So as of today, a new policy has been adapted by CCP regarding high-sec capitals, you know those historic icons that was already regulated by non-combat/exploit rules...
It has now been decided that these icons no longer can reside in high-sec no matter that they where built when they were allowed to. About a year ago, CCP made policy changes when the Rorqual was introduced and nerfed them to low-sec just as the first ones was scheduled to come out of the assembly arrays of the few left in high-sec.
Now a year later all other high-sec capitals (except freighters/JF's) and they are being moved to low-sec all around New Eden.
This imo is a stupid policy change! The capitals was historic icons, people flew long ways to view these ships. They became tourist attractions, added imo great value to the game. But now they are plain useless.
I do understand the "want" of not having capitals in high-sec, but seriously, what threat did these few capitals pose? None, as they were already regulated by the non-combat rules!
Especially shame for those who recently paid billions for high-sec capitals, only to have them nerfed weeks later. And for those who still has their capitals in high-sec, love them now, soon they won't be in your hangar in high-sec.
So CCP, I'm really looking forward to reading your public announcement of this policy change and the explanation of the decision.

Originally by: EVE System 2008.08.26 15:23 Hi. Capital ships are not allowed in high security space, can not be manufactured there and can not transported there. Your Dreadnought which was docked in Amarr VIII (Oris) - Emperor Family Academy, has been moved to a close low security system; Bordan IV - Moon 1 - Kaalakiota Corporation Factory.
And yes "EVE System" is the sender of such messages, same as last year when CCP unanchored LSAA's, and yes I already have a long exchange of petition messages with GMs before posting this.

Originally by: Joss Sparq Query: Chribba, did they even have the decency to give you a choice of system first?
No. However, that won't be a problem. Once everything has been decided/explained etc I will petition it to be moved to a location of my choice, so its current low-sec location will not be a problem.
To all the pilots failing to see the message posted; This is not about just MY ship, this is about ALL capital ships in high-sec, no matter who the owner is. These ships was already regulated under the non-combat rules. Any aggressing combat would result in a swift move by GMs, this move is unprovoked, moving ALL historic icons!

tbh spamming will not solve anything, only make it worse I think.
As for the reason, yeah I too hope it is for a good cause, and that yet waits to see in any announcement coming...

Originally by: GM Grimmi Greetings everyone,
About those capital ships in high secà
First, IÆd like to apologize for this whole debacle. The simple truth is that our policies on capitals in high sec were not all that clear internally as well as officially. In hindsight, we should have given the matter more thought and discussion before acting, a valuable lesson to learn and weÆll remember it in the future. The general idea was that no capitals should be allowed in high sec and then we had some vague un-official guidelines on ships built before changes and whatnot. Those rules were never really actually set in stone and hence the situation we face now.
This is an excellent opportunity to change all that. We have therefore decided to set the following rules for capitals in high sec:
1. Capital ships may under no circumstances be used for aggression.
2. If at war, or with war declaration pending, you may not take your capital ship out of station.
3. You may not use your capital shipÆs attributes to gain any sort of advantage over other players while in high security space.
4. Breach any of the above and receive 2 weeks ban and off to low sec with your capital.
Along with those brand new actual rules, we will move ChribbaÆs Veldnaught back to Amarr, and will also move any other capital ship, by request, that was built in high sec before these changes were introduced. Anyone who had a viable high sec capital moved and wants it back should petition and we will take care of it as soon as possible.
With actual official rules on capitals in high sec, we should be able to make things work without further issues. We will be diligent about enforcing the new rules and anyone found in breach of them will have the offending capital ship moved out of high sec without advance notice, reversal or reimbursement. A two-week ban will also be imposed on the owner.
Thank you for your feedback, patience and understanding.
GM Grimmi Lead Game Master
Thank you, and good to have the guidelines set straight.
Then the question from me about "You may not use your capital shipÆs attributes to gain any sort of advantage over other players while in high security space.":
Is mining in said ship, such an advantage? Basicly, am I allowed to mine in it or not?

Originally by: Terianna Eri 2) does this mean that you can keep the veldnaught permanently docked by wardeccing chribba?
This rule does not make any difference when it comes to me. As I would never have undocked it anyway.
