Cruisers

[JollyRoger]

Thanks for the reply. What is droprep? Do you know where the Rheinland armed forces can be bribed?

You have to have the Guard ID of the faction that has the cruiser - so no getting Zoner Guard ID and then using that to buy an LN dreadnought, for example.

And pretty much the only way to get Guard ID is to get bribes, grind missions, and do assorted things like droprep, rebribe, and such. (There are tricks to speeding things up a bit, which you'll find throughout the forums.)

The Battleship license is required only for battleships, so you don't need one for a heavy cruiser. It's also sold WITH each battleship, so if you decide that you don't like one particular battleship and you want to buy a different one, you can trade the new one out for the old one. (The Battleship license also acts as the scanner, and if you want to have one, you're more than welcome to put one on a starflea.)

One other note - there is no restriction on the number of battleships that you can own now. (People ask that one frequently. There USED to be, but not anymore.)
