Should the LSF get a battleship?

[Foror]

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.

reconisasance platform.. it shouldnt really be in a place that its gonna easily be found by enemies to beginwith- say place it 15k above the playing plane if you must.

if you intend it to be an intelegence and reconisasance platform, then it would need to remain hidden and undetected, and that would be its greatest weapon -_- if you want it battle hardy i sugest you use a battleship and use lsf tags and do the same thing out int he open, as you imply.
generlally it would have escorts to protect it. shields and a strong hull.

i discourage it having any major fire power to discourage lol what type of people trying to take it into battle at all. maybe transport turrents at most and make everything else capital ship grade, but the design of the ship you would want to be stealthy, or at least as stealthy you can make a cruiser while maintaining liberties basic designs.


as for your other statement "Apologies, but if RL is not FL, why would HALO be FL?"
only thing i feel appropriate to inform you is HALO =/= RL and RL =/= military in space.

i only presented the excerpt of halo as a model, because it gives the best idea of how a central intelegence oriented cruiser might be designed and used- its greatest defence is to be undetected.

in that book series, that cruiser never exchanged fire in battle.

so like i said, if you want a lsf cruiser that can participate in effectivly exchanging fire, i'd sugest using a cruiser that already exists and using it with your lsf tags

To everyone saying that the LSF doesn't need a battleship:

They already designed two. TWO. They lost them both.

The Spyglass, and the Osiris.

I appreciate the idea, but I think an SRP Spyglass would do the trick.

Reconnaisance and research role-playing platform. Player-controlled. *Facepalm.*

It would be SRP-only.

I already said that, if you bothered to read my other post in this thread, I was just pointing out that the RL argument held little water anyway.

Right.

We do, however, there are some problems with it, as I already explained in my previous post. XD.

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.

all i can really say is, why not have somthing like that?

for example, looky at this.
http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php?ti...earcher_ID
and theres a ship or two withouot guns that cater to the use of using that id.

in otherwords, somthing like this would have a strict roleplay purpose anyway. non competitive.
and seeing as there's the researcher id and similar, i dont see why my opinion deserves a facepalm.:P

i thoguth about looking up a facepalm picture but i'm not gonna @_@

we(you and i) have been discussing: if the Liberty security force wants a Cruiser for an intelegence platform, a possibility would be to base it on roleplay, rather than anything competitive since theirs already cap ships that fill the pvp needs of Liberty.

you facepalmed that idea.

then i used the researcher ID to back up my point that there are items in use for specific role play. i'd also like to point out that there are people using that researcher ID too for roleplay. first major mining rout i ever did a big borderworld asked me for one unit of niobium for research.

Yes, because I already role-play an experimental siege cruiser and get weird looks when it does something experimental.

With a new ship that would not happen. Not to mention, the LSF would have some sort of research and reconnaissance capital. (They built the Osiris and Spyglass for the same purposes, so obviously they have a use for such a ship.)

Edit:

You edited while I was posting.

Anyway, what is the relevance of the Researcher ID? We are talking about the LSF?

And if their last two prototypes were stolen, this would be kept in secrecy and there would be very few prototypes made. That RP would fit the highly-restricted nature of it, yes?

I think if their success rate over the last multi-billion credit, research Capitals is 0%, why make even more to be plundered or robbed?


I think the LSF have probably resorted to shooting their own engineers to keep it hushhush...



But yes, it does fit the restricted nature.
