Ehem, the DSSD can hit 35 MGLT under the following conditions:

ALL weapons systems are converted to engines

ALL shields systems are converted to engines

ALL beam systems are converted to engines

ALL emergancy power are converted to engines

As if making it a defenseless flying target wasn't enough, it also can only maintain this speed for about fifteen to twenty klicks max.

I maintain my penalties fairly Isstal.

No there wouldn't be an easier wat. I will not change my standards because when DSSD was approved, there were no standards.

Yes. Yes I am, and I'm glad someone will try and make it fair.

I just think there might have been easier ways! :lol

I'm doing this because I think I've been using a fair standard. Yes, Chadd's design is bullshit and will be radically changed when I get through with it, but it'll be fair. Isn't fairness what you're asking for?

That would be preferable, yes. But it is, I'm afraid, quite impossible. It means taking every R&D ever mentioned here, and going over them again.

Not that I mind - I'm not the one who has to go throw however many hundred there have been. It would be easier, I think, for you to simply use past, approved, R&Ds as a stepping stone to base your recomended changes on.

But if you wish to do it this way, go ahead. And have fun.

Fine, you want all R&D to my standards, you got it.

Fair and right are not always the same, Seti.

You haven't answered my question.

I asked if you think it's fair that Chadd Fearsons is allowed to have an ultra-powerful warship and no one else is allowed to come close to it because of your standards.

Standards are good, and they are to be respected, but they are [b]bullshit[/b] if it makes it unfair for others. And saying, "Oh, Chadd can have an ubership because [b]I[/b] wasn't around to deny it, but you can't because I [b]am[/b] here now!" is complete and utter [b]bullshit[/b].

R&Ds are done to be a cut above the rest, to be a customized device. A certain standard [b]must[/b] be kept when judging them, but that standard should not and [b]can not[/b] change.

Either Chadd's R&D is given another look, or the standard for [b]all[/b] staff when judging an R&D is raised to that level. Anything else is utter and complete bullshit and lack of respect for the rule that TRF has in place. Rules that state everything [b]must[/b] be fair.

And, like I've said, allowing one R&D for X faction to be vastly superior to Y faction's R&D is [b]simply not fair[/b]. Basically, Kanbal, the statement you're making is that Chadd is a demigod and his R&D can [b]never[/b] be beaten, because suddenly you're here to prevent anyone from having an R&D that can compete with Chadd's.

The staff are here to make things fair. Do your job.

However, I will up hold the approval made by past staff members unless there is a full staff agreement to over turn the approval any R&D.

Maim's analysis is correct.

If I were to revisit the DSSD and set it to my standards, then your EMPRESS system would be subject to the same reapproval.

Just an FYI; I've updated the page as I said I would. The ship's not even as powerful as the DSSD, which was approved already.

Avatar
#9 6:51am 23/12/02

Let me put it this way. Kanbal has stated that he would not approve the DSSD in its current form. So, if I submitted the [b]exact[/b] same stats as the DSSD for one of my R&Ds, you would consider it fair that it be denied outright, Maim?

Even though someone else has a ship with those [b]exact[/b] stats already, approved and produced? That's fair, in your eyes?

#8 6:44am 23/12/02

What he is saying, I believe, and I do not want to step on anyone's toes here.. but.. What he is saying is that he will not change an old staff member's ruling because that would negate the authority given to them at that time.

Also, I respect the fact that he has standards and is not willing to lower them just because it was done by someone else in the past.

Bravo, Kanbal, Bravo.

So, basically what you're saying is that Chadd can have a quasi-superweapon R&D because it was approved long ago, but no one else is allowed to create a design that can compete with it?

And that [b]is[/b] fair?

Don't make me laugh.
