Flagships

[Allyson Locke]

@Raziel

Totally forgot recalled factions, should we make a few rules pertaining to that. I don't think factions that lose major faction hood should keep their ship, it should basically become unuseable or something. Because of the whole "one flagship per MF" etc etc if two factions merge and they both have flagships...well...

guess the could salvage both and make a new one?

 

[Jorus Merrill]

I like the direction this is going. The 400-post thing was a pilot project from the 2.0 days, and the longest a flagship thread has ever gotten is 135. [member="Raziel"]'s thing looks solid to me.

 

[Tefka]

Why are we applying the 25 posts / km to all ship dev.

I never said anything about all ships, why are you bringing them into this

Where did they hurt you

 

[Tefka]

Also I'm renegging my 16km proposal

Raise it to 8, not 16. I don't think, realistically, any faction could get to Empire-levels of production to create an Executor.

Also, recalled factions can merge their flagships to other major factions if theyre not at their max.

There should be some benefit to merging.

 

[Gir Quee]

As a thought, if we are standardizing development for each length, are we going to provide standardized stats for each length too, perhaps in template form? Or are we going to be more "freestyle" in judging them on an individual basis?

 

[Tefka]

This thread concerns flagships, and pertains only to the length of flagships. Get outta here with your standardization of ship lengths.

 

[Allyson Locke]

[member="Gir Quee"] We literally just revamped/standardized all ships already, this is just for flagships and nothing more.

[member="Tefka"] so would we get rid of one flagship per major faction?

 

[ADM. Reshmar]

make it clear that only the major faction can use the flagship. no subfactions or individual characters can own the ship. Sanya keeps pulling me and gir into chats about doing a flagship and I saw their first draft and they have it where the faction FO can let them use it if they want. We need to amke sure it is major faction only threads no sub faction stuff like they just did.

 

[Allyson Locke]

Sanya was warned about that. The ship she made if it became a flagship she couldn't use it when ever she wanted. Even so she needs permission from the faction staff for her 3km ship. [member="Reshmar"]

 

[Tefka]

Yeah, the rules are pretty clear on that already. If you want her to stop rofling around in your faction's ships, then its your job to tell her.

Only when she defied Faction Staff would an RPJ need to be involved.

 

[Raziel]

The merging I'm less keen on because I know certain people will be whispering in the ears of people who've inherited dying factions and pressuring them to merge just to get their flagships.

I have seen in the past where someone "owned" the ship simply saying that they were the captain of the ship, and no one could use it without their consent. I agree. The Faction owns it. If anyone wants to use it, they must ask the admin team within the faction, as well as staff to use it.

However, I don't see it a problem to be used in invasion threads. Any other type of thread? Permission only. And if anyone questions its use, then the person needs to provide some kind of proof that the go ahead was given. That way we can avoid things like what [member="Reshmar"] had mentioned.

[member="Raziel"], qutos on the rules. and I agree with Tefka. I like the idea of an 8km, or even up to 10km ship, but anything more and it just gets out of hand, and people are really trying to compensate for something.

As well, I would like to add a rule.

Major Factions who have been alive and active for more than two months are allowed to have their special ship. *one month for their special tag, and two for their special ship* This way we don't have people making major factions, build a ship, and then pass it on to someone else by "merging" I really do not want to see brand new factions coming up with 8km ships out of nowhere. 1, the are new to the galaxy on a large scale. 2, they don't have the funds to realistically make it and other ships as well.
