Massive clusterfuck on tonight's faction war.

I can only describe the events that took place tonight as.....epic lolz.

Plus the enemy team didn't have a capital ship, they had a fast attack ship.

A capital ship is a big, slow, and powerful ship. Not a damn 2 prop, 113 mph (admitted it in chat!) ship with 5 turrets that attack from on the planet.

The only requirement for a capital ship was 4 medbridge pieces... and it was made of around 8.

We just went round and round on this.

1.) If you have different ideas about a Faction War, make posts about it before the competition starts. I had my definition of a capital ship up for many days before everything started and anyone could have made input.

2.) Spend more than 5 minutes on your ship before you enter a battle.

3.) You get off on arguing, and you think it makes you sound cool or something. It doesn't, it makes you sound like a huge douche.

1. Why so serious?

2. Definitions of a Capital ship from many sources:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_ship
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Capital_ship (Technically this is what spacebuild's technology level is, Star Wars or Star Trek.)
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/capital+ship
http://www.answers.com/topic/capital-ship
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/capital%20ship
http://europeanhistory.about.com/od/glo ... lships.htm
http://dictionary.die.net/capital%20ship
http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic. ... 2&t=133560

3. The firing from the planet was an accident... ACCIDENT!

4. You ship was weakly defended, no angle movement on the guns, just front guns.

5. Your life support was dependent on ONE place, once that is gone, you are gone.

6. Your ship was slow, it was your fault you chose to make it slow, there were no rules saying it must be this and such maximum speed.

7. We used 8 turrets which were not auto aimed, they were aimed by the operator of all 8 turrets, me.

8. All screenshots I took of the ship

And also:

Capital Ships

Definition: A generic type of ship, comprised of battleships and battlecruisers. As the largest and strongest craft in a fleet, 'capital' ships usually cost the most to build (a lot of capital), acted as the main focal points for the navy (capital as in the head of something) and embodied power and ability (capital being used to push a project forward). The term soon became entirely self-contained, referring to the high speed, massive armour and deadly guns of naval behemoths like Bismarck. Other famous capital ships include Britain's Hood and Dreadnought and Germany's Tirpitz

Next person to make a flame/complaint thread in this forum will suffer consequences. Yeah, I don't care if somebody/something deserves it or not, this isn't the place.

Yeah, their ship was small and maneuverable, but apparently the requirement was only 4 pieces. I didn't ever see a thread saying what the rules were, but if Casanova said it was there, it was there. I'm going to pay more attention next time and make sure the rules and regulations keep to good ol' Faction's standards. And as long as I have a part in it, there will never be a capital ship limit set at 4 pieces.
