While the lore of the factions is they managed to hold their own in the 80 year war by just spamming snubs against Rheinland caps, that's not exactly how things play out ingame nowadays and gameplay-wise, GMG is currently in the uncomfortable position of having to go up against 3 different factions with full caplines while having no caps of their own. So, to even the odds it's time GMG gets some caps of their own to throw at Rheinland and Hispania.

This has already been in the works for a while, with input from GMG official faction and balance team, and it's finally in a clean enough state to get a more public showcase. The potential balance for this, at least for the time being, is likely to be a Light BS with a FWG. Specifics are still TBD. Mep annoyed and bribed me into doing this. Blame Mep.

What's Next?

There's also a few other toys in the works for GMG. So far they're all that the early sketchy stage, so the BS will probably make it into the game first and the rest will follow later with a bit of a gap.

The following links are just sketches and mockups for preview, so expect them to change a fair bit once they gets their turn on the chopping board.

New GMG Snubline and Freighter with a style heavily influenced by Kaichou and more consistent with the new capline. If you're a fan of the existing GMG snubs, no need to worry, those won't be replaced by these. Specifics are still up to the dev team to decide, but the most likely suggestion for the time being would be to open up a new "Sigma Civilian (Lawful)" techcell for those ships to comfortably settle in. InRp, after designing and producing a new snubline GMG just decided to throw the surplus of their old line on the open market.

GMG Cruiser (pardon the mess) so the BS doesnt feel lonely in the cap line. This one's still a super-early mockup so the finished ship may or may not look anything like this, but this is the general idea at least for now.
