creating GMG faction

[marauder]

Before you guys get too involved in this discussion you should remember something very important.

Bombers did not exist in the original FL game.

The GMG beat rheinland by using the explosive gas clouds and hordes of falcons and eagles.

@: whoever it was boasting about beating fighters/bombers etc in gas clouds with a capship, try it without your shield.

Then you'll find out exactly what happened to the rheinland fleet.

@: whoever said it's ok for the GMG to have/use vipers. Just because the zoners build them doesn't mean they give them out to anyone with the cash. The vipers are in the mod for the CR and BSG guys to use, thats it.

No one else has a believable RP reason to have or use one. As for the zoners building them... how many shipyards do you see owned by the IMG again?

Now, my opinion on this:

Go for it, recommended shiplist would be:-

kusari freighter(s),
armoured transport,
the gas miner,
transports (for hauling h-fuel to kusari)
trains (for hauling h-fuel to other houses),
falcons,
eagles.

Possibly have as well/restricted use - civilian bombers (you don't need a bomber as an escort).

No need for any gunboats or cruisers.

Now, before people start waving pitchforks and torches around think about this: escorts are there to make sure the tranport/train/freighter survives.

They are not there to WTFBBQPWN any and all pirates they encounter.
