ADMIN NOTICE : OFFICIAL FACTION RIGHTS

[Jinx]

another nasty question: ( that was mentioned before somewhat )

"if the factions judge over who deserves a battleship and who does not deserve a battleship. - can i rebalance them to what the "ought" to be?"

now - if you say "no, you cannot" - i d of course ask about the reasons. - if we trust the judgement, we ensure that battleships are not abused ( what a wonderfully subjective term that is, isn t it? ) - so we can make them the ultimate fighting machines, cause those that use them are responsible - aren t they? - so i d question the judgement after all...

i know - not a fair question...


another sidenote.

i remember there was a video of another mod ( can t remember - crossfire? or somethign else ) - where a fighter ship was flying through a LARGE battle between dozens of dreadnoughts that were all firing at each other. - missile trails, plasma and explosions everywhere. - flak shels and shaking screens.

everyone was totally in awe. - now thats what a large fleet battle is like. - its amazing, isn t it? - too bad we don t allow that thing on disco.

we have a habit to "bid ourselves down" when it comes to large ships. - i still read in faction creations that its appreciated to say "but we only have ONE battleship" - another faction says "ha, ... WE only have one cruiser!" ( which sometimes implies - we can do better ... )

i hardly see any faction ( not even those that actually "should" have a real fleet ) to say "well, tough luck you buggers... WE have 20 battleships, eat that!" ( 20 battleships does not mean bad roleplay btw. - bad roleplay means bad roleplay )


large ships become more and more balanced - the more large ships are involved in a combat. - when 20 battleships fight 20 other battleships. - fighters and bombers will have a much easier time, cause you can be sure that they will concentrate their fire on other battleships - hence, we get the situation where a fighter can actually cross the amazing battlefield where cap fire at capships - and the bomber can do what its meant to do.... add in the one amazing dps advantage its meant to be while being mostly untouchable cause its just easier to target and destroy another battleship.

ahh - that didn t really contribute much to the ongoing discussion - but i think i made my points clear about it some posts ago anyway.

edit:

btw. awesome thing - the rheinland / liberty event with everyone that wishes to come - to join.
cause when i saw some event like "rheinland invades liberty" .... and i see a setup like:
- 1 battleship
- 4 bombers
- 10 fighters

i couldn t help but laugh. - that is "rheinland that invades liberty? - like serious much?" - thats not even enough for a recon force. -- and that shows that we have all different ideas of convincable roleplay and enviroment. - for me, a real WAR is something where things are just large scale. - large fleets, large ships, large numbers. - if its not large, we can forget "war" and call it "diplomatic dispute".
