I'm really going to regret wading into this but attempting to railroad militia pilots into certain shipclasses is a slight antithesis to what makes lowsec so appealing, the ability for comparitavely small entities to make their own way in whatever fleet compositions they like. I personally interperate the militia situation as an ad-hoc bunch of privateers rather than a direct bolt on to their faction's navy. With that in mind I'd prefer not to have to choose between successful lowsec piracy, and faction warfare. Furthermore if non fw pilots are subject to the same restrictions that's a major restriction placed on all lowsec players. |

At the risk of horribly deviating from topic, but for reasons it would not be polite to get into I feel the need to ask. Xuixien, how old are you? |

I agree with you Nexxala, but what is being advocated in this thread is having everyone's ship choice limited because you are in faction warfare, which is certainly outside the bounds of the consequences of joining militia hinted at earlier as a rationale for the restrictions. |

I wouldn't, however if we take on faith the assertion that the goal of those advocating the "wing-clipping" is a more level playing field between the better resourced and newer players. Capitals are easily attainable to many corps across all four militias, supercapitals less so, and are seldom deployed. Titans are the major force multipliers in the bracket that cannot neccessarily be reached by all militas at this point. Militia pilots are already restricted in opposing hisec, in docking rights in the stations of the opposing powers. Perhaps it would be helpful to offer carrot instead of stick, and offer greater flexibility in deployment within ones own space. Perhaps a jump bridge system contingent on maintaining a particular system tier. Would both render titans less cost effective, and provide a strategic motivation to plex devensively. |
