Quote:Developed to meet the logistical needs of the Liberty Armed Forces for rapid deployment of critical troops, equipment and infrastructure into hostile environments; the Bison Class was built to accomodate the daunting task of performing space to atmospheric maneuvers without the benefit of Ageira docking amenities.
As the largest, and one of few, craft fully rated for atmospheric operations it was not long before a number of domestic commercial ventures were putting in bids for civilian construction and distribution with aims of circumventing reliance upon Ageira technologies in under-developed regions. While extremely difficult to maintain, the vessel's gargantuan hold ensconced within a reinforced space frame, replete with military grade defenses, has rendered it an attractive purchase for corporate entities seeking to outdo the martial capabilities of the Mastodon class.
I'm gonna be one of those guys and argue that Xenos shouldn't have access to Bisons, for the fact they're top of the line military tech, and the Xenos aren't going to have the resources to maintain them.
But whatever.
... Top of the line military tech? It would be more understandable if it was actually LN-specific and not libcivilian but.. Well, it's a civilian ship. All across the market. It's not like it's a piece of military hardware that you need to get parts from the military for.
We both steal and get gifted plenty of transports of Libertonian make, and don't forget we have plenty of Xenos that are ex-metallurgists and shipyard workers. Oh, and the fact that we're coming across a lot more money now due to business with Corsairs.
Also, as for the libgb, that is an SRP and has no forward gun to reflect the lack of specialized parts. There is only one.
tl;dr version: 'Sairs don't screw around in Liberty, artifacts don't pollute the population like cardamine, money important.
And uh.. Saronsen, it's nice of you to think I needed to please you but I'm afraid it's not necessary. It makes sense, betters the faction and adds more things to do/fun encounters. That's all I need. Thank you for your words nevertheless.
As for SRP'ing one Bison.. We use multiple and it's a hell of a lot of effort for something that should be relatively accessible in roleplay.
This should probably be locked since it's been solved it looks like.
