' Wrote:What is the requirement to fly a capital ship in the KNF? I see lots of your pilots flying Gunboats and Destroyers without any crew on routine patrols quite often that would be better suited to a Chimera or a bomber.
Lieutenants and up can ask for a GB. But yes there are a lot of them in KNF.
Captains and up can ask for a Destroyer.. and there are ATM 3 Destroyers in KNF. Out of which only mine flies a lot.
It patrols only TLs and only the most trafficked ones, reason for it is that I got tired of taking on GBs alone in a bomber and/or taking ages to down a cruiser (and there are many of those around Kusari). At the time I'm on, there usually is no other KNF online. With the Destroyer I can take on anything up and including a BS. With bomber it's basically GB max (in reasonable time/effort).
My Kusari dessie has constantly 50 Crewmen, 50 food, 50 Oxygen, 50 water, 30-50 H-Fuel, some pharmaceuticals, 5 VIP members of General Staff and my Luxury Captain's Chair on board.
It's never risked in dangerous missions and has never been destroyed. It's credited with 5 Cruiser, 4 GB, 4 bomber and 2 VHF kills.
