I think a faction / council of some older and trusted players should be formed as a sub-admin faction to deal with small things admins dont have time to.
And I think when sanctioning capships for PvP whoring / OORP / reengaging and so... They should lose their ship... Or at least their BS license. Seems like weapons are not enough for them...
"Wow that'd...suck. If i had to pay 250m every time Graviton died our banks would be empty and the Rogue faction would be dead. I simply don't have that kind of money to spend every time we fight the LSF and Goliath comes online.
Bad idea IMHO."
now - thats the point innit? - think before flying a capship somewhere. - but i d still vote for turning ALL equipment on a warship to 1% instead of a mountable license. a mountable license is lootable by the winners - and a reason to pvp just for the cash.
if you make it so that a destroyed battleship or gunship whatever respawns with all their weapons, shields, equipment armor etc - at 1% - you ensure a fair amount of cash.
so - what we want is people to think about when to risk a warship, don t we?
well, personally, i got no problem, mine was only destroyed once in over half year:laugh:
This is going to muddy the waters, but let's take a look at the Persephone: a Zoner Juggernaut that stands vigil by Freeport 11 to provide security from incursions by the local blue squishies.
Not technically in a faction, though a well known Zoner ship.
Putting it in brick and stone that one might only pilot a capship if in a faction might cause a slight amount of stifling. While some would say that there is no such thing as over regulation on an RP server, let's not necessarily shoot ourselves in the foot here with hard and fast rules across the board.

Yeah, well, maybe that could force you to limit capital ships in your faction.
And yes, i am implying on tonight's event, in which your faction camped in front of Manhatan with total of 1 OC battleship and 2 OC destroyers.
Try flying something smaller, that faction isn't really good for cap ship spamming, really.
It was cool while you had an Outcast Destroyer for a flagship. But this now is nonsense.
Rogues aren't supposed to have Fleets.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.
Yes... Nothing personal against you, but it was nice to see youm only have a dessie as a flagship... then you switched to an assault supercrap and lost your originality... Same as when UKMG switched from their Alby to Bstar Adv...

Much stronger than a Cruiser (powerplant alone gives it that, and when you consider it can mount battle razors, inferno cannons or mortars, it gets much deadlier. Then you consider that it's a LOT more agile than a battleship. They're just a better choice for those wanting the "thrill" or owning people in a capital ship.

ahhh i get you, got a little confusing for me my ships information paragraph says "combines the agility of a cruiser and the power of a battleship" :)
your way makes it much much clearer hehe
I was a little disappointed to see the Graviton switched to an Assault Battleship, too, but what's done is done. I'd have liked a bit of Roleplay for it, since the Rogues are pretty small to be pumping out Battleships.

A battleship should be more a tool of RP, than a big black brick with point'n click killing ability (you can see the black brick in my sig).
Its simply nonsense to use the Bship just because its big and kewl. (And you can be proud of that you had the patience to trade 3 weeks in a row and the other dumb idiots still fly VHFs...)
I dont mean faction battleships here. I mostly mean independants who think they are invicible or what when they come, kill and say "go away now, its a rule"
Honestly, I've come to agree with the Faction-Unless-Excepted party. If it were me, we'd appoint a group of three players (not Admins, they have too much to do) who would review the Roleplay for every non-faction battleship on the server. If you don't have a Roleplay, you aren't issued a Battleship license and you get 700 million credits and a nice little Starflier.

[stupid idea]Maybe we could even get onto the edge: When we will be somewhere around 4.87 and all factions will have all ships (Hm... BowEx battleship...), the moddelers would make some one-of-a-kind ships, that would be slightly different, or maybe even slightly better ships avarded to good roleplaying players... I mean something like an Xeno-altered GB for Prospector, two or three ecologic fighters for NLH... I dont know... Many possibilities... Instead of sanctioning, > attracting. [/stupid idea]
