Corsair Battleship conceptual ideas

[Montezuma/Kukulcan]

When the alliance does break, the Corsairs are going to need their own version of this ship. Nobody is suggesting changes in stats, but merely a 'corsair' model and a clone of the current ship to be sold on corsair bases with a differing name.

Im actually for changing the stats slightly to match any new model for it.

Not drasticly, but giving it a few extra K armour and slowing the turning down ever-so-slightly, while keeping the armour well below that of a Sarissa, and the turning still that of a light BS.

I think that that would reflect the fact that most of the Osirises are old and battle-worn, and with the Corsair design ethos of 'the bigger and stronger the better', i would think that any repairs/updates provided to the old models would doubtlessly entail adding thick slabs of armour to it, if only to bring it up to date with the most modern hull materials and designs.


Conerning our alliances, the Corsair nation is a very, very nationalistic and imperialistic nation (possibly the worst in Sirius for this), in that all others are regarded as inferior and as little more than 'tools' in a great war on the other Houses/Pirates/anyone who stands in our way, as such, any allies gained would be out of their thirst for profits (from the artifact trade or from piracy, or exemption thereof), or out of fear of conquest (though given the resolve of most unlawfuls in Sirius, the former would be the most likely). As i see it, the Order would not be ones to get mixed up in such bloody, imperialist wars, they are merely trying to protect humanity, the Corsairs want ultimately to conquer and enslave it. So i think from an RP perspective, the main reason the Order would break off an alliance with the Corsairs is that they would probably disagree with our goals of war and conquest (most definately not what they stand for as humanity's protectors).
