I voted for the Rheinland Pirate Cruiser. Reasons: it's a very crappy cruiser, really; poorly-armored and a bigger target than the Outcast dessie while having the same number of guns, and the same poor agility as the much more powerful Red Hessian Cruiser. And it's the only cap whose infocard actually says it's most often a rebuilt oldie, and furthermore is the ONLY cap sold on any Junker base.

I believe it meant more of "economic" influence/power than military power.

The Albatross is NOT a junker ship. The original looks quite sleek, in fact. The reason it looks like that is, I'll be blunt, because the textures SUCK. Pure and simple. I hope Doom does do something about it, because eeeeeeww...I like the shape, but the textures...
The Rheinland Cruiser is a nono. The wreckage in SIg-13 has been slagged to itty little bits by the methane. Cheaper just to melt it down and build a new cruiser than try to reassemble a working ship out of the slag.
I don't like Outcast Destroyers in Junker ships, and as the owner of the Outcast Guard system I think I'm actually entitled to do something about it if I start seeing more overuse...the 66th has something like three active Destroyers, and one of them isn't even an Outcast Destroyer, its a Kusari Dessie, to (A) show just how strapped for raw materials we are and (B) because I liked the ship when I bought it god-knows-how long ago...
Pirate Cruiser is the best option, because it's a secondhand Hessian cruiser-a piece of Junk. Not to mention, actually sold within their space.

Point taken, but I would like to make another one of my own...We Junkers have a large shipyard...and all it has for sale is csv's. With a shipyard that large I see nothing wrong with Junkers having caps. If Junkers were truely not ever going to have capital ships, why then do we have a large, and very awesome-looking, shipyard?
Now I am probably not going to go as far as I could and say Junkers need a bs, but I feel we have more cruisers options than just the RH PR Cruiser.

Ah, I voted Rheinland Cruiser, thinking it said Rheinland Pirate Cruiser. Oops. Yeah. Rheinland Pirate Cruiser all the way.

well, I thought the junkers could build transport. Shipyards dont just spwan war vessels you know.
And gunboats, is, I feel, what junker should have of most powerful in their arsenal - because their only real enemy is kinda the hogosha, because they would probably kill each other for control of kusari black market, but htink about it, they are both acting subtle way - they control the underworld's economy, so it will mostly about backstabs and corruptions, not large scaled war vessels ripping hulls apart.

Along those lines, I think that if another version of the mod comes out they should have the Junker shipyard sell the mining ship, repair ship, and heavy lifter..or another civie transport.
I guess the obvious option is for for me to make another char like IMG or Zoners, to fly bigger ships. However again this was to see how you all felt, and if you all have more ideas or opinions...keep them coming!:cool:

well, I think if your idea is something along the line of neutral capship drivers... try zoner. because RPly speaking, junkers doesn't really need large warships.

Whoops...I made blunt's mistake, voting for "Rheinland Cruiser" thinking it actually meant "Rheinland Pirate Cruiser." So take another one off the "yes" list for that option.

Rheinland Cruiser is a no. Why? Well... Think about it... They're in a Radiation field. How long would that take to wear off? 10? 50? 100 years? Everyone on the ship would die very painfully...
Wait, on second thought. *DO* get it.
