' Wrote:That and most traders don't exactly have an army of their friends. In Liberty I try to stay hidden because that is what smuggling is all about. Then what?
The Taus are next door to Alpha. You would be astonished how some slavers can summon a whole Outcast battlegrouw within minutes just to protect their A-Train.
' Wrote:You blow my transport to bits? I doubt that would sit well with Outcasts, Smugglers, Slave Traders and allies of the Outcast.
So that's really my only gripe. No-one can stop a skilled smuggler anyhow. Too many choices etc.
Oh, I don't care if Outcasts, Smugglers, Slave Traders and allies of the Outcasts like what we do or not. If a Xeno demands my cargo I don't have to like it either, but he doesn't care. As long its in RP its fine.
' Wrote:A Battleship PLUS 3 Battlecruisers PLUS assorted smaller craft = FLEET.
Unless I see an official statement from the IMG faction stating they are devoting the resources necessary to maintain this FLEET - then I cannot take this proposal seriously.
I find that hilarious. Each and every indy can have as many caps as he wants, but as soon as it comes to new factions wanting them, a flame war starts.
We already have clearly stated what we intend to do with these ships. They are RP patforms. Since when is RP frowned upon on this server? We are not going to lolraid Alpha or anything along that lines.
Those ships are supposed to be a home away from home, mobule bases if you like. One more reason we use them is to avaid retaliation against regular IMG installations.
Sure its difficult to maintain this 'fleet'(group) but hey, if we can RP that why not? It is a good way to interact with other groups too, pay traders to bring us stuff and whatnot.
For the concerns about shipyards - IMG has a huge installation in Omega 3 for that purpose.
We actually have one of those ships we'd like to have and I don't think this will change soon.
If you don't look for our capships, you'll most likely never see one anyway.
I'd like to hear official IMGs statement about this too, I'm curious how they see it.
Anyway, maybe we'll just scap the idea and create another Oucast/Corsair/Zoner Supercyborg/immigrants from outer space/ghosts/robots/whatever group if thats better?
At least give us a chance and judge us for our RP actions in game and here on the forum and not just because you read 'capital ships' and think 'flame it!'
