' Wrote:...I'd just like to point something out. Doesn't the idea of Unmount The Weapons contradict a continuing storyline? If the Order and the Outcasts were at one time friendly, and the Outcasts were using the Osiris (because that little thing is SO much cheaper to produce than the Dreadnought), and the diplomacy went from allied to hostile over time (as it has with the AW and the Corsairs), would the Outcasts simply scrap the Osirises? That's a perfectly good piece of expensive military hardware, why on earth would you scrap it because of a change in alignment? Use it to your advantage! Turn the enemy's blade against them! While you're obviously not buying any new Cids, why on earth would you scrap the old ones?
Oh, and as for the Outcast Dreadnought issue, yes, the ship shouldn't be there. Hence Dab's planning to switch it out for the Outcast Battleship, which is designed for export. Of course, the Corsairs are bound to scream bloody murder and declare war, but is it Out of Roleplay? I don't see it. Hopefully the new Juggernaut will come out, be the nice all-purpose BS we need in it, and we can drop the whole issue. Let's not dwell on things that will be resolved anyways.
Oh. And if the AW ever become 'Eta Defenders' I will chase them out. No, you are Not Welcome.
The Osiris would be scrapped once it was disabled in battle a single time. Considering how fast battleships get taken down, and the spare parts needed for their repair, you think the Outcasts (or any faction in fact) would go to the trouble of aquiring those just to repair it, especially if they just have two of their own models to use anyway?
Think in terms of logistics, and you'll see where Im coming from.
It is out of roleplay if you look closer and don't dodge the actual issue here. The AW shouldn't be the angry zoners that they currently are. If they want the Zoner tag, im afraid they are gonna need to work for it. My main issue with the zoner tag is that they claim neutrality with it, but favour one side with both ship choice and diplomacy.
Why would you chase them out if they became defenders of Eta? What is your problem with this idea and more importantly, how would you RP that?
