Hi everyone...
I was thinking, why are all the decent and normal players starting to avoid and leave Liberty, until last night when I experienced the lolwut wave on my own skin... Now I was thinking is there anything that can be done about it. Make caps hunting for snubs against the rules!!!! I know that many of you will say it would be ooRP but think about it. Here are my arguements for it:
1. Those who do that don't really care much about RP and we all know it
2. In RP no navy would send a fleet of cap ships to fight a few fighters
3. Would encourage the lolwut capwhores to use snubs for regular patrols
4. Would bring back some sense of fairplay back into the game
5. I don't mind being ganked by snubs but being outnumbered by caps chasing my fighter is way too much
There are many more arguements for this but I won't name them all. I would like to hear opinions from the community on this (urgent) matter.
Let's not give up on Liberty that easy folks, let's claim it back from the lolwuts!!!
It sounds like you just got teamed up on while on an unlawful character in Liberty.
It happens.
The rules won't be changed because a few people got ganked. Perhaps you don't notice the LNS being ganked all the time.
The only thing that can be done is just be smart. Don't get into pvp encounters that don't/won't end in your favor. Play the game like you would if it was Real Life. This is a roleplay server, not a fairplay server. I know thats kind of cruel to say, but life is cruel.
Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
I understand and know how you feel, but your ideas might be a double edged sword.
The indies are the capwhores, but they make 70% ish of server activity.
Stripping their cap privileges might make things worse.
But I would like to see some forms of control measures on the usage of capital ships in Liberty. Because indie capwhores are allowed to have fun at other people's expense, and the officials turn a blind eye to it because there's nothing that they can do. For now at least.
Don't take me the wrong way here, this isn't some sort of a rage thread. It is true WE got ganked, but I didn't get killed or anything. The worst thing was they broke a nice RP between the XA- and the Reavers and that was it...
Another problem:
Rules-wise, I swear liberty is getting more corrupt each day.
2 hours in Lib, 10 rule breakers.
And like I said,, people keep turning blind eyes to these acts.
Thus, it's up to me to fill reports.
But reports don't solve the problem enough.
Give them a few days, and the sanctioned person will be doing exactly what he did a few days ago, all loaded up with equipment again, breaking rules.
At the time if the rule break, the victims suffer most. Their fun has just been ruined, they can't re engage fairly or go back to that system for another 2 hours (on that specific character).
The people in Liberty are new, cut them some slack.
It's best to politely poke them and tell them what they're doing is against the rules, rather than reporting them. It can really turn someone off of the game when they get all their money removed within their first week of being on the server.

I have stuck with that but I am starting to get fed up with it, sadly.
If they're flying capital ships, they should know as Ben Parker once said:
"With great power, comes great responsibility".
