Core and BH ships

[Lusitano]

Hey

So with the Core ID you can have BH ships at 100%, but the other way around no ... i understand the first part because i'm here since 4.85, so i know that the Core camed from the BH that went to the Omicrons and all that stuff, but why not the other way around, BH can't can't fly Core ships? But the most strange is that Interspace Commerce can fly both BH and Core ships!! Why this duality of criteria? It is something in the lore that i'm missing?

Thanks in advance

Hey there, Lustiano!

Interspace Commerce are the big name financiers behind the Core, as I understand it.

Enkidu that i understand ... big ships and stations don't come cheap! but why IC need Core ships if they can have others like commpanies like them? My question is why IC 100% and Bh 0% on Core ships!! It is more curiosity and ... also the fact i do like more the Core design than BH, and i also thinking on making a BH char ...

Core are originally not BHG though, they're more like freelancers that no longer are, afaik.
BHG tech tree makes little sense though, they're extremely limited compared to other 'mercenaries', especially since vanilla lore for the guild means a lot of them have been pirates before.

But on the flip side they have more justification to pew someone in general with their ID, and inRP are probably more likely to join a fight/get a contract.
They ride that weird space inbetween freelancer and lawful in that they can help the lawfuls but can't really press someone for breaking the law, either.
I have 4 ships that are BHG right now and it definitely colours the experience compared to, say, an FL ID

tl;dr though, core has nothing to do with the BHG as far as I'm aware.

One of these days, there will be a clever, stylish and/or funny signature here.
This is still not that day, however.

Dratai in the long good old days, around FP11 you would see BH capital ships and not Core, BH id said they could even have capital ships but just outside house space so somewhow the Core are group that It drifted from the BH and went up a few more levels, becoming a full military power, while BH is what the names say ... bounty hunters and providing some security services.

[Dratai]

Yeah but did you read about Core's lore? It's a separate group, more or less completely. They have a good relationship with the guild, though.

yes they do, they even sell their ships in Nauru, but my question why BH ships are 100% to Core and Core ships are 0% to BH, while IC is 100% to both!

Core's official name is Bounty Hunter's Guild Core, being the core members of the Bounty Hunter's Guild. BHG's main recruitment strategy is putting bomb collars (actually literally "ocular grenades") on criminals and sending them to catch other criminals. The Core tech line is the highest quality of the BHG, that's going to be available to their elite pilots, who in turn would already be in Core. It's not going to go out to the Rogue that the caught and put a bomb collar on. IC has a controlling share in Core stocks, whatever IC says happens no matter what, therefore they get Core tech whenever they want.

Therefore, Core gets 100% on BHG because they literally are BHG. IC gets 100% on BHG and Core because they literally own BHG and Core. BHG does not get 100% on Core because Core is the best of the best, and BHG is literally everyone else.

Interspace Commerce is a majority owner of AP Manufacturing and the Core, as well as a major sponsor of the BHG. AP Manufacturing is responsible for both BHG and Core ships, hence why Interspace can use both.

BHG ships are cheap and efficient hardware meant for (semi-)open sale. Core ships are expensive, top of the line products. The Core are the big dick elite Edgeworlds PMC, so they get their choice of either quality or standard issue equipment. The BHG are random mooks stuffed into a fighter and pointed at the nearest asteroid field, so they get the cheap stuff only.

That's pretty much it.

so basically ... IC are the money guys, Core are stormtroopers and BHG cannon fodder foot soldiers to take common task, and maybe can be recruited to be with the top guys ... ok! fair enough

thanks to all that replied, take care and have fun
