BHG Warships. A flawed concept?

[Jinx]

when it comes to what faction "should" or "should not" make use of capital warships - the BHG are indeed among those few factions that have a reason to use them. - not to use them like they use the hammerhead - but they have a reason to use them.

there are 2 official WARS going on disco ( in 4.84 ) - one war is between kusari and bretonia - a fully fletched war, including fleet operations, invasions, ambushes, lots of murder and unjustice - well, basicly all the stuff that we perceive as part of a war.

the other official war that is going on is.... no, - not outcast vs. corsairs... and not corsairs vs. hessians, those are hedge conflicts among neighbours - little battles of no significance in the greater terms - conflicts that rage but are not so much war-like.
the only other official war that is taking place is indeed the BHG vs. the order. - both of those factions make use of capital warships in disco. - that is not cause it is need to have capital warships for a war ( see GMG vs. rheinland ) but because it is suggested that in order to survive in such remote systems like the omicrons - a warship fleet is necessary.

we all know that the chances to survive are like 10 times greater when you re flying a light fighter - than they are when you re flying a battlecruiser... but we re speaking in terms of roleplay... and in terms of roleplay, the chances to survive are greater in a capital ship.

there is quite some lore suggesting that a larger ship = safer. - it is ( was ) written in the ID card of the albatross IMG BC, its suggested in some zoner rumors and in the BHG ID cards for some ships and station rumors.

all that are reasons why a faction makes use of capital ships. ( capital ships = ships of a certain size, that can act independly up to a certain extend and that put a very thick wall between the space, which is usually considered to be hostile - and the crew )

then we have a WAR. - which asks those factions that see a need to travel such deep space in capital ships to make use of capital WARships instead. - so they equip their large ships with the tons of armour with dozens of weapons - cause its a war ... a war in deep/remote space.

this is what a character would think of being "reasonable" when he thinks of what ships you need to fight a war waaay off from the core.



all that says nothing about how the BHG warships ruin other players gameplay, mind. - but since you asked about a "flawed concept"... no the concept is not flawed at all, the concept itself is sound and logical.

all the rest........... is up to the players
