I've personally been using the pirate transport instead of my gunboat, and we're now limiting gunboats in Bretonia to 1 maximum.

So glad to see this.

But then you say the rule can be over-ridden. Which means it's not really a rule at all. Is it one gunboat in ALL of Bretonia? Or one gunboat in any one system? Or one gunboat unless you change your mind? Or one gunboat unless the QCRF turn up with one in which case it's twenty?

I'm used to "rules" being explicit.

Well, the American president can declare martial law if he needs to, but its very rarely done, only in cases of pure necessity, this is kind of like that. If the QCRF gets a cruiser or a BH BC, then we might call in a cruiser etc.

Names please, I can't know/teach/scold anyone unless I've got the names.

Thats fine. I would expect any group to do the same.

However I wouldn't have EVERYONE owning a GB. Don't get rid of the ones you have now, just make it so that future members have to acheive a certain rank/show enough responsibilty to own something with that much firepower.

I have to say, your lot have a signature ship, and that is the GB. I wouldn't take that away from you, it works, depsite being an oversized handbag it looks piraty and scary, just like a corsair GB should, and since you are very much pirates, then it works for you.

Well thing is, generally I give everyone a gunboat, but the majority (90%) end up not liking it, and ditch it.
So almost all members have one, but not everyone uses it.
Cap_death for example, has a praefect, gunboat, fighter and bomber. I've only seen his gunboat once, spends most of his time on his bomber, (fighter if we need a fighter in a fight), and uses praefect for Crete defense.

I think this is the perfect way to use all the ships, have the gunboat on stand by, but not use it all the time.

Hmm.. I'd love to try that but how well would it work? 90% of traders don't care about RP, and won't take a pirate transport seriously I think...

And the adv transport graviton shield is only for sale at house bases, which would put us as a disadvantage, sure the pirate transport's got more guns, buth the adv transport shields 3 times the civilian one..

Ivan and I, when we go pirating, go with myself in a gunboat or bomber, and him in a pirate train. Works VERY nicely, we can tax cargo and store it, and when the train is full, we go sell it somewhere, and repeat.

However a single pirate transport just won't work I think...

the pirate transport can take down fighters with ease, transports also with ease 'cos they have a lot of firepower, and 2 of them can blow up a GB. Underestimate at you peril. The RoS have a few pirate transports and pirate trains for our 'smuggling in force' idea and they work a treat... Piracy in them is great by the way... "gimme you cargo... all of it" is a great phrase.

I know I've been doing it lately.

Working on it, we'll need help from the RHA to give us something to do down there:)
