a question for junkers

[jshkornmiller]

Why do you want a GB, if your char is a peaceful character? You could also use a Turanic Raider Freighter, which is even armed to the teeth for a peaceful character and offers the same holdsize for lesser price and maintenance costs.

Oh and Lib GB was on top of the "to nerf" list.:D

The only reason i wanted the gunboat was so i could sweep through the mission to get my gaurd rep, then when 4.85 came out, i would procure the salvage frigate. that was all.

EDIT: I forgot about that ship also. but i just got the collector. I'm only going to be using it for mission until i get guard rep

We use the IMG gunboat and were approved as official with it on our list. It is the only "lawfully accepted alternative we have.

As a faction that is "tolerated" by lawfuls, flying criminal warships in house systems seems more oorp than going to a non-house company and buying their gunboat.

New ships in the new mod are eagerly anticipated here. Will be great to have definitive Junker vessels.

By the way, whoever designed the Collector, great ship.

That was Doom.

@Darth_Malak: I got my Junker guard tag in the CSV, only with Xenos as hostile, but i wont tell how. Could make some player angry and my Junker char a hard life.

Since he never goes into Kusari the incorrect reputation with factions there is a minor concern.

The "fast track" to a fairly balanced Junker rep is to take missions from Rochester. Try to limit them to missions in the "New Jersey Debris Field" and against Xenos only.

The most linear means is a Junker bribe at Rochester followed by the missions.

If one can't afford the bribe, I have heard a rumor that destroying the "police depot" boxes (not DSE) near the Detroit Munitions gate lane ring next to Newark Station will push your rep towards Junker (and down with police).

Finally, shooting large numbers of Xenos is not only therapeutic and a service to mankind but it also will rapidly boost your Junker rep (though lowering IMGs).

All of these ccan be done with a CSV or even a starflier. Collector is great for them but a CSV is more than adequate.

Good luck!

I use the IMG GB personally. I'm slowly working towards that guard tag.

The only complaint I've ever gotten about it was from a BH BC pilot who had order missile turrets mounted.
