If I get my LR- started to get shot at by some MM in an outcast gunship things will turn ugly.

What about Molly/Rogue Gunboat?

' Wrote:Mandalorian Mercenaries are official faction right? That is why they should <strike>buy</strike> get their own system, along with their own ship line from LFs to their own Battleship, along with their own ID ( + Affiliation)
Eh, I hope that post is not meant to be serious. Why would a mercenary organization have an entire solar system?
Furthermore, just because we are an official faction doesn't mean we automatically have special rights granted like an own ID and IFF - although there might be some special cases.
' Wrote:Personally I wouldn't go for any Gunboats at all... They're so easy to kill.
Since you guys are a bit chummy with the Outcasts, I guess the IMG Gunboat is off the table as well?
I'd suggest getting individual Gunboats from factions you've worked with in the past. I don't think there's going to be any 'open market' Gunboats for you guys unfortunately. Maybe we should make a non-outcast Border World Gunboat. I'd be happy to give it a shot, it would fill a nice niche.
But it really seems like you guys have diplomicised yourselves into a corner...
Well, gunboats draw most of the attention on them. So your wingmen will have a comfort time during a battle.
Getting individual gunboats might be a problem...
Rheinland - They won't sell military stuff because they are at war (and somehow we are shooting them now :wacko:)
Liberty - At war
Bretonia - Loosing a war
Blood Dragons - Not so good connections any longer and they would more likely kill their own mother that selling stuff to anybody else than a BD
Outcasts - Good connections but the rest similar to the Blood Dragons
We did not really diplomicise into a a corner - it was more like that things developed
to our disadvantage :)

Hehe, don't worry. Sometimes we might do strange things (I'm looking at you, dieter) but we don't do stupid things :D.
-----------------------
BH Gunship was a good choice because it was supposed to be an outdated ship.
Quote:[...]In recent decades, most ships of this type have been replaced by the heavier and more efficient Orca Gunboat.[...]
But since Athenian speaks for the Hunters and makes the rules, we have to accept that change, and at least buy no more of them (I think we only have 1 or 2 anyways).
So, as it looks we will have to try the Mafic for drawing attention on a pilot.
Meh, we will kill you anyways :P
Edit:
Quote:What about Molly/Rogue Gunboat?
I don't think we can kill them day by day and then ask for some heavy battle equipment.
Mandalorians and Gunboats - Dieter Schprokets - 08-20-2009
Any other SHF's that we could consider as Light Gunboats?
How's the Spatial compared to the Mafic?
I think we might RP a request to the Council of Dons for 2 or 3 GB's driven by Consuls or me. Maybe Alorad level too. Not sure.
Only could be used against certain clients.
Maybe the first question is, "How many MM even WANT to drive a GB?"
I know just a few do, but how many exactly?
Mandalorians and Gunboats - Jacob S. - 08-20-2009
Someone may have mentioned it, but a Zoner Gunboat works great with 2 Pulse 2 BR loadout, just work on your aim a bit. Otherwise its really tough.
Mandalorians and Gunboats - kingvaillant - 08-20-2009
Buy two types of GB:
2 OC
and
2 lawful (bretonia or BHG?)
Put them all on shared accounts (1 lawful and 1 unlawful per account), like we did with the scout ships before.
And ask members to send a PM to the character when they die
