Liberty Police, Inc.

[Zapp]

I don't really like it that much. When you get down to it, the SA RPs as the Navy. While that was the point you were making, to me it goes in the opposite direction. I have never seen the Navy and police work together. Never. The Navy is purely there for foreign dealings (war, taking care of the big pirates, patrolling the independent systems) while the police are there for keeping the peace, taking down the small time criminals (light fighters in NY, Cali, Texas, Colorado) and scanning for contraband.

Though, if it came down to it, better than the LSF. It would be a better fit to go with the SA.

That being said... weaponry. I don't know about the Liberator (I'll check the gun points on it later) but here are some possibles for a Patriot. I have 3 loadouts in mind... we should pick one pretty soon and stick with it.


Loadout 1: Shield Busters allowed

2x Adv. Stunpulse
2x Justice III / Lavable III
1x Hornet CD
1x Razor mine (something in the Seeker family, please)
1x Adv. CM

Sorry Jinx, but I have to disagree with you on the Wasp... I absolutely hate it. I think the Hornet would be better. After all, if what you said is true, then the CD is our biggest weapon. Against smugglers, all we can do is stop them and wait for the big guns to arrive.

This would mainly be an anti-danger/bloodhound (if we could get a Rogue faction to play LF with us...) setup. You would group the shieldbusters on Group 1 and take the shields out with them. It would only take a couple of hits, in my experience. Then, the Justice/Vengeance would take down the hull.


Loadout 2: We're a big fan of high refire rate

4x Justice III
1x Hornet CD
1x Razor mine
1x Adv. CM

This one is your basic Justice setup.


Loadout 3: We're a big fan of low refire rates

4x Lavable III
1x Hornet CD
1x Razor mine
1x Adv. CM

Basic Lavable setup.

Now, I firmly believe that any officer can trade out one gun for a missile launcher. Maybe the person (if we decide on setups 2 or 3) wants a shield buster, and decides to swap a gun for an eraser missile.

Now, partners were mentioned, as well as restricting people to certain assigned systems. I like both the aforementioned ideas. Police always have partners. Watch Law and Order, and all those other shows that I'm too tired to name right now. Always. And they always have jurisdiction. Can we, in Colorado, call in backup from a unit in California? We should be able to, yes. Should they be able to take a shortcut through Ontario? Yes, they should. But only in that circumstance (and vice versa).

Gah, was gonna say something else, but can't remember for the life of me... I'll stop now.
