Harvester Cruiser

[Jinx]

as i said - a few "special" chars that use the ships are no problem. - and i don t care if they got through the approval process or not - thats totally insignificant imo ... it doesn t improve RP to be improved and it doesn t mean the RP is inferior if they haven t... .


but a few things must be kept in mind.

the ships are designed based on a rough concept WITH the harvester idea. - they don t have this look, cause i felt like it at that time.... but it was a feedback process that got to this shape. - there is an intention behind them to look like that - and that intention is anchored in the harvesters origin.

the harvesters have no "canon" history or RP, cause they are a custom faction. but since the ships are based on THEIR needs and ideas.... i would expect RP that uses these ships to build on the RP based on the harvesters ( on how the ships came into being )

i had a longer story about how the zoners triggered the production of those vessels written up - but due to the length of the text - it was shortened to a more default length ( well, we cant really write a whole novel into an ID card... )


all that has NO significance when its about rules. - but its background knowledge about the ships. - these ships are NOT AI ships, they are harvester ships - and they stay harvester ships cause they were designed as those.

that doesn t mean they cannot be used otherwise. - but they are as much a generic AI unit - as the zoner juggernaut is a battleship. - or as much a harvester ship as the zoner juggernaut is meant to be an antonomous mini-colony that is supposed to be able to supply itself with life support and everything that is needed for a small zoner colony.

so - imo.. its good manners to ask the harvesters and RP based on THEIR idea of the ships. - its not a rule... but like i said.... good manners.
