On Xenos

[Reverend Del]

As the resident higher up in the XA online at the moment let me take a few moments to address these concerns in a sensible fashion.

1) Supernova antimatter cannon. Yes we use it, yes frankly it's becasue if we don't then every Xeno encounter turns into a slaughter. Yay for the fun of that one. At least with an SN attached to our bombers, the majority of which are Preagles not Taiidans (in the XA at least) we can make a good account of ourselves and prevent the dockraping of Xeno pilots undocking from Ouray.

2) Taiidan Bomber, firstly this is listed as a civilian ship in the readme, thusly when the Admins were asked way before the XA came into being, and the admins were asked I can assure you, the answer was a resounding yes. But frankly before we look at the Taiidan we should look at every other ship we are allowed to use. Well we start off with a starflier so that's no problem, but the Tracker and Blazer are sold on bases emminently hostile to the Xenos, so they're out. The Hawk is sold on Honshu, hostile and out of our ZOI by quite some distance, the Griffin equally so, the Falcon is way out of our reach, the Eagle is on the other side of the sector, so is the Crow. The civilian bomber again out of our ZOI, so we should be limited to starfliers then to be totally within RP...

Also within the XA there are three Taiidan bombers, in comparison to our roster which requires all folks out of boot camp to have a bomber ready for use, they belong to the Squadron Leader, Dusty Lens, and to both the XA Wing Leaders, Zavier and myself. However I cannot speak for the independents as we have little to no control over them.

The Xenos RP has improved immensely since the XA came into being, largely because we try to lead by example. We take indies with us to interdict, to give the navy a bloody nose, to raid Pueblo and Detroit. Why just the other day a raidning party went along to Detroit to pick us up some supplies, yammering in system all the way, not a peep from other folks. Ignored the Xeno horde come to rob a munitions depot. Let's look at that before we complain about the kit the Xenos use.

Edit: Again wrong numbers. 5 taiidans and the ranks should include Royal
