Most "powerful" house (within RP)

[Blodo]

Because it's not about how many n00bs does a house have, it's about their in RP strength:P

[kemira]

When Gallia Royalist defeat the council they will sweep through Alpha and the Taus making seriuos damage (probably nuking Malta), the Brits and the Gaijins will put aside their differnces to stop the new threat, may be libby send help, maybe they make a truce with rheinland or just crush it quickly, Big sirian fleets will head for the taus to stop the Huge Gallic Armada... the times of heroism will just begin... but... wait... im forgetting something... something blue... holy sh... the nommies... sirius will be crushed by gallians on left side and Nommies on the right side. Well i think it will be good waching some fights of the GRN against the Keepers over Texas...

Ah but you're forgetting that theres plans to have a JH linking the eastern omicrons to the western edge of gallic space.......... a jumphole stable enough to bring thru whole fleets in a single go .....

Well, Blodo via skype said me a good idea.

Since most of people like those roumers and such. Well, sorry lads, but just that private officer from police says that Bretonia gonna push out Kusarias soon, it doesn't really means that it will be so.


If hessians are sayign that they will push out Corsairs from omega 5, it doesn't mean it will be so, and that it's true.

Gossips are just gossips. Do not trust them blindly.


Such as Techy news. Well thatsx propably propaganda D:<

Hmm let me think this over... ok for starters on a pure my preference Bretonia beats all you ebil houses:D...

ok now down to business

1. Rheinland I think has the most advanced weapons tech in sirius it has good pilotens it even used to have the largest fleet in sirius but that is the past right now rheinland is very scarse on resources so it kinda has to use what it currently has its very powerful just a little limited in its reach I imagine if it had a two front war its resources would dry up and it would have to yield some of its territory but still I put it to number 1.

2. Bretonia is pretty all round it has tech it has decent resources it could survive if it got cut off from all its trade partners I imagine unlike liberty albeit Kusari make it interesting for them having lost a fair amount of resource an production etc due to losing what they have they still seem to be very versatile and doing just fine.

2.2 Kusari I would have to say have very nice ships and technology pretty good resources by the looks um judging by their little war they have pretty good pilots one could call them chokers because they made it halfway through leeds and can't push any further but I actually think it is a very tough cookie.

3. Gallia probably should take the top position for amount of people crammed in place their tech seems pretty alright um but we can't judge them because we don't actually know anything about them hey I put them above Liberty only through judging what I have seen on my little diplomatic mission there it was enough to easily put them above liberty they are very well self sustained.

4. Liberty has money..... who's it gonna buy stuff off if everyone hates them and close their doors for trade:Dum on a different note liberty has a lot of ships albeit poor pilots ( I know I get scared when I travel to liberty and don't have armed forces escorting me anymore) there technology is pretty good though they are sincerely mismatched in the rheinland war on a technological perspective Rheinlanders eat little libertonians for breakfast. Um Liberty got the best spot but I imagine they have exhausted a lot of the resoruces originally found there and well there boxed in on 3 sides. If your talking about power I don't think liberty has power I mean its a pretty big giant but it really seems to only have a bank account and a lot of people to throw onto enemies spears to win through numbers over time at great casualty to themselves. An I do believe it might have an infestation of LOLWUTS and anti Rpers so it might have a big issue there.

<...> Outcasts both have better ship building technology <...>

First of all outcasts do not built their ships.

Secondly, I am amused by your logic Dab. Hessians who uses same border world line (until the asgard one) like outcasts whines (in rp) that their ships as inferior to corsair ones, but you proclaming that Outcast same border world line is somehow superior to Corsair line.

uh, you have a strange thinking there.

Liberty is the most economicly powerful, and most technologically advanced (with Kusari running a close second).
Bretonia has always had the raw end of the deal; arriving in Sirius last, they are always playing catch up.
And, fyi, I'm British, so no claims that I only claim Liberty is best because I'm a patriotic American.

Outcasts are the most powerful in terms of influence, because they have their hand in so many criminal (and even Legal) groups. The power of the Outcasts should not just be measured in how many ships and pilots they have, but also, how many pilots Sirius-wide are bound to the Outcast cause by addiction to cardimine. Every addict would fight to the death to secure their supply.

IMO, Corsair ships are advanced in terms of weapons and design, but not in terms of general technology. Most technologies are stolen from other Houses and incorporated into Corsair designs. Corsair ship designers should probably be considered the best in Sirius, but I think allot of it is hype; Corsairs claim often enough that their technology and ships are vastly superior (as a matter of patriotism) that outsiders start to believe it.
I dont believe either the Corsairs or the Outcasts have the resources or power to conquer any house. Perhaps after the war between them ended, and they spent afew decades collaborating and helping eachother expand their fleets rather than destroying eachother, they could be a threat to the Houses, but not right now.
The Outcasts are arguably closer to conquering houses through their network of manipulation.
The Corsairs' primary motivation is self-preservation, and aside from security, most individuals are focused on accumulation of personal wealth. The dreams of expanding their "Empire" is, I think, mostly hype to increase their feeling of self-importance and make them seem more intimidating to their enemies and allies.

I'd imagine Gallia would be capable of taking on 1 house. I say this because, even if they have a massive fleet dwarfing anything seen before, and technology that surpasses anything Sirius has, Gallia is extremely isolated, which would make it very difficult to manage an invasion, keep fleets supplied, and maintain administration of any systems that are captured. It might be comparable to Germany's invasion of Russia during WW2.

An interesting question is...where do the Zoners fit? They have a huge sphere of influence, they are rich, pretty much control Edge-World markets, and arguably have a very advanced fleet!

Rumour in Rheinland: In the nomad wars they consumed so much resourses on ships that they almost don;t have a economy left.
(Look at Germany in the Coldwar times.) (In Discover: Now Rheinland is restoring its economy pretty well but all raw materials are getting a bit empty.)

For Kusari: they have almost all H-fuel in serius so if a war would break out all other houses are in big trouble. (In Discovery: Does Galila have any fuel resourses to mine?)

For liberty: They have some advanced ships and guns but without the raw materials. So the economy of Liberty hangs on a tiny rope. (In Dsiscovery: They found some mining fields in pennysilvania, but they drianed them empty in a matter for mounths. Silver fields is also gettting harder and harder to mine.)

For Bretonia: Some resourses not much though. Some adanced weapons and Battleships but its all just under avrage compared to other houses. (In Discovery it all remained the same.)

Well Gallia seems to have it all resourses, military, influance.

For the hispania people. well some resourses but most come from robbings. And ofcourse the major cash flow of drugs and smuggle.
Some good pilot skils and ships. But if some houses would go at war they would have a hard time getting transports robbed. (Thats the way I see it.)

All in all I voted Kusari and Gallia would be able to stand vs 2 houses anything more would be more of a match.

[Klaw117]

I voted Hispania because I think the Hispanics are pretty well off through smuggling and pirating (the Outcasts have turned their purgatory into paradise - that exact phrase was said in a news report in the Malta bar - and the Corsairs have gotten over their starvation crisis), and the military is the best in Sirius I think. The Corsairs have the better numbers, the Outcasts have the better skill, both their ships are amazing, and both factions' pilots fight with a brutality that isn't seen anywhere else in Sirius (except maybe in the Coalition, but they lack the numbers).
