Indeed. For vessels that behave responsibly (like your own Perihelion) I don't forsee too many problems - For vessels that cause problems, CR will end up being a nice filter. I'm actually glad in that respect that the IMG will not have a battleship-class vessel of their own, but instead will look to their ally for the use of those. Cattlebruisers are easier to splatter then a fullblown battleship class vessel, even if it's the weakest battleship (hullwise) in the game, so they're less of a problem.

' Wrote:They could always ask the CR leadership nicely and try to work with them to find a way that would let them keep the carrier without upsetting the CR...
Make no mistake, CR doesn't have indies for pragmatic reasons, not useless hatred. It's just part of the philosophy about having as many potentially like-minded people under one command chain to maximize their performance as a mob.
And as per getting upset about indies - Since when is it wrong to be upset about random, irresponsible, infantile people having unlimited and unchallenged access to equipment that takes considerable effort to counter?
Factions that come to mind using Zephs:
- Zoners (have one or two - see IMG tech channel)
- RotFront (Hessians, ex-img rebels, have 3)
- ICMG (IMG unofficial faction, I believe they have 3)
- IMG| (have 2 I believe, Comoros and SeaOfSilence2)
- RDA (I think they have 2, also IMG unofficial)
- CR (Unsure how many, at least 3)
Outlaw has one as an IMG Indy
The remainder I can't account for.
