BHG was perfect before the mercs were nerft down. - after that, every scum went to join the BHG faction and the reputation is now ruined for a long long time. - one must be ashamed to be BHG, even if you try hard to RP.
when you nerf the BHG to smaller ships - you have two problems...
- a whole line of ships is gone
- the same that went from mercs to BHG will join the next best faction ( zoners / junkers )
and i do NOT accept another faction to be ruined like that. - form a personal point of view, i don t mind them all join junkers as much as i care about zoners of course.... but what then. - nerf junkers / zoners to small ships? - keep doing so each update? - no, there must be other solutions.
about BHG going through gamma to reach delta. - no, i don t think so.
when its about the game lore and the logic. - reinforcements would go the safest way possible.
- liberty, kusari, tohoku, delta
but the playerfactions blocked that logical route - its unlikely that the guild sends their reinforcements through a pirates home system - how silly would that be.
right now - its their only choice though, due to BHG bans - which imo - are ... while mildly justified.. not beneficial. - a BHG that wants to play a core member must go through gamma right now - and then the corsairs complain about the train of BHG capital ships passing through their system, when the BHG should rather use different routes. - BHG caps exist, they have much more RP base than most other capital ships ( dragons, corsairs, outcasts ) - they have a disco lore about being at war ( the only other lore about such a great conflict in the entire of disco is kusari / bretonia )
it is not about defending the BHG, but its about realizing that we leave the BHG not much of a choice anymore. - they must not do what they are bound to do ( they ARE bound to be substitute police at jumpholes and gates in the lawful systems, a task that we deny them ) - we want their caps to be in the omicrons, but get annoyed when they appear anywhere but there - and even there, people get annoyed about them. - we must decide what we want - in a bigger picture, not just the very local politics. - i can understand that liberty says "ban them" ... i can understand that kusari says "ban them" ... i can understand that the corsairs are dead annoyed. - but yet, i see no alternative for one of the major warfaring facitons with a lot more RP reasons to have capital ships than pretty much any other faciton.
if someone comes up with an alternative ( except - nerf the ID, which is no option of previously explained reasons ) - i d love to listen.
