The "job" of the military

[Ceoran]

Alluding to the Stationary Battleship placement; of course you can't move stationary Battleships, but you can RP a Battleship in the style of a stationary Battleship!

Battleships are more of a deterrent than a pirate hunter. If Battleship pilots behaved more responsibly they could fulfil the job of flashpoint holder. As far as my experience goes, if a trader/miner can get close to a Battleship it is safe from pirate attack, at the very least as an escort to a friendly base or real stationary battleship.

Let's imagine that scenario in the Rock-filled Omega-7 with a Rheinland-turtle full of Solaris-turrets... this won't work out as you might think due to at least two reasons:

- The battleship can barely move in there while a pirate-bomber will simply stay behind the rocks and blow the miners from there if they don't pay
- Solaris turrets don't work very well on huge ships.

Plus there's that rules-issue.
