I'm kind of glad I'm not going to be here for most of this month. It's not like people are already complaining about there being too many caps and not wanting to do stuff as a result. And now something to encourage more?
Which is, of course, just going to lead to more of the powertrading people complain about since they need more caps on both sides. On the plus side for powertraders, the fact that those BS pirates can kill regardless of equipment means that using freighter shields and no guns makes no real difference.
I've played on Disco for a long while and I can't see anything other than bitchfests and capspam coming out of this. The only solutions I can see is actually doing something about transports or restricting caps to official factions. And we know how THOSE discussions go.
That said, can we make up our minds whether "space is dangerous" or whether things are done "for balance"? Right now it really seems Disco can't make up its mind.
