Bounty Hunter Ships

[timmychen]

I don't really want this to turn into a flamefest against *DW*, I personally see no wrong with them (I don't know anything about them either though, no post no the Faction Status Thread - hmm.), I just don't like seeing seeing everyone in Liberty capships - because we are definitely the ones being whored the most. Whether it be Cruiser, Dreadnought, or Carrier, if you're not in the Liberty Navy, you shouldn't have them. Hell, it technically isn't really that hard to "be" in the Liberty Navy nowadays - just get the IFF and ID and you're technically in.

This goes for all House Capital ships (and non-house too, but I'm not sure about each individual faction's policies on that) - all BCs, Cruisers, anything above a Gunboat should be restricted. From what I know, mercs/BHs can use Gunboats.

For the *DW*, here's a question: If you were given the money to replace your ship with a BH Battleship/Battlecruiser, would you? Honestly, too.

I'll wait a day before contacting Suzanna on the forums; I want to catch her online in-game first.

P.S. - Your capships should definitely have fighter support, especially a carrier - two mediocre bombers armed with supernovas could destroy you easily. A lone carrier is just a target waiting to be shot at. IMO, it's butt ugly too.. the BH Battlecruiser (less than 300m), or whichever one it was that looked like a Star Wars blockade runner looks about 20x better.

EDIT:

I saw a DW guy today in Rheinland. He was flying a Lib carrier and I asked him about it. He said he was off to replace it, so I guess at least some of them are taking the initiative.

Woo, good news! Happen to give us a name so we won't jump on his/her back when we see him/her in-game?
