Missile boats

[Zapp]

This is obviously in response to the unlawfuls completely unfair spammage of fighters and bombers. Faced with the dilemma of how to effectively combat this problem (most notably the HF's ability to chew an entire fleet of caps up and spit them out using nothing but 2 Sabres and a bomber or two, or the XA's policy of every member having a bomber), instead of turning to fighters of their own, they decided to adopt anti-fighter loadouts. The result? The HF has two battleships in NY, and could get a third. Obviously its a problem of escalating firepower (I come in a Sabre, I'm met by a cruiser and 2 gunboats, then an HF Spyglass comes out of nowhere), and should be adressed at its core: we (the unlawfuls) are mostly fighter or bomber jocks. If the indy caps (and faction caps too!) would get into a Guardian or what have you, this might just end. Come on, Liberty has the most ships to chose from of any house (4 - 4! - VHFs).

I hope you enjoyed the bit of satire at the beginning, sorry it turned into a semi-off-topic rant...

Edit: heck ya, Stoat, I'll take some
