[worldstrider]

I just have problems with any suggestion that contains the words "other players" "Tenacity" and "control".

in suggestions like these - the term "the others" or "other players" or "you know... those lolwut players" always appear.

you ll hardly ever hear - "lets not fly that ship anymore and i will make the first step and sell mine!"

Delightfully appropriate Jinx! I believe you have made your only half-armed opponents completely witless now;)

I am happy to see the last Keeper invasion went well, only one person was moved to bastille this time. :lol:

We warned the capital ships to stay back, and let the fighters DO THE JOB and COOPERATE TOGETHER. They took down most of the keepers when one of Keepers arrived with a gunboat. It is when that I asked permission to engage it, as it was eating through our forces. And as soon as that Gunboat was destroyed, I pulled back and let the fighters fighting other fighters.

We try to train our people, and it seems to pay off; the problem really isn't capwhoring, the problem was the lack of fighter. (And I'm sure everyone will agree on this.) Earlier today, we had the proof that fighters probably are the best thing to counter anything, and that capwhoring isn't always this great.

I mean a bunch of fighters can destroy even cruisers and battlecruisers.
Its good for teamwork to fly them and also you are much safer cause you are harder to hit than in a cap.
I have a Osiris as my only cap (was a long way to get it) and I really dont think that all players that have a cap are lolwuuters or that the caps should be under faction restriction.
I agree that we have to do something that we dont get to a capwhore faction (like BHG sorry but its true) but controling is the wrong way (rules are good but cant solve every problem) so we should try to show the others that caps arent the best things and should do more fighter/bomber events. For example BHG vs order event (ok we had never much caps there) I will go on my order fighter/bomber as much other people too. Caps just die to fast against a great number of enemys but agile fighters and bombers have a greater chance to stay alive.
If we would do this everytime (when enough members are online) then we could prevent capspamm cause they would relise that fighting caps with caps isnt the best way.
The RHA as example I have never fight a single RHA cruiser only fighters/bombers and they pwn. They can kill nearly everything and dont need cap support.
If we show the indys teamwork and show them that fighters/bombers can be much better than a cap I think then they would change there caps to fighters and bombers freely.

Well, if someone wants to compensate me the 600 million I've spent on the ship, I might consider it.

Though, tell me, how many players have put as much RP into their ship as I've put into the carrier? Hm?

Personal log files of the character, which towards the last dozen entries mention the construction of the ship, long before 4.85 ever released:

Most of the idiots around here cant even be bothered to type more than "engaging" before attacking someone, much less put an ounce of thought into how they actually got their ships, how many crew members they have, or what the ship's purpose is other than wtfpwning people.

That's the difference between players like myself, and the "other players" that are being mentioned in this thread.

Order ship capital spam? What has been happening in my inactivity? Swiss & Ten! What have you done?!

Anyway, I can rant on about RP on Order capitals, and nobody would listen.

I propose this:
Any indies that have a capital, I say should be tried as spies/nomads and needs to be expunged.

Harsh, but I love the Order, and don't want its reputation to become that of the average BHG. Cap spammers.

That is all.

Liberty tried that, but look at what happened

The 522nd was created, rampaged OUTSIDE of Liberty for a month, and then promptly failed and got disbanded?

*sigh* The only thing I think that ALL light carriers should be on the regostry - currently only mine, swiss's and tena's is even on there.
