' Wrote:Your parody of anti-cap bias is ridiculous. Wanting capital ships earned is not equivalent to wanting them gone.
The crux of my argument is that trading and mining should be treated as worthwhile persuits for their own right, and NOT, as so many people treat them, as a means to getting credits for other persuits.
My clan, for example, has billions of credits stored, a home system, battleship, and over 50 historical members, each with at least 2 fully equipped personal ships. The vast majority of this was achieved by fun trading, smuggling and piracy. We worked together, had events, ran convoys, and in the process not only made a fortune, but had hundreds of hours of worthwhile and entertaining encounters with other players.
We pirated, not because we needed money, but because we were Corsairs who liked to pirate.
We smuggled, not because we needed money, but because we were Corsairs who liked to smuggle. etc.
My point is that if people recognised the RP fun that could be had with these activities, rather than using them as a means to get cash for other things, they'd quickly find themselves not "slaving away" but enjoying the process, and reaching their goals allot faster and more easily.
Maybe you're not getting what we're saying, Carlos. We'd like to make some money while we RP. That is the point of a trader's RP, isn't it? Making money, I mean. Unless I missed something somewhere.
