Greetings to all.
I've decided to make a new character, a mercenary who use gunboat for escorting random trader, for taking a little revenge against some corsairs. (or eventually, ally with them lol).
But i have a question, can i take every gunboat ? Or there are limitations ?
Im intrested in fast and light ship like Hackers,Gaians and Hessians gunship, but im asking before break some rules.


Thanks in advande!
Please have a look into the Official Guidelines of Technology Use, Ships / Weapons / IDs

Search for the Merc ID and then you can look up what you can use as a Merc.


On a sidenote, moved this topic to another section and added "Regarding the rules of technology use" to your topic title.

You can go with IMG propably. If you will pick up a friendly stance with them.

You can't go wrong with OC Tridente!

Ok, sarcasm aside. Heed what Malexa said. First pick a role and a faction you feel most interested in. Then the selection will become more obvious in most cases.

Whit this character i dont want align with nothing and feel free to siding with the best bidder, like a solitarie who think only himself.




(Thanks for the patience Malexa, lol.)
I'm having the same trouble. I am part small group of mercenaries, and while we drive fighters, our 'flagship' is a gunboat. With no actual civilian gunboat, we chose the order Hathor. However, with the new rule regarding white squares on the chart, it appears we must ask for permission. We've applied, but if that fails is there a gunboat that does not need to be requested?
Well if you are mercenaries you could have chosen BHG gb. Hathor well its a bit too stretched for a mercenary.

Not the BHG gunboat. If i recall, it's moving to red with mercenary ID's.

And do not use the IMG gunboat. I will be forced to do unnatural things to you if you choose to fly one.

i suggest using a kusari explorer. They're nice ships.
The Hathor is INCREDIBLY a stretch for a merc. What order personnel in their right mind would sell one of their technologically superior pieces of equipment to a sellsword like a merc, who for all the Order knows, could turn and use their own equipment against them.

Zoner Gunboat. NOT Hathor. Get over the less turrets and less firepower of the Zoner GB and get used to the fact that it's better in RP for a merc to have.

Else, as Bloodsword said, get a BHG Gunship/Gunboat. Although with the current climate of rp standards with the BHG, you may or may not have to ask permission (didn't check the biblical canon of the Tech Chart).

Agreed.

Not only that, but I've solo'd one of those things twice with a bomber. Once my Gallic lawful bomber, and the other day my Barghest. You'll have a MAJOR PvP disadvantage against 2 decent bombers.
