About Capships in Kusari

[Allocutus]

I think Mjolnir's criticism (which I disagree with) is that Blood Dragons are terrorizing Kusari with a bit too much firepower for the task at hand. Overkill, if you will.

I agree that it does look like overkill and that, maybe, small wings of fighters would be better for Blood Dragons, however I am of the opinion that big attacks on KNF NPCs like this will force KNF to get more players and become more active which the server needs.

Basically, if the KNF aren't prepared to defend their home, don't blame their enemies.

I'll agree completely. As we have observed, the only reason the NovaPG/Bushido continuum acquired Class Ten Capital Ships was to combat the BSG, who are equipped with some of the best capital ships for combat in the NovaPG's home territory, namely, asteroids, and with seven of them at last count it would take quite a herd of unavailable bombers to neutralize them all...indeed, during our tenure in Kusari we have seen many large incursions of four Battlestars at a time. Large-scale attacks might indeed be a very effective recruiting effort...when we first began playing on this server we were pirated by the old NovaPG and, to say the least, were angry enough by the sheer futility of our escape attempts (One thing we are prided on is our ability to fly our Luxury Liner), annoyed enough to have our best pilots enlist in the KNF, then in the beginning of the venerable Madam DeLuna's regime. We shall say this: blaming capital ships for the KNF's difficulties is utter bull. The obsession with battleships is, at this point, sheer overkill, and the real problem is with players being poor sports. We are confronted with several of our good friends having near nervous breakdowns because this mania is forcing them to scrap characters they have played for so long that they have become almost as attached to those ships as they are to their spouses, pets, children; Epyon had an interesting (and fairly passionate) treatise on this very subject in the Version Announcement thread. Anti-Battleship crusades are quickly becoming counterproductive. This seems to be another of those...I suggest we refrain from complaining any further; the next version's regulations seem to have eliminated that problem quite well.
