I second Crackpunch.
Couldn't GMG ask devs to take a look at the gasclouds instead, rather than make GMG into yet another bland faction with a bloated shipline?
Or use civ (BW?) tech if a gunboat is really so needed?
Please don't taint the awesomeness of the GMG NPC faction.
Limitations spur creativity where abundance doesn't. I think that's a fundamental truth that kids these days have a super hard time wrapping their minds around.
You know Mimir, I really respected you after I saw your post about the mass ban on Tutaskhia and co. I thought to myself "finally, somebody who understands that this isn't a point at which we can pick and choose which activity we want to see, and that people doing things is more important than the way different people perceive the lore of the game!"
Yet the same applies here. The GMG want a gunboat. This is something that would promote them to fly, something to be proud and happy about if only for a few months. Limitations don't spur creativity or activity, just bitterness really.
Gunboats are a fundamentally broken ship class and being a fighter pilot like myself I think that's more what's under your skin here than the GMG getting a gunboat, but that is a topic for a different thread.
Let everyone have everything and not a soul can complain about bias, if the game isn't balanced that's not the fault of the faction for wanting to be on equal footing with others.
