GRN and IMG

[Jack_Henderson]

Haste, do tell: What is left of Taus then?
T23 used to be an activity hub. Awesome battles. OC vs. "The free Tau people". You remember.

So... let's look gameplaywise at Tau 23 what is left when Java becomes GMS/GRN/GRP.

Or... just look at the rest of the systems in which purely Gallic bases are: they are sadly dead.

Gameplaywise, spots that many IDs can dock at, meet, talk are a necessity (see Freeports in Delta or O3) even though they are a pain in the behind to manage for the owner. That's why the GRN Battleship was put close to Java to show "Guys, if you are red to the occupation force, this is not the friendly place to loiter". The alternative that was discussed was a IFF change of Java, but the Battleship version was deemed less disruptive to gameplay while it takes care of silliness that comes with an "open port somewhere in red-land" in an adequate way.

I am not opposed to "moving to greener pastures" - as you put it - however any such change would be bad for already struggling Tau gameplay. We also saw that the resettlement (as irply correct as it may be) has yet to yield good results. CR in Coronado... let's face it: they are sidelined and dumped into a rather uninteresting spot. Council, Roussilion, sidelined and forgotten. So ripping factons from their environment has yet to yield positive results.

And - something perhaps we should not neglect - it would be yet another harsh deviation from Vanilla, and an unnecessary one at that, as the gameplay issues (silly dockings) have been taken care of in another way.
