' Wrote:That's not the point. Actually, any "Outcast side" faction can make a deal with "NovaPG" and use their ships.
That's not necessarily a righteous thing to do.
Here's the Blood Dragon infocard :
Quote:Developed by Blood Dragons on the basis of Dragon, Blood Dragon is the best heavy fighter class ship availabe in Sirius. Maneuverability, improved power supply and heavy armor make Blood Dragon a deadly weapon in the hands of a skilled pilot. However, Dragons conceal the design of this ship even from their pirate brethren, so the only place where it's built is Kyoto base.
Blood dragons wouldn't give it to you. No matter what are PC relations, you would not get them.
That's the whole point.
I believe it says the designs and is BUILT on Kyoto. It never says anywhere that its USE is restricted from the GC.
The GC (PC) is farther in role play than a heck of a lot of other factions. All three Corsair factions use codenames and nomad weapons, GC don't, even though they definitely could justify 2 codes or nomads per ship.
Have you encountered them in-game at all? From the stuff you write, it doesn't look like it, and no one should make decisions or raise objections until they have at least SEEN what they are talking about.
Moving on to the Outcast faction comment.. Your making up assumptions and decisions you aren't qualified or authorized to make. Your not in any of the three Outcast factions, let alone in their leadership. Secondly the Outcasts haven't and CAN'T request them. BLS obtained a SINGLE Red Catamaran for a bomber that they used almost exclusively in Kusari, and it doesn't even exist anymore.
The Outcasts are in Alpha. They are allied to Blood Dragons for the simple reason that they are pre-existing allies of the GC and common enemies with KNF. GC can request ships from the Blood Dragons. The both have worked together in a very close alliance for over a hundred years (play SP camplaign please..) and have a single jump hole between the two's main bases, and now there is only a singly JH between their guard bases as well.
Also, GC are just as tough as the Blood Dragons. SP campaign here again. The BD are shown as a very small, highly skilled group. GC are a much larger group (getting reinforcements from women, rather than the kids of pre-existing BD pilots) with slightly less skill.. Evenly balanced, one with numbers, the other with skill. There is no reason for the BD not to sell a few of their ships to the GC. They don't release the designs, which stops anyone else from making them, but they do sell built ones.
