I don't understand why ship dealer is so important. I use mostly soulforge train, mining ship, chimera or some other vhfs. Only DF has real benefit cause of speed, but its a hf with less weapons and armor. Why shouldn't everyone have access to those ships.
If anyone wants to join a clan it should be cause he likes to be in a clan comunity. If he needs help he can get it.
I by myself let other buy those ships, so there is no reason to close DS17 for those who need to have a station in IC.
btw. i even sell clanequip if you have enough money. Everybody should have fun here, and have the possibility to get everything,
One year after all clan leaders left the server, even you Denne, i decided to found <SF> to keep this mod alive. Many player join and helped building Academy, many left, few stay. The time that there are permanently more than 20 player online are gone,
Maybe lets think of a player tag for DS17. Like every player has one tag for those ships he wants to dock at DS17.
