[Idea] - House Military Vehicles e.g. Liberty Military Vehicles - Fletcher - 05-30-2011
Ok, this idea may or may not be worth it but here goes.
There are places that sell military vehicles, and the huge potential for income is there. Though it bugs me, would the Houses with such a high state of tension sell military vehicles? However I can see arms deals taking place don't get me wrong.
What if each House that sells or builds the Military vehicles get their own House designation? As in Liberty Military Vehicles, Rheinland Military Vehicles and so on.
This could allow for police and military to try and keep their stuff 'at home' unless there is actually a sanctioned arms deal which could improve RP and 'relations' between Houses. I can see Rheinland capitalising here due to their debts.
While it could also allow for arms smuggling for high profits but high risk by shipping the vehicles abroad, or to criminal stations.
So, how do you the community take this idea?

I like it.
But I think your sig is backwards!

There are already two kinds of Military Vehicles; the type sold in Liberty, and the type sold in Rheinland. They appear indistinguishable, but in the game files, they are two different commodities, with different sell points and prices, but the same icon and infocard. Originally, they were one and the same, except it was far too easy for a trader repped neutral to Rheinland and Liberty to just grab the ones from Rheinland, carry them straight across a warzone, land on a Liberty Battleship and sell them for immense profit. This was a problem since there weren't enough navy ships around on either side to prevent this route from being abused.
Furthermore, Liberty will not accept any materials sourced from Rheinland which may, at any stage, have an application towards the war effort, since those goods may have been tampered with. That is the basis for one of the primary aspects of Liberty's trade embargo.
As for arms dealing; while Liberty manufactures its own, Bretonia imports from Liberty; and Kusari imports them from Rheinland.
Also, I don't see where pirate groups would make use of such equipment; as far as I know, no pirate groups engage in ground-based warfare with other factions.
To conclude: no offence, but I'm not sure if your idea really develops anything... except maybe the opportunity for naval transports to visit other houses with military goods. By all means, prove me wrong.
Edit: having read the other thread you made, ALG have a MV contract/permission to haul to Bretonia (from Rheinland, of course).

The entire point of your idea is To allow 'weapon sales/smuggling' RP for smugglers and police. This role play is already available.

What's wrong with giving the 2 different types of Military Vehicles different names? Hard to do?
