You have to get rid of the problem, not simply move it around. Ban all outcast capital ships from entering NY for starters, they don't need a Dessie to protect cardamine routes, and the Liberty Rogues DO NOT NEED OC dessies or cruisers of any kind. You can't even pirate in them. And then remove the Navy guards' ability to attack pirates except in self defense, or in defense of an LPI vessel. The navy are supposed to protect borders, not police systems.
Those are my ideas, at least.
Agreed on all counts Nighthawk. Very well put.
No matter what you do people are going to find another way to "abuse the system". Tell them to stop whoring around in Liberty, they'll move to the border systems and wait for people to come through and Capwhore. In my honest opinion, Battleships could only be used by police/military factions, maybe Outcasts because of their amount of wealth from the Cardamine trade, and even then they should only be used in DRASTIC situations to the point of where there is a disasterous attack incoming from an unknown enemy.
Rogues should not even have ACCESS to Capships. No, they're the "dogs" of the criminal side of the law, and there's no way any OC trusts a "dog" with a multi-million piece of machinery such as an OC Destroyer.
Xenos? They're poor for crying out loud and pissed off about it! Why would they have anything over a Gunboat?! And they hate everyone!!
Cap whoring really does have to stop, but there's nothing you can really do about it. It's going to happen, and the only REAL way to do away with it is to completely remove them, or, as someone else said, restrict BS's to OFFICAL factions only. No register, none of that. ONLY offical factions. People may QQ (complain), but that's life. If they're only here to capwhore everywhere, then maybe they shouldn't be here.

P.S. I don't see what the big deal with Capships are anyway. They're big, bulky, and slow. Get a couple skilled bombers on it and it's toast. I, personally, will NEVER own one.
