Err, GMG? *Smack*

[Linkus]

I never said the kusari explorer is not capable of exploring new systems so you can throw your arguement out there

This ship would not have the needed supplies to stay on a search very long.

The infocard clealy states it has enough supplies for years

would find it difficult for a gunboat class vessel to out run a group of fighter scouts.

They can. It's called cruise and countermeasures. If a gunboat can't outrun fighter scouts, what makes you think a battleship can? It would not survive as long against a proper NPC escort anyway, the gunboat can dodge fire far easier and escape.

single battlestar would fall to a nomad battleship? You just said that a kusari explorer could take one on

A single Battlestar would fall to a Nomad battleship AND escort

Note the escort part. You would be severely outgunned.

How would an exploring ship know whether or not is is going into a hostile system it is UNKNOWN. You wouldn't know what your going to find not to mention if the danger is to great why would to risk an entire fleet of ships? Its not like your going to rage war.

A ship that size would not be a good ship to bring to any uncharted system mainly because of it's size.....
If you are searching for a mysterious planet, use a probe? Why would you risk THOUSANDS of lives in a ship you shouldn't have when you can send an unmanned probe instead?

Probes do not cost at all as much as Battleships or actually end up risking lives. You would risk thousands of lives simply to fly a battleship.

If you haven't noticed there are nothing but scout wrecks of the GMG laying around nearly every where in the Omicrons where the Outcasts are. Why the heck would the GMG make the same stupid mistake?

You don't bring a single battleship, oh so vulnerable to all types of enemies, into a completely hostile environment.

Scout's are expendable. If GMG had sent Battlestars into the Outcast areas, they would end up like the now dead Rheinland Battleship. Which would you rather lose, a scout or a battleship?
