Should the LSF get a battleship?

Haha, they got to steal an Order Cruiser if you want a sensor-machine.:P

LSF having a Battleship wouldn't make much sense. Intelligence agencies would need a Battleship for?
If they ever encounter large amount of hostiles or a very large threat (Capitals) they can always call on the Navy for assistance.
Its like (RL Example) giving the CIA the USS Missouri

Well Discovery FL isn't RL, (almost) anything can happen. I mean, the Corsairs have a dreadnoughts, and their a nation of pirates (yes I know they don't use the dreadnought for piracy but still). The LSF ID already allows cruisers, I have one of my own. I don't use it for combat, but rather as a support vessel for recon operations in Minor and Hamburg/Bremen. This battleship could be used for the same thing, support, rather than combat. Like I said I would like to see it become a Base in Alaska, or any other ystem bordering Rheinland and the order (preferably the Order because LSF has been in a war with them for a longer time).

So, I've been thinking a lot lately. If the LSF originally designed the Osiris and Spyglass, how about they get their very own unique battleship combining the best aspects of the two. Long range recon platform with life support, large hanger bays, cloaking tech (in RP), the works.

Naturally the ship would be SRP only, and I think there should only be one in existance, but I just thought it might be a fun idea to toss around.

Hello,

in my oppinion LSF as intelligence agency would never really own any capital ship, they wouldnt want to becose it would go from their budget and in times when one pathetic bomber can take out flottila of capital ships its not really good idea, i think it would work more like that LSF would ask Liberty Navy for capital ship if they need to and they would get one with or without the crew depends on mission ofc.

Question of some hiding forward base?

Well why not, instead of battleship, give LSF slow moving, cloaking, armed to teeth with station guns asteroid. Something like moving Kodiak station (just rock part ofc), station that could "blend in" in Alaska even with cloak off, real hidden forward base.

There is no point to build battleship for spying, you dont pay 25mil for heavy mortar for it to rust on ship that wont come 50k close to enemy and is just posing as satelite;)

Instead of giving us a BS, why not create more LSF bases ? Kodiak is far away from anything, most of us must dock on others bases when we are in New York, or somewhere else in Liberty space. Why not an hidden base in NY ?

EDIT or no turrents

The crew is role-played as being naval but the ship comes under the command of the LSF? (Which would more than likely happen considering CIA-like agencies have commandeered military assets before.)

Quite a good example, except you mean USS Missouri (BB-63) and I mean the USS Missouri (SSN-780), or more appropriately PCU Missouri (SSN-780), but eh, we will skip the technicalities. because either way, a Virginia-class submarine would be more than likely to have CIA or NSA connections or take orders directly from them or a relevant agency.

All of that however, is irrelevant, as RL is not FL.


Anyway, as a member of the =LSF=, BHG| and the Order High Command, I am a tad conflicted.

I will be the one of the ones using it, as in the =LSF=, I am SecR&D and in the Omicrons I would be doing deep reconnaissance. Either way, the following shows how I sounded out the idea.

Is there a dire need for it? No.
Is there a need for it? Yes.
What is the need for it? A role-playing platform. Currently, my experimental LSF cruiser just gets weird looks when it does things people do not expect it to do. It would fill that niche.
Should it be a BS? Eh. A cruiser would be fine, if people are that scared of a BS.
How many should there be? Less than 10.

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

in question of should an intelegence agency have its own cruiser wasnt really anwsered here...

i think the point that some one tried to make in the quote was, an intelegence agency doesnt need a cruser and doesnt engage in battle, nesasarily.

when we talk about a cruiser naval intelegence can use, this is what i think of:

The Stealth Cruiser was a Starship in the UNSC fleet [1]. Stealth Cruisers are the largest Prowler-class vessels built, the length of a UNSC Destroyer. There is only one known ship of the class in existence, the UNSC Point of No Return, due primarily to the sheer expense of manufacturing the stealth ablative coating that rendered it invisible from radar and other sensors and limited visual camouflage, and the problems incurred maintaining this ablative layer.

The UNSC Point of No Return was constructed in parts and then assembled in deep space. It was completely radar-invisible and when the baffled engines ran below 30%, the craft was dark as interstellar space. This ship was the wartime field command and control platform for the UNSC Naval Intelligence units. Very few people have ever seen the ship and even less have actually been aboard this vessel.
[edit] Interior

The inside of the ship was just as mysterious, with stainless-steel walls brushed to a white reflective shield, as was most of the ship's insides. The floors oddly enough weren't the same white color as the walls, being described as metal grates. It also contained a Faraday Cage, completely sealed off from the rest of the ship, known as "the Cage", where meetings of an extremely classified nature could be conducted in absolute secrecy. It is unknown whether, if there are other ships of the class, they possess similar chambers.

(been a while since i read the series.. anyone that likes freelancer btw might enjoy the book series for halo xD though, i think allt his detailed info comes mostly formt he last one i read, Ghosts of Onyx)


essentially, if you want an intelligence force to have a cruiser, i'd sugest it be build off this idea, and have as few guns as possible to avoid it being used for combat. something like that should be nearly strictly role play.

if you want a combat cruiser, the navy's still got em.

Yes, it should have one, and it should be used as a reconnaissance platform. (Apologies, I thought I did make the clear in my last post.)

Apologies, but if RL is not FL, why would HALO be FL?

Unfortunately, people will still attack it, so yes, it does need the means for it to defend itself, however, I would support it having less guns.
