I do many many times. You just never look at those posts because they don't reach the required bashing levels.
' Wrote:On your capship argument; GMG uses only gunboats, and strikecraft, and does not use cap ships because it is just simply not practical in the gas clouds.
Gunboats are capships. If you don't agree with me, check admins. Its officially a capship. So yes. You do use capships.
' Wrote:And the Eagle is manufactured in Liberty, check it's infocard.
Infocard checked, scoured, and now posted.
Eagle Wrote:The Eagle stands vigil over the economic interests and, therefore, the ideological interests of Liberty. With its maxed-out power rating and reinforced armor plating, it is the most sophisticated and advanced vessel in the Civilian class. All in all, it delivers the maximum defensive potential and punishing offensive firepower that credits can buy.
Yes, it says it 'stands vigil over the economic and idealogical interests of Liberty.' However, not a peep about where it is built. Therefor we have nothing to go on other than the actual sell points. Both of which are Zoner. One a guard, the other a major base. One in the same system, the other only one jump, from their shipyard. Hence; Thats where its built. Selling point would be close to the construction point.
' Wrote:H-Fuel is still the most commonly used type of fuel, and is still being exported.
Yes it is. But Deuterium is growing, while H-fuel is declining. Add Gallia's fuel source to that and you'll find GMG's economic backbone isn't so solid. Also, see below.
' Wrote:Samura, I see no mention of them having any success of mining H Fuel, please back this up.
Go check Hokkaido. Rumors, News, and infocards in the system. Samura is mining H-fuel there, and its a well-known fact. There is also 3 Samura Gas Miners in Hokkaido.
' Wrote:GMG also transports most of it's own fuels.
Wrong. Kishiro transports the majority. Samura transports a fair portion, in spite of the tense relations between them. Samura picks up loads from Aomori regularly. GMG transports perhaps 10% of their output. Further, look at GMG NPCs.. They don't even have major transport ships. The GMG Miner ship was added, not vanilla. Plus its a mining ship, not a real transport at that. GMG transports a very small amount of their own fuel.
' Wrote:GMG has 5 bases, and an extra one in 4.85; maybe two.
One extra. And this point is moot. You'll still have less. Don't forget that Outcasts and Corsairs are getting 3 or more that I know about.. Zoners are getting 4 or more.
' Wrote:Total of six, maybe seven bases if we get two instead of one in 4.85.
6-7. Refer to above.
Thats 6-7 compared to 12 or more. Let alone Zoners 19.
