Aoi Iseijin General Information and Place to cry your eyes out

Quote tag was getting messed up, so I've used indented italics to quote.

"What is the reasoning behind using Blood Dragon equipment?
Tekagi's followers were, as far as I remember, infected KNF. And Dragons were the ones who fought them." - Chopper

Original Remnants of Tekagi are Ex-KNF, true. But both nomad infected groups (Das Wilde and Aoi Iseijin) try to increase their influence over their ZoI by infecting as much people they can from every side of the fight. Iseijin has BD, GC, Hog & GMG infectees just like Das Wilde has LWB & Hessian infectees and were also working on a Corsair infectee who got lazy and dropped out, so it never happened.

"As far as I am concerned, you should use Chimaeras instead of Katanas on your infected ships, that'd make a lot more sense.
When you add Infernos and Nomad lasers on top of that, you get pretty much something no faction should -EVER- have." - Chopper

Each character uses a ship based on its background. The Katanas you see are Ex-Dragon, I personally have a hunter character flying Chimeara, who is an ex-113th. None of KNF infectees fly Katanas or vice versa, Dragon infectees flying Chimmies.

As for the math for equipment balance, refer to the bold part in the end of my post.

"If that is indeed true, how come there are no infected GC, AFA, Hogosha or GMG?
Also, I'v only seen 113th flying Chimaeras. Every other Kusari Wilde I'v seen was in Katana." - Chopper

113th are a KNF division set up to counter nomad activity in upper kusari, who were later infected themselves and formed the majority of "undercover" infectees. However, there are undercover chars in other factions as well, who fly untagged ships with that faction's ID and only the leader of those factions are ooRPly aware of th fact that those characters are infected.

On the other hand, there are hunters from each faction in Kusari, not just BD. My own hunter, Shugotenshi, is an ex-KNF, flying a Chimaera. Rin Masaki, Jansen's infected character, flying a Blossom, was a GC Elder before being infected. Kuro, Kanga's Hunter is an Ex-Hogosha flying a Black Dragon. Ramirez, a shared ship from Iseijin's early days is an SRPed Ex-Outcast Scimitar. Boss also has a Ex-GMG hunter, Fujiwara Michiyo, flying a Kaichou bomber... Want me to count more? Because most definitely I can.

So, with all due respect, please get your facts straight before coming in and throwing false statements to criticize the faction.

Now, to all the people who complain about the loadouts we use:

Let's do a simple math, and compare the "omg imba!!!" Full Nomad-Inferno Katana to one of the most spammed ships ingame: Full Kraken-Inferno Sabre.

Sabre has 7 forward firing slots, plus a 11k core. Krakens do 556 damage per shot on 4.00 refire, and use 504 EPS. Means a full Kraken Sabre can keep a constant fire for about 4 seconds, dealing 15,568 damage.

Katana has 6 forward firing slots, plus a 10k core. Also, note that it can mount only 4 Kl.10 nomad weapons, and the other 2 have to be Kl.9 nomad guns if we want to get the highest hull damage output. So, Kl. 10 refire 4.00 nomad guns do 590 per shot, while using 480 EPS, and Kl.9 refire 4.00s do 475 damage per shot, using 384 EPS, which means a Katana can hold constant fire for also roughly 4 seconds, dealing a total of 13,240 damage.

Now... I mean no disrespect, but I honestly don't see what's there to cry about.

"=> PvP advantages involved with all the listed equipment
Is it really surprising that it's hard to believe the RP reasons behind all that? Even harder when they are not presented." - Mjolnir

Mjolnir... I respect you for all you've done for this community, but what I'm gonna say might sound bitter to you, so you should note that this is in no way official stance of Iseijin over this matter, but rather my personal opinion as a player part of this community:

Your "PvP Glory" days are over I'm afraid... When you die to a Flashpoint Sabre in your Torp Agama, it's not because "Only if torps would've tracked..." (the way you put it back then), it's just because you haven't played the actual game for so long you're no longer one of the best PvPers on server.

Iseijin how ever, has some of the best PvPers on disco. If they go on raids and "rape everything", it's not because of the gear they use, it's because of the skill level they've achieved through hours and hours of practice. They could do just the same in Flashpoint Eagles, and I've actually seen them do that during the "Liberty's Finest" days. So... I'm afraid if you don't like this situation, the logical move would be finding a "better" community, not trying to downgrade their tech so they'd be at the same performance level as a 5-month-old newbie.

FYI, I'm not sayin this to "save my precious OP tech" as I neither have an Iseijin Katana, nor use Nomad weapons on Any of my Iseijin ships (Apart from Singularity Cannon on my Hunter bomber, which has the same stats as regular SN). Be sure if the same people flying Iseijin Katanoms now, start flying Codie Werewolfs for a month around Liberty, people will start crying about Werewolf being OP as <yeah>.

And again, let me repeat myself, the last part was in no way official stance of Iseijin, but my personal view as a player.
