Discussion: Salvager, Raba and the dreaded CD slot

[xiphos]

Can't say too much about the Salvager because i never get used to it, but the Raba was a perfectly balanced ship in 4.85 and i was shocked when i heard about the change. I did use it a lot for piracy both solo and with a few buddy's around. So give back! Especially the Farmers Alliance don't have many options for a cool solo piracy tranport. Dunno how the Big Dragon works these days. Was also cool for piracy but the Raba was always the first choice for FA / Hog players.

As a player who started using a raba recently, I find the gunboat turrets and large cargo combination a plus on for the role of the hogosha, flying as a protected transport to the omicrons, doing npc cargo piracy, or acting as an enforcer of Kusari order inside the house space with the help of police, naval and other hogosha forces.

My opinion: Giving a CD to the Raba would not benefit the hogosha and piracy much more than it does now, without a cd on it.

Yes yes yes, but the Raba is not only for the Hogosha. But also for the Farmers Alliance. And where is it builded and where do you buy the ship? Last time i checked at Cape Soya. A FA base.

I see that the FA would have a different range of uses for the transport than the hogosha, and that their activity would benefit from an autonomous piracy transport vessel. The place were they are built or sold is not a factor for their capabilities and balance though.

I support that the potential use of the Raba by the Farmers be taken into consideration, perhaps in equal or greater consideration than the hogosha use. I would wish that the potential change would not be too penalizing for the latter one.

Yeah. fair enough. We need a good decision for both the Hogs and the FA. It's their ship after all. But right now i have no clue why the old 4.85 Raba would penalize the Hogosha RP/player base.

Anyways, if i remember correctly you are also in the Kusari blossom chat. So we can and we should continue this discussion in skype because it's a bit offtopic i guess. And we all know aerelm likes off topic discussions....

P.S.: If your not in the Chat just pm me here...
