Not the first time, but your police wouldn't be doing their if gang bangers in tanks started showing up two three times a day to have their way with you, and the police showed up in smart cars to watch.
Also, as I said, police need something that can stop and destroy smugglers, that's a bomber or GB, not an LF.

If we are talking Liberty here maybe a joint effort btw the LPI and LSF. No ships bigger than a gunboat so that the lawfuls could chase the smugglers into asteroid fields and what not. Maybe even some undercover cops (tho IDK how that would work.)Kind of two threads on the same thing going on but I will quote myself.

Yes...a tactical response team like a modern day APC.

If gangs kept showing up with heavy armor then the Military would be sent to wage war on them. Still not a police function.
I somewhat agree that Police should have access to bombers but perhaps SHFs instead to handle bigger targets. A bomber is really a military item as is a GB.

Perhaps in some cases where there isn't a strong line between police and military, but in most houses the police would deal with them because that's the job of the police, just like irl where police arm up with armored vehicles, heavier firepower, swat teams, etc... rather than calling in the military every time they are outgunned.
The military handle external threats, the police handle internal ones.

Just a bump really, problems gettig more out of hand, was chased by three dreads, a battlecruiser, 2 cruisers, 2 bombers, and a light fighter... Outran them but it was scary.
Different time, but things like this happen alot
Quote:EDIT: Joe, you're bloody hilarious. Remember yesterday with Verillian? What was that, 7 against one Dessie? You guys had a Dreadnought and about 3 bombers in there too, didn't ya'? You were there, you remember.

The LPI has a SWAT division with bombers and VHFs, and I imagine most other Police factions do the same. What's in debate here?

since it seems to be not just about police, I guess this is another we have too many battleship thread as usual.
Sure. Make them 30 billions.
No one will buy them anymore unless they are an entire faction working on it.

Xing.
The 522nd would field 3 Battleships in two weeks then.
And then we would win over Liberty.

The 522nd shouldnt even be able to exist... the little rebel battlegroup in all realism would have died by a thousand factors, so, really, 3 battleships and we win over liberty? My sense of humour must be somewhat lacking there.
