Ok, color me puzzled.
Based on the varying degrees of outcry over the topic, I just gotta ask... what?
Ok, so the governments of the cluster have decided to give people the power of a demigod, and then happily relinquish any right to police their actions, instead forming "CONCORD" a megapolice entity who seem to "punish" capsuleers only by destroying their ship, and ie, their crew, but who do absolutely nothing to the capsuleers themselves.
Really?
When you are a criminal, ie, have sec issues, or have standings issues, it is the enemy faction navy that attacks you, not CONCORD. That looks like theyre policing their own nations to me.
The idea that capsuleers are somehow magically immune to any and all consequences is just a bit hard to swallow... if a capsuleer lands, walks into an Amarrian "sunday school" class, and starts capping children, the local police are just gonna let them walk away, huh?
What would CONCORD actually DO to punish this person? Lower their sec status, seriously?
Game mechanics have limitations; people have to be allowed to be pirates, and gankers, or whatever, and not have their characters "taken away to jail/whatever" for doing so. That dosent mean that the RP community should take that as "how it is".
Confused. Seriously, do people think capsuleers are beyond any actual legal repercussions for their actions, beyond "Sec status"?
