Colonial Remnant ID

[Armageddon]

Right my apologies for not replying earlier but i missed the thread (mobile internetz takes ages)

As the Colonial Remnant's Fleet Admiral i am against indies for a simple reason, the nation simply is not big enough to support the vast ammount of ships and vessels it would generate.

As a co-writer of Colonial current RP i believe our full population is around 50,000 to 100,000 tops. Now lets compare that to the (could be wrong) billions of citizens of the houses.

Bretonia, Kusari, Rhineland, Liberty and to a lesser point the Outcasts and the Corsairs. Have the vast amount of people required to manufacture and build a huge fleet of warships. (From RP), The colonials currently have 4 warships which are outfitted for combat (BS class only), Valkyrie, Nemesis, Rubicon and coming soon the Triton. For which there is to be a massive RP for. Which could be already underway have not had much time to check forums.

Plus there is the RP based Warhammer which is an unengined test bed.

From RP you could say we have the Raw resources to build more, but we do not have the manpower to build many of such vessels.

And we all know what indies fly...

Now i joined CR a looong time ago. Seriously, i can tell you now that we are far more open to others than we used to be. We used to restrict those who were in other factions to LTJG (Fighter only) permanantly. Now the multi-faction rule has gone. It has been gone for a long time.

Now i am up for anyone applying, from having 1 day ingame to someone who has been here since the start of disco. I do not care about PVP or RP ability. As long as they are willing to learn.

In a way it is a attempt to restrict the flow of though i hate the term 'lulwuts' i proffer less RP minded peoples from crowding up the area with Zephs Arguses and Hydras. Because honestly we dont want a OC less RP minded VS a IMG/Colonial less RP minded conflict. Somehow i think the server could not take the vast amount of fire from that one.

Ok back to business here, I don't think this would be a good idea. As Baal (Atriedes) said, people can apply to be legal residents of tau 44 (again unheard of a few months ago) so if you have a wish to RP as a CR indy it would be your best bet.

Now i aint against indies, hell i fly several everywhere. If managed well it can be beneficial and i accept there are good indies here. But i think this is a case of the Majority spoiling it for the minority or vice versa. However i am against CR indies. It would say... break the balance, especially in the tau 23 area far too much. Almost as if someone had opened up nomads to indies what minor would be like. Lets just say... heavy lag and leave it at that eh.

Rambling Regards, Armageddon, Fleet Admiral Colonial Remnant.
