What happened to Colonial BC

[SnakeLancerHaven]

Hey I was just checking around on Wiki and saw this ship popping up:

http://discoverygc.com/wiki/Argus_-_IMG_Battlecruiser



It says IMG Battlecruiser though it looks clearly Colonial. I guess Sagm IMG BC is replacement??

Yes, it was lolonial BC. It was also used by IMG. The lolonials moved to a lighter capital ship (Thanatos) and the IMG kept the BC format in their minds and created the abomination called Sagarmatha.

because a small group of miners needs access to capital ships )))

Because ex-miners need access to battleships to jumptrade cryocubes from Gallia.

Honestly it'd make more sense for there to be a Colonial Battlecruiser and a IMG Cruiser instead of the way it is currently.

Because they're not small at all. Because they got bases all around Sirius in real hot spots. Because they developed capital ships in cooperation with a militarized mini-house and why not use them if they have access to them.

CR can't rely on brute force since they've been evacuated from Tau-44. See the fate of the Kronos BS (they went back to the smaller and sleeker Zephyr). Same goes for the cruiser. They opted for a smaller and faster vessel that can hit hard and then vanish instead a battlecruiser that is more expensive to maintain and a bigger and slower target. The Tau-23 is the primary battle area and the asteroids there don't really allow big ships.

On the other hand, IMG can use their BC in the open space of Dublin, Magelan and Omegas.

Junkers have even deeper connections and more bases all across Sirius. Where's our battleship? )))
Same can be said for numerous other factions. Hell, even GMG is more likely to have a battleship, yet, they don't have a single cap. Not even a gunboat.

You do realise the same arguement as for why the IMG needs a BC can be used against them, most IMG operations take place in rock fields, it's logical to assume that the majority of engagements IMG caps get in are in rock fields, so why not jsut have a standard cruiser, maybe even a heavier one like the RMC. Also by this same logic, since the CR fight in Magellan, the portion of Coronado not in the Barrier Cloud, and potentially Leeds, why shouldn't they have a BC?

I must've missed all of that, especially the part about IMG not being small at all.
Please, tell me more

Also, Lyth's right.
caps for junkers!
