Indies VS. Capships.

[Carlos_Benitez]

It is true, the Benitez do have 3 Cruisers (The Rhea (Ximen), the Cronus (Carlos) and the Atlas (Zavier)).
However, these Cruisers are lucky if they get used once every 2 months, and I'm perhaps a little ashamed to admit I don't think the Cronus has ever seen battle.

We also have the Prometheus (Shared Dread) and the Talos (Shared Osiris). I don't believe either have seen battle in months, and the Prometheus in particular is almost never used.
The Talos has been logged on quite regularly in recent weeks, for afew minutes at a time. The reason for this is that we've expanded the Talos' prison deck, and basicly we're collecting enemy pilots such as BHG in our Titans, and bringing them to the Talos for torture and interrogation.

We have a shared gunboat, and around 3 or 4 private ones within the ranks, and I'm proud to say that as far as I'm aware, we are the least likely Corsair clan to be found driving gunboats or other capitals.
We use Titans almost exclusively, and occasionally Bombers if the occasion calls for it. In defence of the Brotherhood, they can say the same.
Although you might occasionally see Corsair capitals in Gamma, making their presence known, I'd challenge you to gather enough evidence to complain that we take them into battle too often. I was talking to Montoya only recently about how the legendary Battleship Talos has become something of a "living museum" as it never sees action, and this has been part of the justification behind expanding it's use as a detention facility; with capitals never seeing battle, it is good for little else.

Dab, whilst I enjoy the complements, you may be a little ill-informed. As far as I am aware, the Benitez refused to be associated with the Warship Registration Act not due to small details in it's text, but because Indipendants where not given the chance to be involved in it's formulation.
We are prepared to accept such a proposal after it has been re-formulated with respected Indipendants such as Ben Laowai or Benito Huarez involved in the drafting process. It is the belief of a good chunk of our familia that it is not moral to force legislation onto indipendants without offering them any kind of a say.

I too am a little confused about the fundamental differences between the Brotherhood-OPG policy and the Outcast one, which you suggest exist.
