Liberty Navy [LN] Feedback Thread

Why does [LN] wants to use Zoner guns?

a) Because it makes [LN] roleplay better?
b) Because some people want to get any slight PvP advantage?

Furys are ok guns not too good, not too bad, fact is that they give LN ships something they don't have at the moment.

Zoner GB guns are simply better due to their "concentrated" firepower, this is a result of the first being intended for the 4 gun large Zoner GB and due to promises of "zoners only"
It's hard to keep track where this started but lately I do feel it's getting out of hand.
After BD fighters/Catamarans with Krakens/Coladas/Infernos were quite widespread in 4.84 Admins/Community would reduce this in the end of 4.84 and start of 4.85 to almost non-existent problem.

The Liberty Navy wants to use zoner guns for a very specific reason. That is to force the local (liberty) zoner population into maintaining it's neutrality. We have already forced the zoners into making their position definate and concrete, with an action (handing us the ability to use their guns) to back it up. Actually using the guns to shoot pirates allows us to see how they (the zoners) will react if these groups which have been supplied with zoner guns for a long time put pressure on the zoners. This is why were are using a limited and small number of zoner guns.

Furys tend towards the underpowered side of things, in my opinion.

Zoner gunboat turrets tend towards being overpowered. I know this because I get shot at by vast numbers of zoner turreted tridentes and kusari explorers. This is the reason I intend on using these turrets sparing, if at all. I may well strap a set onto my gunboat, and reserve it for the purpose of levelling the playing field with those pirates who flap around in zoner gunned tridentes.

The previous (over two years ago now) deal with the bretonians for the use of splitters was forbidden by the admin team on a fairly shaky principle, while many other groups were exchanging tech on a far more extreme/pvp-oriented level. For example the Corsairs giving Tizona del cids to the =CR=, when the two groups have little to no contact with one another, which was completely ignored by the admin team at the time.

Military groups from nations who have good diplomatic relations with each other often exchange military goods and equipment. This is nothing unusual or out of the ordinary. Saying that it is bad roleplay to do so is a slightly odd idea.
