The best way to encourage people to use smaller ships was to make them useful in combat.

ie. Harrier and Missile Frigate were a very good example (until they got nerfed of course).

The faction crew should be connected with planets and pop on it (how much birth it has). If ther is 100 pop in a system, then the faction has a automatic increase of 100 crew evry sec, 10 sec or min, dount now how fast it should be. And if u wanna take a New Dread or a destroyed (all crew are death) u need 1200 crew for stations 10 000 crew, frigats 100-150 etc. And perheps ther should be a limit of max crew a System can hold....like 30-40 k ?!?!

This perheps dount take the numbers of stations down but it gives the need of hawing as muchs planets cap. in a system. And even better u haw another system with a SY and full crew in it.

Its like with resources, but human workpower will travel by itself to SY planets to get a chance to fly Into The Infinity with a spaceship:)

no, this is just, no

i'm not gonna fly anything less then my rank just because someone wants a dread. tough luck, and i could see people picking dreads and not doing anything just to mess up our team, it would require active admins as well.

why should i fly a frig cause everyone else picks something big and there is only 1 point left, i may even get stuck with no ship because i was afk for a bit, and all the points are gone, what do i do then?

just no

The only problem with resources being the limiting factor is that it will promote ship select screen camping. It used to happen way back when - some would mine for ships while others would wait at the select screen and spawn their ship right away, because they didn't want to bother mining themselves.

I would suggest a way to personally mine resources for yourself only, so that you aren't sitting at a shipyard planet in your extractor constantly mining, only to have someone else spawn their ship and use up all the resources you were trying to save up for your own. There needs to be a way to ensure that the resources you mined are available for you, if you so choose to make them personal resources and not faction resources.

That way people who want their big ships have to mine for their big ships and not camp the select screen hoping someone else does it for them, unless that person doing the mining chooses to unload those resources as faction resources available on a first-come, first-served basis (which is the current system).

There have been things suggested within the development team but nothing has been set in stone just yet. Rest assured, we are looking into it (and have been for some time).

and the QQ will be so EPIC that it will be put back the way it was
