And yes, I'm talking about indies, never having actually talked to a XA in game.
xenos cant pirate for credits.

The Red Hessians should have a battleship a hell-of-a lot more than the Xenos, but they don't. There are so many more factions that should have a battleship more than the Xenos. Because a Xeno battleship would just sit at the lanes, role-playing taking in traffic and raising the middle finger at traders who laugh at it as they fly away with their cargoes, because that's all it would do.
It would never be risked in any combat situation, as they cost billions of credits to construct. For that kind of money, they could buy sixty plus bombers equipped with the most advanced technology on the market.
60+ bombers > 1 battleship
There are so many other points, but I'm just going to move onto the "If they did" talk. If the Xenos were to ever get a battleship, it would have to be some cheap hunk of cheese that was falling apart when it was constructed in the earlier 300 A.S. period. And they would only get one, not a ship everyone could buy but one of those ones that can only be sold on the Lost Battlestar.I'm not denying the Xenos a battleship in my view because I don't like the guys who run the show, but because it would be such an impractical and illogical thing to make IRP and OORP it would make me cry.

Even worse than the Liberty Rogue Battleship Idea >.< Oh wait we already have one.

As far as I know, the Xenos don't even have their own fighter line. Why should they get a Battleship as their first unique vessel?
If you want to start big, try a Xenos Gunboat. That, at least, would have some ingame merit.

The fail in almost every post in this thread makes me want to scream and cover my ears and run away.
Actually, that's not a bad idea.
*does just that*

The Xenos don't need a Battleship. end of story. Wouldn't mind our own shipline as long as it is not so high tech or covered with spikes.
XA-DeathAdder

Well... Hmmm...
In-RP, Xenos can get some defecting dreadnought for them (or repair and upgrade one in T-44) and use it as base of operations within California. Possible placement should be somewhere at north.
Supplyment'd be made through local Xenos bases and cargo piracy.
Dreadnought'd be modfied a bit by Xenos, few IMG BS guns would be welcome.
Uhm. Then station it within asteroid cloud in California at north (forgot it's name, but it has Ontario JH in the middle)
It'd be dockable, like.. Uhm, Liberty Rogue Destroyer in NY?

Again, we have a liberty dreadnough in the middle of the guard system. If we bothered to make it run again, we would use that. Course, who knows how much ductape that would take?

No.Plain and simple.
