battleships/Cruisers. This will also hit hard on the people that RP without being in a faction so I'd probably rule it out.
3. Well.. Im not sure, feedback?


This is my opinion I hope I haven't offended any views.
