MM Ship

[Ivan]

Do they have their own stations? Besides, being able to fix something is much different than designing what you're fixing. I can fix my computer, I can place the parts where they need to go, etc. but that doesn't mean I could design one, make the blueprints/schematics/etc just because I can fix a computer, for example.

Doesn't prevent MMs from hiring highly specialized engineers, since MMs are indeed rich and well-known. (I doubt conquering so many goverment contracts would be easy job for little group; but it's Disco).

Actually both the Eagle and the Sabre are built by Zoners. At least that is part of OSI's role play.

As for why Zoners were brought into the topic of a generic merc ship? Take a look at the model and read the first post. The model takes elements from the Zoner gunboat, thus the modeler decided to say that Zoners designed the ship for open sale (or directly for the MM).

Would be kind of weird to claim that BMM designed and built a ship that is based of a Zoner design no?

I have to dissappoint you, Eagle's most likely to be built by DSE or Ageira - it's Libertonian and has some "Libertonian" features in it (like civilians actually flying military-grade ships - probably Liberty designed those the first). The only ship-building corporations in Liberty are Ageira (which builds certain ship parts, rather) and DSE, and they both are interested in having something for free sale.

I see some passive agressivness in that, but maybe it's just me. Anywho, no big deal.
Not that I'm complaining, I have no problems with the ship being civilian or something of the sort. But I need to ask....why?

The reasons I want this to be a a MM line.... Well, first of all, tons of other factions are getting their own shipline. I don't see how they're different. Certainly, the roleplay for a snub line for MM is there as well. And, most importantly, it could attract the much needed new players. As it is now, it's far more convenient to be an indie merc, for a whole bunch of reasons. A shipline would be a good motivator.

I'm MM, but I'll say: if we're getting boring and die, then let it be so. :\

And stop getting zoners to anything around here. That is already hillarious how zoner movement rised from some outcasts (not mean the faction) to billions of people who flying strongest capitals in game, running trade fleets of 5000 cargo ships compared to hugest house corporations and having stations all over around and designing 2\3 of new ships. I think it's already came too far so it will be good to at lest to hold on with adding even more zoner stuff.

Also ship will be good if it'll get some fins and wings. Will be good to go as generic ship, once designed for MM by some small shipbuilding company and then ship made it's way to the black market so anyone can use.

Indeed, Zoners are getting overused. But if designer wants to keep this ship unaffiliated, then Zoners or IMG are the best his preys - IMG is hostile to MM, though.
