Seems almost pointless to have so much wasted space on a ship designed for one Mercenary w/ whatever small number of support crew you actually need.

MINA Longstrike wrote:^are you aware of how many carriers, dreads, orcas, rorquals, freighters, jump freighters & machariels there are in eve? Every one of those is either a cap or cap sized. In an API thing I found on reddit from 2012, it lists something like 5000+ super carrier & Titan pilots by name. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ttaPlFogNceWTfN5jKl5PXg/htmlviewNon super caps are much easier to get.
Why the **** would any in Dust ever need a capital ship? That doesn't even begin to make sense to me Mina?
I don't have the ISK to manage a vessel that large? Hell in New Eden I can't even buy one. And Rattati is telling me I either built this monstrosity, stole it (someone is going to ******* want it back), or was given it.....well over a Billion ISK's worth of goodies.....
I don't even think I've ever earned one billion ISK in my 2 years of playing. Unlike us those Capital pilots have earned the right to fly their vessels through weeks and months of skill training, we are being given them for free........
I could understand each player being given something the size of a destroyer or a Cruiser with which to transport their materiel around the cluster and to live out of....but anything bigger begs the question "Why?".
Do I need 90 Tanks for any conflict? Nope 2-3 a Match at most.
Now if Rattati is giving our assets locality aka our warbarge.....how is travel time around New Eden accounted for? We don't zap across to flash points around the cluster do we anyone? If we do why need the warbarge? None of my assets need be physical things until I use my "item token" to have my employer fabricate the equipment for me.

Well that would be a matter of opinion. Seeing as mercs (or clones in general) do have their own unique personalities it only stand to reason that what one would see as wasted space, another could see it as an opportunity. Infact, I think I could see Jonny right now relaxing in a private sex dungeon he constructed from strong boxes in a corner that was previously empty.
You don't need 10,000m3 to have a sex dungeon......

Immortal soldiers are scary; concord has a reliable means of permanently killing capsuleers; they have yet shown this capability for immortal soldiers. Barges may be that solution.
Will CONCORD be establish Space Traffic Laws. 32 freaking huge shield clustered around a planet would certainly cause residents to complain about their views being ruined not to mention the hyperspeed almost instantaneous transportation from my original conflict zone in the Bleak Lands one second to Black Rise in the matter of seconds honestly would cause havoc.
Or are we Cynoing our way about without Jump Fatigue affecting us?

Using you own point against you.
SPACE IS HUGE HOW DO I GET FROM BLACK RISE TO THE BLEAK LANDS IN LESS THAN 1:30 assuming that's how long I have to queue in FW during peak hours?

You certainly don't sell yourself looking like a 2.5m Super Human Albino with generically menacing features and none of the human gribby bits.
