Tutorial: Capital Ship Etiquette

[Trevor McFallon]

Well, as for the exp I have with them flying without an AU is not only wasteful but psychotic. For example, a Corsair Dread with a Cap 8 will withstand the brutality of a novatorp equipped bomber only because the pilot may very well run out of ammo before you even touch your shield replenishment.
A battle cruiser working alongside a Cap8 equipped dread will suffer staggering damage if not properly equipped with the right AU. I too, speak from experience. The battle cruiser took some serious damage from the opposing gunboats that had it not been for the backup from the Dread, it would have popped like a thin skinned balloon! AU is essential as the capacity of the cargo hold is not the idea, in regards to trying to make a buck by trade in a Cap. Bad form, period. IF transport is an issue it should be for sensitive and pricey cargo such as SCIDaTa, etc. 3 million a pop? You bet your sweet arse you want it in a properly equipped Cap that can get thru iffy territory ID-wise and if it's a big dollar item, then spend the big dollars and get that puppy cloaked. Then too, if said cargo is going thru iffy territory consider a snub or light freighter that has some ponies behind it. In other words, consider a Dromedary at 425k speeds or the Sunburst. Healthy speeds and healthy loadouts.

That is all....

Always remember to shoot at other humans. The nomads love you for it and telepathically radiate the amusement they feel for the stupidity of the human race. So much for leaving the prejudices and warmongering behind when we polluted Sirius space with our stench.
