Hmm, well, just relooked over the rules and see there is actually no bonus for the capture of a specialty ship, only BP ships...my bad, thought we still got the CPs for such..bummer, wasted all those marines...

Ain't hindsight a bitch?   it's actually a good idea.   Remind us for GW5.

Need to pass the word around to the Alliance, seems replacement ships for the CC+ is an NEC, saw 3 players running missions in them. They do need to understand they can't keep their replacement ship if is a specialty ship. Some players said they were not even aware what was considered a specialty ship and what wasn't. One player was spooted in 3 missions in a couple hr period, each time with a different specialty ship.

If somebody in unaware of a rule, politely inform them in generally chat.   If they do no comply, flame their ass into oblivion.

You figure the fricking "s" would be obvious enough

First page needs updating, Jinn?

[Green]

You figure the fricking "s" would be obvious enough 

True.  Problem is almost all of the ships in the yard have a C or an S prefix.  Very few and very limited types of ships for non-OOB players to play.

What about the idea of opening-up some of the S ships after they become a bit more obsolete?  Some something like YFA +5 years for some of the ships?

In the Klingon yards it's the same story. But it needs to work the same for both sides. Our yard was full of almost nothing but specialty ships, Capitol ships and completely useless ships like frieghters (we really should just restrict those to keep them out of the yards completely)
Seems the Tholian yards are working nice, almost every Tholian player I've seen on has a BCH. At one time, 3 out of 4 Tholian players were flying BCHs at once.  Until I pointed out that Tholians were only allowed 1 at a time. Strange, Jinn was even flying one and didn't inform the rest.

[FPF-Paladin]

Hmm... maybe it's some newer Alliance players (the CC+ to NEC bit).. I'll try to keep an eye out and point them in the right direction for the proper CnC rules.  I haven't encountered any Coalition who aren't aware of the s or c designations... I doubt it's intentional really.  Fairs' fair though.

I like the idea of getting VCs for capturing VC ships too, it can be a pretty difficult thing to pull off.

[KAT J'inn]

Actually, yes we were talking about it.  The Tholian ships aren't marked with c's and I didn't even realize that BCP was considered a BCH until someone asked.   WHOOPS.   

The T-BCP (the BCH) is screwed up anyways.   3 PH-1 come in as PH-3s     so I doubt we'll see too many of them.  I'm not sure if there are other BCHs.

[KAT J'inn]

Updated.   I only saw 1 update to make and that was Krueg and Pardek's kill.

[FPF-SCM_TraceyG_XC]

Thankyou J'inn, I was interested to know if there had been any more kills other than Komodo being captured, that was the only one I could find as well.

[FPF-DieHard]

I'll start R'ing out the usels specialty ships so their is less spam in the yards.

Nothing personel...please dont take it so.....I appreciate the time and effort it takes to put up a server....and this isnt directed at anyone in particular...and not meant to be a flame of anykind......but this is another signpost that we have gone too far with the rules and restrictions....

As a casual player...I dont play enough to request a special ship....I dont play enough to warrant one....and I dont feel that I should have to request a damn frigate or destroyer or even a CL when they are fodder in real time , and that I might only fly for 5 or 6 hours a frickin week......

It's no longer worth the grief of fighting for gaming time at all...I'm lucky to get an hour day to play undisturbed between work and family and I'm not going to spend that hour being glorified AI for a bunch of nutters...

I'm sorry...but we have now stooped to restricting not only light cruisers, but frigates and destroyers as well?......are frieghters next?...command varients?....refitted ships?...any varients at all?

How bout we just can the entire list and only allow tourney ships?....why bother using OP+ as a base at all?

Why bother to play at all?...just flip a coin and see who won...

It's just no fun anymore....it's more bother than thrill....

I can no longer justify trying to schedual playing time....or shaving time from my sleep hours to play....or the hassle of fighting two teenagers for PC time.....or the dirty looks from the wife when other more important things need done...

Where will this maddness end?.....well...for me...it ends now....I will no longer be playing under these current restrictions...the restrictions have become a farce....and for me....it's no longer worth the time or effort to game under the current trend....

A sad day indeed....

Time to clean the garage I think...

And just so ya know, was jestamessing with ya on this, wasn't a huge deal.

I think the arguments in this thread and arguments on the past few dynas sum up why a lot of people choose to not play annymore.

There needs to be some change or the playerbase will continue to decrease as a result.

[KAT J'inn]

As i posted in another thread,  the GW (SFB) type server should not be the only server.

We are in real need of a much more open server SOON!!!

I'd like to see a unrestricted server myself.   Hell I'd even go for multi ship fleets again just for fun.

Slave Girls coming soon I hope????


Here's the problem . . .  for some reason or another certain servers are seen as big deals and others are not.   Maybe GW and SG get a draw because Dizzy and I have big mouths and advertise like crazy.   But we need to veiw all servers as serious game play opportunities.  There are not that many opportunities left, sad to say.

There is room for all types, some Dynas need to be less restrictive than others.  I think the next one we do should be a lot more open.

Until then, is it really that bad to have to fly line/command ships?   For christ sake, CWL and CCH ships are available for all.
