+--- Thread: Corvo - exception to the rule in ID - proposal (/showthread.php?tid=95716)
RE: Corvo - exception to the rule in ID - proposal - SummerMcLovin - 03-19-2013
If you find a valid reason for bringing a cruiser instead of just a GB and/or bombers as escorts, submit that to the house for permission. Thus far, I haven't seen any.
Also, the ID rules about docking d not prevent you from moving through house space.
Zoners specifically left house space and don't really need to return (by lore). The ID line is an ooRP balance measure (preventing ZoI-less cap escorts and neutral powertraders). The purpose of the Corvo is exploration out in the deep of space. The Destroyer is for powerful defence out where the homeships are, i.e. the Omicrons (and some Omegas).

Corvo is meant as a deep space explorer. What the hell is it doing in house space anyway? Perhaps as a "once in a blue moon thing" it could land for some unusual role-play reason, but past that people should not be seeing it except out of the way in the far reaches. Not to mention these things are not meant as escorts by lore.
Fearless is the escort. By lore and infocard. That would be fun in house space, heh.

Well as I understand it, the corvo cruiser is an under powered ship, designed specially to be a zoner's home. In actuality and in rp term, it is not a ship capable of warfare. Allowing more of these "flying homes" to scoot around the house systems freely I see as only improving rp. Perhaps designate them heavy liners.

Quite sure in lore they are more than capable of "warfare", it is just Zoner ideology prevents their use as an offensive weapon. Sentimental homes passed through generations, yes. Capable of surviving in the harsh edge and border worlds, yes. They are not really a "transport" as much as a mini-Jugg.

I always thought Zoner ships aren't meant for warfare. Exploration-/colonyship fits more. And I don't agree of having them roaming through house space. They decided to live in the remote systems for a reason. And it makes totally sense to not allow their capital ships in house space, and docking even.
RE: Corvo - exception to the rule in ID - proposal - Anomander - 03-19-2013
Hmm, why Bowex ships have an escort crusiers? becouse it's safer...
becouse that kind of ship also could have a fighter backup..
And about landing You have to buy some exuipment, and fuel -
it's pain in the arse to ask someone in Your escort to dock for some fuel or nanos each time You need some...
Also pesonally - my Researcher fly with Zoner ID and now I cannot change my ship to Corvo,
since I will be not able to land in ANY base anymore in the other hand Gunboat is not enought for me
since my RP require a stronger ship.

Extremely warfare capable. Meant to shrug off most damage. They are colony ships/exploration ships, but in the most dangerous area of space. They were designed with teeth, just in case.
The other part of your argument is more each Zoner to their own style.

Bowex) have cruiser escorts?

I might be mistaken - few times I saw a convoy where there was few Bowex transports plus cruiser, 1-2 gunboats and fighter or two.
but We go out from the subject.

I think you are talking about the former [Convoy] later BAF|-MN with a BAF ID. The Cruiser only got the permission in Liberty. And maybe there were a few Bowex ships around from time to time.
