BH or Merc using liberty ships

[Rabid_American]

Greetings I know this may be a simple question to some of you but I can't find the answer.


I want to use an Avenger for my BH or Merc character and was wondering if you could use any lawful ship being in either faction. Or if this is too OORP.


In RP terms this would work as I could say I still had the ship after defecting said lawful force..]


Thanks in advance!

If you defected, they'd make you leave the ship, and if you didn't leave it, you'd become a fugitive (those making the BH possibility almost nil, unless you stick to the border worlds), which leaves an unlawful merc, but that doesn't work with that ship, eh?

It's real sticky. Depends on the story, doesn't it?

I think military organizations keep their stuff better accounted for than that. You either request the faction for the ship or stick to the civilian/corporate lines.

it very much depends. - personally, i d say... if you do really really want to fly another factions ship, - you should ask the official faction how they approve it or not. ( i never had a problem with getting what i wanted that way )

take into account what happens around you with the factions. - for example... the liberty military forces must have had an equitment deal with the BHG, since they massivly used their best weapons. - now there is no real official BHG faction out there, so we must assume that the deal was done with the NPC BHG in that case, which involves every BHG.

that shows that the military cooperation is very close. such an information can of course back you up, when you re asking for one of the gunboats. - gunboats are massivly produced and a lot less precious than the bigger ships. - with the close cooperation, the liberty forces could very well be willing to part with a gunboat, especially since they know that the BHG will never use it against them - or at least its very very unlikely.

furthermore, the BHG originates in liberty and their history goes well back. - chances are not bad to get liberty gear. - but one should allways back it up with the factions, not cause the factions are meant to be allmighty, but cause they are the only ones that represent a larger part of the NPC faction ( that has more brains than the NPCs )

edit: an advice - don t do the "i fixed that empty ship that floated in space" ... if you can fix it, the liberty navy could have fixed it, too. if they couldn t fix it, you could not have done it either..... . if you found it - its your duty to report it and bring it back ( may well claim a reward for it - but surely not the whole ship )

if you make a thrilling story about theft or salvage. make sure its really breathtaking and thrilling, - cause if its boring, no one will belive it:)

That's been done to death (no offense, but it's not really original). Take a break, look at it objectively, and -- I don't usually suggest this, but in your case it's probably best -- build a unique, believable RP story around the ship. Normally the ship's supposed to naturally come out of the story, but I think that doing it this way is your best bet.

EDIT: This post was at Oscar's, not Jinx's... didn't see Jinx's post when I wrote this, sorry.

Ok I appreciate your guys help I am gonna try to work on a good story and ask the [SA] I REALLY want to keep this ship.

Do both. Say you found a broken-down wreck somewhere and fixed it up in isolation, then realized that it was hardcore military hardware. (Say you didn't know what it was until it was mostly fixed) Humbly ask them if you can continue to fix it up and keep it for yourself. Oh yeah, salvaged ship stories shouldn't involve armor, or if they do, keep it to Mk IV at the highest.

Ok so I am gonna request as well..from the REAL admiralty of Liberty but I made a biography for the pilot based around the ship..I am gonna add on but let me know what you think.

In terms of the Liberty Gunboat. It is stated that they are being phased out of service, which suggests that some might be sold off or more likely, scrapped and used for larger ships. However as with any such occasion, it would be possible to get ahold of one of these vessels. The issue would be with keeping it. After all militaries tend not to allow you to take a dodgy tank out on the roads (Though it is legal with rubber treads in RL)
However the LSF and SA seem relatively ok with the usage of their ships, as long as they are relateively well RP'ed. I'd be wary about using an Avenger however, which is meant to be a very advanced for what it is, suggesting the military might not be happy to see them flying around in non-military hands.
