' Wrote:A nice idea, but, for balance reasons, I wouldn't have its members trade guns, for instance. A Rheinland deserter would keep his Wrath, and use only Rheinland gear, for instance. You wouldn't strap Splitters to it.

Covered, naturally.

Thankye.
' Wrote:I imagine pirate ID would be perfect, and maybe take on some illegal mercenary jobs, perhaps for corporations. For instance, taking jobs from, say, Kruger, to hassle Daumann, BMM and IMG in the Omegas.
Lawful groups with unlawful missions, yeah I can dig that, but no lawful missions.
' Wrote:I'd probably stick to fighters, since their goals are very small scale. I imagine any gunboat crew desertion would end up with the crew murdering each other. I'd also suggest that, for instance, if a Bretonian deserted, he only desert with a single ship. So, he'd have a Templar, but no Challenger. He could maybe buy a Roc. This is similar to what QCP do, originally using Bretonian ships, but most new boats purchased being civilian.
Of course, I never saw gunboats entering the fray, and only at MAX a single bomber each of Liberty, Bretonia, Kusari, and Rheinland origin, maybe even less. It was meant to be a swarm of military fighters who chewed stuff to bits and had a freighter nearby to pick up scraps, then run it to their Prison Liner base located far away and store it for later selling.

They're a squad of deserter/brigands. No army; the name is an ego trip and nothing more. No worries about that.
