Question to the folks who run the house Governments re: civ carrier

[Sabru]

Update: Short reference list of what whats. Will be updated as the houses update their laws.
- Liberty: Bustard and Corvo legal
- Rheinland: Corvo legal. Bustards require prior permission and registration (see Rheinland laws for full terms and conditions.)
- Kusari: Bustard - Illegal unless prior permission from KNF command is given.
- Bretonia: Legal
- Gallia: Soon™

- OP edited to clearly show only relevant info now.

My question would be what the Civ Carrier actually is labeled instead of what the Houses think it is.
As what was it planned to be? A Carrier or a Liner?
I want to know if I can used it with a FL ID since it does not permit the use of a Carrier but a Liner

I'd say the Civ Carrier counts as a cap from the inRP PoV of a Government. In it's infocard it's considered a lightweight capital. It can also mount capital ship weaponry.

What is it considered for IDs?

[Sabru]

for IDs, its considered a liner. that way even FLs can use it.

I'd say the Civ Carrier counts as a cap. In it's infocard it's considered a lightweight capital. It can also mount capital ship weaponry.

but then we get to the argument of 'are all caps considered warships?"

the infocard says:
"Designed and manufactured to serve in dark corners of space where the closest friendly base is but a memory; the Bustard is a mobile retreat point intended for snubcraft operating away from friendly installations. The Bustard was designed with the intention of avoiding the sheer cost and quantity of resources manufacturing and maintaining a military carrier requires, and so, sacrificing combat capabilities of a warship, its design leans toward availability and ease of maintenance, and so becomes a practical choice of carrier for smaller groups lacking the means of maintaining an actual warship."

it was designed to be an alternate to a warship. doesnt actually say the magic words capital ship

hence the question to the house govs.

It's a liner.
If it lists it as illegal in the laws, then it's illegal.
It's up to them if they want to update it or not.

AFC has already been fined by Rheinland for an unlicensed Cap ship in their space...

As long as it mounts weapons that are above gunboat class, it is a considerable threat. As such- a cap.
It should not enter house space unsupervised.

See this is the issue with having different wording for rules and "house laws". The rules say its a Liner, but if the houses say its a Cap Ship who's right, the Dev Team or the Governments ingame?
