' Wrote:No Rheinland Military ship is "for sale" to non-military personnel; not the Rheinland Bomber, not the Wrath, not the Valkyrie and certainly not the capital ships. Those ships are assigned to military personnel by the government and the Libertonian authority is aware of that. So, if you are flying one of Rheinland's military grade ships, it's only natural for them to take you for someone associated with the Rheinland government. As in directly working for their military. If you have one of those ships and it isn't tagged and IDed RM, then something is very wrong. Same goes the other way around.
The Libertonians having exceptions about Humpbacks and Behemoths (Advanced Trains?) or Rheinlanders having exceptions about Mammoths (Whales?) is a bit of an overreaction unless these ships are actively breaching the embargo between the Houses. Since these transports are civilian ships, they have been sold indiscriminately throughout Sirius and it's nothing like a stretch to imagine a legit law abiding Libertonian flying a Behemoth or a Rheinlander in a Mammoth.
(though I must admit my RM character is seriously disturbed by the Libertonian design of the Mammoth).
Im not using any RH ships personally, Im little offensive, cos I saw Navy people (Indies, but still) shooting people in Behemonth three times during last 2 weeks, and I find that rather stupid and disturbing. Sorry.
I buy things I don't want to make an impression on people I don't like.
