Go take your anti-independent attitude into your own independent-bashing thread. (Or one of Sindroms.)

It's more about balance of Lib... and all other BC.
Why is it beloved ships class and overused? Well, it's the "largests-strongest" thing right after battleship class, yet price is rather nice. Who has the opinion (faction-wise) to get BC or Cruiser... usually goes for BC. Logically.

You will find that he is not asking them to rule over anyone. Nor is he asking for them to have absolute control. He is not anti-indie, he is anti-idiot. There is a considerable difference between asking for a faction to be able to regulate the Capital Ships, thus reducing the number of those which end up in the hands of complete morons, and giving them complete control of everything that comes out of their Shipyards. Poor wording on his part.
Nooblet, you once said it was a violation of Freedom or some such. That's in the case of extremism, absolute freedom. Absolute freedom may seem like a good concept, you can shoot up on drugs without fear of the 'fuzz', you can have as many wives as you want, drive as fast as you want, yadda, yadda, yadda, but when somebody's 'popping a cap in yo' ass' and you suddenly realise he's going to get away with it because there's no laws to say he's doing something wrong, how are you going to feel then? Because until there's -some- kind of restriction put into place, that's exactly the same as the indies. They answer to nobody, and can effectively shoot whoever and whatever they want, provided they give a simple one line of text.
As to the Battlecruiser being 'strongest', Siege Cruisers tend to hurt them a lot more for their size. They have a forward gun and high strafing for something relatively large. If indies are choosing the Battlecruiser because of its size, then I guess that just enforces the point that some 'Indies are idiots'.
Edit - On re-reading my post, not all of it is entirely relevant, but I felt it necessary to say something against the 'anti-faction' people around here.
Edit 2 - Reworded a statement, covering my arse. You vultures will take everything word-for-word if it suits you.
