Liners are big, heavily armored and quite heavily armed. Not in favor of equipping a thing as this with gunboat or cruiser shields without making them fair game for cruisers and battleships. It'd just make pirating these with fighters neigh-impossible.

From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.

In regards to it's price. It's supposed to be that much. It's a status symbol. Got too much cash, blow it on a ship that costs four times what it should just to show you can. Stick a BS scanner and a cap 8 on it, oh and a cheetah thruster, just so you can say "Look at my shiny expensive pointless ship" Then you can RP a "superior than you" attitude convincingly. It's what I do.
Saint Del is considered a holy healer of diseases of children, but also as a protector of cattle.

Scary... was literally just chatting about this before I read this thread:
[02/04/2012 22:08:02] James (Spirit): 400m + CAU8 + BSscanner.... if I'm gonna look rich, I gotta do it right:D
I agree with the statements that this is just a rich persons Peen metaphor. The more money is spent the better. It looks great, it has inspiring presence and it costs stupid amounts of money. What do I do with mine? I sit outside New Tokyo and Spam passerby's with Samuran Recruitment ads:DOccasionally I'll do an in system trade run, lol. :cool:
