As someone who doesn't know/care about the drama here: why is placing limits even a question?Its not even that it is op. It is that it has no room for gameplay... there is no strategy possible.What rational thing can you say to reason in favor of that current state.

How does retreating using FTL NOT involve strategy? Do you people honestly believe that a military force can keep up a perpetual offense without having to default to a tactical withdrawal or a defensive drive at some point in the future?

False; he's KeyGuy's best buddy. He'll always be with the roleplay, no serious punishments, his opinions will carry more weight since they both plan everything and all that.And if ASTA was expressing an opinion, it would be, "Once again, no to the FTL nerf." Saying, "Once again, no to the FTL nerf," indicates he is deciding, he is the one who makes the rules. Grammar and english play a big role, and someone as smart as him knows these things.

So basically you can't defend your craptastic idea, so you resort to highlighting your inability to figure out whether someone is voicing their opinion on something or if they're throwing around orders that they're demanding everyone to enforce and honor.

We really need some FTL rules. otherwise people are going to jump out of battles whenever they are about to lose. Like, require a charging time.

I don't see any issue with using FTL in an intelligent, tactical manner. Hit-and-run strategies, deceivement and coordinated retreats are all valid (and critical) components of warfare.

I know everyone wants space battles to consist soley of giant space battleships exchanging massive broadsides with one another at retardely close ranges, noble space admirals fighting to the last ship and man and nimble space fighters trying to shake one another off of their tails in a 3D environment that affords seamless movement, but not everyone wants to go down this route.

Once again, no to the FTL nerfing.

Flippers and fins aren't going to do so well on the deck of a ship.

Solution is to make a fantasy-version of a torpedo. Create a large anti-ship battering ram from suitable bone mass or rock, attach handles to the ram and then have the ram driven directly into the underside of the boat by a host of merfolk.

Ship hull is optimized to deal with water, not massive merfolk-powered rams.

Honestly, I didn't know Men's Rights Activists were a thing until I read this thread.

A hypothetical question

I don't see why not.

Roleplayers already do this with a rather infamous example of alien life: Humanity.

EDIT: However, player interest might be difficult to garner or retain. When it comes to aliens, everyone has their own take on them. Some players may find it annoying that their creativity is somewhat suppressed by the whole 'One Species Only' rule.

I'm proud to announce that I was wrong.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

I don't even know what this shitstorm is supposed to be about anymore.
