Deaths in Combat

[Zepphos]

I'll play the game which ever way the admins/Igiss decide. I have learnt one thing about Freelancer with cap ships, and that is that there will never be a balance. One class of ship will turn out to be superior for different things.

When I joined the server, Bombers were the 'must have' for pirating, due to manouverability and power. Now they have lost that. They turn like gunboats... so what happened? Every pirate and his dog ditched the bomber and bought a gunboat.

Then when these pirates entered house military systems, the military PC factions bought cruisers/destroyers to protect themselves. (I do see this as reasonable as the pirates often outnumber the lawfuls.)

And so on and so forth until everyone had a battleship to play with.

Now. Here is my prediction as to what will happen:

1 death rule for all, everyone will by the biggest ship they can possibly write into their RP (sometimes not) and we may aswell do away with fighters

3 death rule for all, see above. It's exactly the same situation, just prolonging the fight.

1 death rule with less B&B, the bombers will rule again and this discussion will be brought up again in another 2 months once we're fed up of all the taiidans/rheinland bombers running amock on the server.



I'll say again, I'll play in which ever way the admins/Igiss decide, because I can guarantee that it will go in one big circle until we're back in the same position
