Corsair Ships

[Carlos_Benitez]

Hola.
As some of you may know, im the leader of the Corsair Benitez family. I recently moved here from a Vanilla server, and im already a big fan of this mod and the RP server.
However, something bugs me allot...Corsair Ships. In an RP sense, the Corsairs are meant to be the best ship builders in Sirius, and their gunboat fits with this...but the rest of their capital ships fall very very short.
Firstly, the battleship Osiris, for those who dont know, was originally a Liberty prototype, stolen from the Shipyards in Alaska by the Order. Somehow, it ended up being sold by the Corsairs..with many now patroling Delta with Corsair captains. This seems very wierd, to see what is essentially a Liberty ship in the hands of the Corsairs.
Also, the Osiris' armour is worse than the Liberty Dreadnought, and it has less turrets. This is an RP flaw, as the Osiris was originally a prototype ship built for the Liberty Navy, and so therefore would be expected to be better than their standard Battleship.
Perhaps if we had a good Battleship, other Corsairs would be less likely to conduct invasions with 5 Osirises just to match their opponent's 1 or 2.

Now, moving onto our Cruiser, the Huntress. Im afraid I refuse to buy one. Its the Reman Warbird Scimitar out of Startrek Nemesis, and considering it's shape, it's way oversised. That makes it apparently as difficult to get through asteroids as a large dreadnought. Its also useless in combat, having tested one on a friend's private simulation server.

Even the Lane-Hackers have a decent Battleship, a small group of disgruntled Ageria employees, according to the game iteself. Our sworn enemies, the Outcasts have a huge Dreadnought, and an excellent Cruiser.


Onto the main issue...my family want to buy Cruisers...and I dont want to begin powerplay, so I want to get 1, to share, just like our Battleship. However, im concerned that if I buy anything half-decent, I will get set upon by half the server complaining about compromising roleplay. I dont want to shatter roleplay, and I dont want to spoil the game for anyone, or fob anyone off with the pitiful and overused excuse that we "stole it", but its my feeling that a huntress in the fleet would do more harm than good, and aside from anything else, I would be irritated every time I saw it.

Does anyone have any suggestions reguarding a Cruiser currently available, that I can purchase for the family, that isnt completely useless (360 fire with atleast 60% of its turrets, etc), that wont obliterate RP, or have everyone breathing down our neck?
