Corsair Osiris Refit

[Carlos_Benitez]

In RP, the Benitez "need" the Osiris because we don't believe we can RP having the resources to build, crew and run a Dreadnought.
(As my friend Enrico pointed out...Dreads are like flying cities with up to and perhaps over 500 crew).
We (like the Order back in 800 A.S) are a smaller "special ops" type organisation that would much rather have a smaller strategic vessel. We also believe passionately about the appropriate RP use of warships as opposed to RP unsustainable large fleets. We therefore have 1 Osiris which we believe we can crew with 70 people, which isn't too bad.

But, weather or not the Corsairs "need" 2 battleships is surely irrelevant.

This idea is mostly about aesthetics; making a Corsair Osiris look like it was built by corsairs and modified by corsairs, rather than rolling off an Order production line, and putting to rest concerns that Corsair Osirises are an abuse of Order ships.

Even if it's just a re texture, that's fine too. Making it look dirty and battle-scarred purely by texture would do the job, making the Osirises belonging to the Corsairs look much less pristine and Order-ish.
Afterall, Corsairs don't waste resources polishing our hulls like the LSF would have done with the Osiris prototype, and wouldn't wait for shiny chrome-ish metal to become available for a hull-panel-replacement when some brown Corsair gunmetal would do.
A re-texture also wouldn't reduce the build-quality of the model.
I'm not really bothered either way about battle-stats. RP, continuity and plausibility are my priorities.

((as an aside, I truly believe ANYONE who mentions "cannibalism" in-game when referring to the Corsairs should be santioned for OORP docking, as you've clearly been reading rumours that non-corsairs shouldn't have seen. There is also no proof that the testimony of that nutter in the Crete bar is true))
