I guess my point along the lines of the Battlecruiser was this, we are supposed to be/ have great engineers. The comparison to the mafia actually is another reason for my request of a cap ship that could do some damage. Enforcement of allies simply put, the mob always kept up to date on equipment so that they could respond to threats against there own with force. Also the fact that we deal with heavily armed groups, that have no set value system beyond small almost tribe mentality baselines we are an easy target. The mob did use corruption, bribes, and bartering much like the Junkers do, but you do have to have a base of strength behind it as well to ensure your survival. The reality is as other groups you deal with grow in strength, if you do not you will perish.
