Proposal: Remove Battleships from the Zoner ID.

[Thyrzul]

much like your precious councial, who stole blue prints of the valor, legit so far, but producing them in masses?

I was about to comment on this once I've read the rest of the posts, but then I came across Echo's reply...

The Council did not steal the blueprints to the Valor. Far from it. The Council's main warships are stolen or captured, but mostly captained by defectors from the GRN. Council ships are in fact older than their closest GRN counterparts, who have notable technological superiority. Additionally, the Council has control of an entire Gallic system locked down as a veritable fortress; due to the ultra-high military industrialisation of the house this provides them with significant facilities that the GRN still struggles to crack.

Summed up quite accurately, I will only add a few things to it:

Champagne... the system holds approximately 30-35 Redemptions with cruiser and snubcraft support accordingly, surrounded by approximately 50 Valors in the nearby systems to keep us at bay. Numbers might be high for a mere paramilitary organization but that front is at a stalemate, nobody can do anything there, the Council cannot use that force as it is assigned to defend Champagne. Should we try some bigger offensive involving caps taken away from the defense, the GRN would immediately exploit that weak spot and slaugther half of the Council in no time.

Roussillon... well, we got like 5 Redemptions in there at max, a dozen (or one and a half) of cruisers, lot of gunboats and snubcraft support, not something which would be capable to protect the system from a full scale GRN assault. Thus the system relies on mostly it's secrecy.

Mass production? We can only dream about it while even struggling with maintaining our ships. If a GRN captain defects successfully, we rejoice. A loss of a cruiser in Council can be felt heavier than in e.g. the LN.

That's our lore. Now, do you see Council caps roaming around all Sirius?

start being realistic, disco is not reality

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, I'm so gonna sig this omg

Also it's rather funny how complaining stream slowly turned from pobs to zoner caps.

Nah, this issue was here before PoBs.
