Mon'Star's Scorpion GB Is Going Away....

[me_b_kevin]

ok going way back to this thread......

http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...=18728&st=0

long story short, i'm getting rid of the Scorpion GB. so now i'm in the same position i was in the above referenced thread.

so.......

Mon'Star is everyone's enemy....few people will deal with him and those that do either do it out of fear or through mutual gain.

What ship would work? i would think any ship is a viable candidate. though i'm still looking at something GB sized. something that would realistically dock with the Necrosis.

More than likely a complex acquisition story will need to take place no matter what is chosen and i'd love to co-write one for it. There is always the unpopular "i stole it" story but it's too cliche to even consider. I'd love to even have more than one faction involved.

i'm not sure what ships are being added in 4.85 either but those should be considered as well.

maybe a faction from Gallia, not knowing of Mon'Star, might unwittingly seek his aid?

thoughts?

not much choice - you re practicly in the same position as the poor custom factions or freelancers...

actually - you re in worse position... not even zoners sell you theirs.

so - in RP, you might steal a kusari explorer.. and thats about it.

strictly speaking - popularity comes at a price... you re popular enough that no faction would possibly give you a gunboat. - many of the gunboats are also meant to be a lot more factionized ( guarded ) by the factions.

it would be hard to RP convincingly to get another gunboat. - really...or at least - i don t see how you could get one.


when not taking THAT strictly - the very large factions might not really "notice" one of their gunboats being gone ( house factions and maybe the very large pirate factions - hessians, outcasts, corsairs )

all the smaller factions though would know it - and probably don t produce those things - but only build them FOR specific crews.

same advice everyone else gets - speak to the factions you d like to get a gunboat from. - ( ooc like ) - and discuss how it could be possible. a story of theft might also work, but you know that those are not really the most popular ones - no matter how well written they are.

ok - i think the following might be possible with serious RP included

- IMG
- zoners
- liberty
- bretonia
- rheinland
- gallia
- kusari
- outcast
- corsair
- hessians
- BHG orca / gunship

other factions are too small not to notice either a theft of to allow you to grab on another way...

Only other logical one would be a civi gunboat that's been thrown around various forums recently.

there is no civi gunboat - and there won t be one - at least not before 4.86... - so thats no option. 4.85 does NOT include a civilian gunboat of any kind.

You got it backwards. He's already got the ship and is getting rid of it.

besides - i always thought that the scorpion would fit mon star well ( not that i ever seen him in it ... he must be playing anywhere else but around delta )

i was playing with a thought of modeling terrorist GB for this release but i never got round to it...now i feel sorry i didn't.

as for gunboats in the mod only ship that actually can dock with Necrosis are gaian GB and BHg gunship. Others are simply too large. Maybe Rogue GB...

However, i recommend that u use same logic that u used for picking destroyer...go outcast

One a side note given how Necrosis looks like Liberty Gb could be good choice..

gunboat - yes

... Riiiiiiiight...

Frankly I'm at a loss as to what gunboat you could employ. You have your unique ship coming in for purposes of sowing terror... Beyond that your credit isn't much good on any other shipdealing base.

The new Outcast GB, imho.
