As decreed by The Brotherhood and The Omega Pirate Guild
The sale of all Cruiser class ships of Corsair make will be hereby controlled by the TBH, and the OPG. All pilots who currently own a Corsair vessel of Cruiser class or higher must register their vessels here. Any pilots who plan to buy a Corsair vessel of Cruiser class or higher must register their vessel before purchase.
The behavior of a capital ship Captain must be befitting of the Captain of such a vessel. It is a privilege, not a right, to fly one of our majestic capital ships into battle. A privilege which should only go to the deserving, dedicated ones among us.
The Captain must be registered at a capital ship registry, with contact details, so that if something happens they may be quickly contacted. This is to allow us to contact you quickly if an unfortunate event should occur.
The warships in question should not leave the Corsair owned systems, contested systems may be entered and engaged only in emergencies, such as when the organized Corsair force in the area calls for assistance.
The warships in questions may also not enter house territory unless contacted by Corsair forces engaged in an organized raid inside enemy territory. This is to ensure that Corsair armor is deployed at lowest cost to fuel reserves whilst providing adequate backup to raiding parties in the field.
Corsai capital ships can leave Corsair owned systems if it is escorted by no less than 3 Corsair vessels of bomber class or lower, or called into the battlefield by the organized Corsair force.
Any violators will be warned and guided to the cause of the problem and how to rectify it. If the warning is ignored the pilot may be asked to retire the vessel, so it can be stripped or refurbished in such a way that benefits the Corsairs. If uncooperative, regretfully, we must disable the vessel in combat to be recycled at Tripoli.
Corsair Gunboats are not affected by this decree, as they take up very little manufacturing time compared to Cruiser and Battleship class vessels.
There are two reasons for this decree. The first being that the number of disabled capital ships has stabilized at a high level, and we need to bring this down to an acceptable level. Natural resources may be plentiful on Crete, but they are not infinite.
The second is that fuel consumption of capital ships, despite the best efforts of our engineers, is high when compared to the same cost of fighters and bombers, while being markedly less effective than said fighters and bombers. We believe that there is a place for capital ships on the battlefield despite this, but we must control the fuel consumption of these vessels. Bear in mind that we must get our fuel from raiding convoys of H-fuel in sigma 13 and MOX in Bretonia. These convoys are not frequent, so action must be taken to ration fuel consumption within our own ranks.
There are simply too many Corsair capital ships being fielded to keep our stocks of fuel at a reasonably safe level. Help us to curb the use of this fuel, and to further the goals of the Corsair nation as a whole.
