HALP! 522nd BG Help.

[Xing]

The average operating cost of a US Navy Nimitz class carrier is estimated to be 160 millions, annually. Realistically speaking, I believe
1. The actual carrier, or even the Atlantis carrier, is a few times larger than the Nimitz
2. As such, its annual operating cost would be multiplied by... a lot.

So, a battlegroup by itself has no mean of income. But it can apparently keep a carrier operating?

The 522nd as such only has one mean of survival, that is, it is the only one that might be able to keep the carrier operational;
Join up with a large faction with enough means to operate such large vessels. I seriously doubt the KGL has the mean (I'm not familiar yet with the rp, so I wont comment too much on it).
You might join up with either outcasts or corsairs, both large organisation that can effectively operate such vessels. But I doubt its a very good decision.
Junkers? They'd probably prefer to scrap such a ship and sell the components before being accused of stealing naval property to keep neutral.

Any other organisation seems a "no". It all has to do with cost efficiency at some point. To function you need the help from a large organisation. That large organisation wants to get something in return however.
