Are RHA not a former mining organisation but they appear to have over 10 Jorms and countless cruisers and gunboats which are [RHA] tagged. I am just wondering how this has been possible over the last few years/ mods/ updates.
I have heard this around the community over recent months about RHA being a mining organisation with capital ships when Unioners are the ones that done all the engineering and shipyard stuff and only has a fighter and bomber as a faction shipline.
Good joke. Unioners/LWB/Bundschuh are all dead factions with inferior ZOI and tech, hence their dead status. Also pulling the "hurr durr you can't have this many capitals" card is so cliche as it has been done with the Rogues, the Outcasts, the Corsairs, the Zoners, the Order, hell even the Rheinland Military back in the LN/RM war. It's a game and there will never be a realistic amount of capitals as people are free to fly what they like.
Just go each a sandwich and accept the fact the Hessians managed to log enough people to do their base siege properly this time.
I was actaully asking a serious question so not need for the sarcastic reply thank you. But again in a roleplay perspective on a roleplay service. How can a mining organisation or former mining organisation have alot more capital ships than a faction that made ships. It doesn't make sense that is why I ask.
So please don't be rude or sarcastic with me. I am asking a serious question.
Support, influence, resources.
The Hessians were supported by IMG (there should be some infocards on the IMG base in O-7) so they can cut the competition - DHC and Kruger. The Hessians are also a lot bigger movement than the Unioners and thus are more influential. They are also more liked than the Unioners, because they preach propaganda about revolution and helping the common Rheinlander.
Just accept the fact the Hessians were a bigger and more influential faction even in vanilla and due to their bigger ZOI they are more influential in Discovery as well.
Also like people below said - it's just how the game works, you need a lot of caps to counter other caps or to siege bases. Will the Unioners one day get some love? Who knows...
I know that there was/is a secret alliance between Red Hessians and IMG, I did not know that DHC and Kruger were involved with helping Hessians become bigger. But anyway thank you for all the answers it has helped me understand a bit better.
Ofcourse you need caps to counter other caps or siege bases but also bombers work too.
