What about this,
Why not treat KCW like GW and have build points, that way their is enough variety for fun but with enough restrictions to take out some of the larger vessels.

Mainly because you didn't praise Kool-Aid

too late now 

It's also because KCW is trying to have people fly Klink
Not drone type ships, not lumbering dreads, no mass fighter launches etc.

I can (imo) keep it "reasonably" fluffy if I don't have any of them, but if you allow multiple C7's
then why not dreads, why not droneboats, why not carriers etc
Then I have to balance rules for fielding all of htem, have a system for shuffling them around and
the server simply becomes another heavy metal fest.
1 C7 lets the house leader have a ship that *should* be able to beat anything else on the server
in a 1 on 1, but that isn't so tough it will dominate the server.

Is it only the house leader that can fly the C7 or can they designate another pilot(s) to fly it while they are away?

I ask this because I'm in a different time zone.

Dunno yet,
I've thought about it but..
a) want to avoid having the C7's on 24/7
b) want to avoid any possible claims of
"oops I wasn't suppose to have it wen I lost it.. can we have another?"

It's possible (probably likely) that a house will be able to designate one other
pilot that can use it, but again, no excuses will be accpeted if it goes boom

Not to suggest anything, but a real team player would probably just move...

lol

You should take up politics... 8 lines of response and no definitive answer, lol. The other issue is, what if a house leader should unexpectadly find themselves unable to play for a few days or something. Maybe limit how often then C7 can be swapped to another player? (Once per game day?)

Re transfer of C7 class ship..

My first reaction was no they should not be allowed to transferred to different pilots..the reason was simple you wanted limited C7 on the map..

That being said the questions of being away for a period of time etc does come up and I can see where being able to tranfer a c7 makes sense..

Perhaps allow the transfer of a c7 but -- with the provision the new pilot must fly it for a min of 48 hrs before any transfer back is allowed...

Would prevent it from just being used on two shifts during the same day..

No one from my house will be using the C7 but me... That is simply because I dont trust them with it.... lol..... people like Ryker and Sochin thinking it is some sort of CLC or something.  <snicker>

[Sochin]

Oh ye of little faith, commando roles to avoid a burst of disruptor fire Why do you think I went for something like the D5?

I agree. 48 hrs at least.
The ability to transfer capitol ships instantly, IMOPO, is...(remembers he's in open forums)... silly.
You wanted a Capitol ship, now fly it! 
Choose wisely the Captain who flys the Precious!

Only comment to this transfer idea with time limits.  Let's say I fly it all night, then pass it to Risky.  He starts flying it for say 8 hours.  He then flies it for 8 hours the next day, and 8 hours before he gives it back.  I take it back and fly it for 8 hours right away.  He can't give it back for 48 hours but it has just been flown for 40 hours in a 64 hour span(8+48+8).  Good thing we dont want a C7 ship dominating time online?

I do agree that it should be allowed to transfer due to RL ect. but perhaps have a limit of say at least 12 hours of notimefly zone from time of transfer, each way.  This does not really have to be recorded by the house leader and other pilot in the main forums for all to see(because all would know the C7 is offline for that time guaranteed) but be recorded for viewing at least within the respective team forums for verification by any house leader or admin that asks.
