I mean it's better than nothing, certainly, but Nephs are supposed to be colony ships, not war apparatuses. It seems silly for them to be farming nomad remains all day, even on an Order ID.
Tbh, its rather ridiculous the Order still has a 90% techcell on Zoner caps, especially after last few months where our relations rather sharply deteriorated
As for the Core HBS, I would love to see it ingame. However, that would mean the Order has to get one of their own to counter it. The Thebes should fill that niche nicely. Both the Core and Order would have an interest in having a battleship capable of realistically countering the new Nomad stuff while suffering the least amount of damage. ANd while the Osiris and Mako have the ability to dodge their stuff, a few rounds can already put a rather nasty dent in them. Heavy BSs have a lot more survivability to reasonably counter the new heavier nomad stuff
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

That's what I keep saying, over and over again. Both factions should get a heavy.

I mean, the Order's techcell would be alright if we were going to trim out the senseless Zoner caps off of the techcell itself. It doesn't make any sense, why would a bunch of a hat-tipping smug INDIVIDUALISTS (I'm going to empathize this because that's the whole point of the Zoner RP, @Laz himself agrees with me) living off of the colonies give away actual caps to another faction which has been giving the Zoners nothing but nuisances all along?
No, this isn't going to be a straight-up rant. I just want to know why isn't the Core getting anything to even this ship line gap.

Agree here thebes and megalodon should be in
Why do you agree? Don't you realize you'd be one of the destroyed?
I've suggested in the past that the Core and the Order should have heavy BSes due to the nature of their ZoI and faction background. The Order has a nice model for their heavy, but the Core needs, imho, a better model than the one that has been offered. Preferably one without a front gun. A model with a simple, even spartan design. No fancy frills, bells, and whistles. Just a heavy that is all business. Something similar to the Deimos, for example.
Core already has a full shipline that includes a battleship and both a cruiser and a destroyer at the same time. Why does this relatively small fringe world faction, that is already well overstepping its bounds, need two different battleships?

For reasons already explained in this thread many times.
