Just throwing in that I support the idea of civilian cap ships for the corporate guys. Particularly. It is evident that the GMG came out on top in the 80 years war but how?

I agree with NEXUS. How would the GMG have won? Even though the GMG are Kusari Descent and background, they are completly seperate from Kusari and are independant. They would only have whatever resources they had already. My throery on how the GMG won the war;

The Rheinland nation did the same mistake that the germans did when attacking russia in WW2. They flew their big ships and massive army into these dense and threcherous gas clouds and the GMG picked away slowly at them. When the Rheinland reailsed their mistake, they were destroyed in the gas clouds as they retreated because of the harsh conditions.

Thats my guess.

Probably a LOT of Taiidan Bombers. LOTS.

A GMG gunboat would be awesome. Something for a merc to fly without being linked to a House or pirate faction.

Edit: By the way, here's a Babylon 5 ship that looks VERY Freelancer-esque, IMHO. http://www.starshipmodeler.com/b5/cc_breheny_06a.JPG

Second Edit: Another rather fitting ship, though I don't know where it comes from. http://mods.firstones.com/buda5/iwar2/imag...l/ingame_53.jpg

Trough tactics.

Read the rumors on certain GMG/RH bases, this is a rough scethc of what you will get :
Kusari funded the GMG in the war = kusari ships.
The GMG had the advantage of their home system, Sigma 13. hazardous clouds and the like.
The GMG CRUSHED the rheinlanders using these clouds, tactics, and kusari funds.

Ill try to dig up some more about the war, not much is know though.

EDIT: drake, the last picture is from the game " X3 reunion" i belive.

Well as for beating the RM in battle... H-Fuel bombs? Dueterium bombs?

And don't forget, Eagles with all Vanilla Skyblast Bs.... Rheinland Battleships would go down so damn fast....

And yeah there were probably some Kusari caps helping them. Although It was probably gunboats mainly...
