The Ravon Talon, a viable Xeno ship?

[tfmachad]

"Raven's Talon was made by IMG for commercial purposes Excellent speed, extended power capacity, and well known quality standards of IMG made this ship popular on Black Market. Raven's Talon is one of the best very heavy fighter avaible for pirats and mercenaries-and surely most expensive"

What a PvPer sees
What a RPer sees

Xenos are <strike>pirats</strike> terrorists, they can only fly the ships they are able to make themselves. Moreover, it is made for commercial purposes, selling it to people who wants to destroy any stranger isn't really good for these...

Let me correct you there, pim. The so called PvPer won't bother look at an infocard at all. He'll open FLStat and look for this:

Raven's Talon
Nanos/Shields: 65
Max Angular Speed (rad/s): 1.1429
Angular Distance from 0 to 0.5 sec (rad): 0.3616
Time to 90% Max Angular Speed (s): 0.4605
Power Capacity: 12400
Power Recharge Rate: 1270

...amongst other things. The new guys that orient themselves to PvP only may be seduced by the infocard, but they'll curse the salesperson as soon as they launch the dock and try to steer the ship (it takes a fair pilot to make good use of a slow ship).

Also, I'll tell you this, my mercenary will re-sell this ship for a 30% margin any time of the week. I think it is you that aren't really considering a meaningful scenario here. If the game is supposed to portray some sense of reality, then let's portray it with its ugly aspects included. If the infocard states that the ship is at sale in the black market, forget about restricting it. As soon as you launch from the dock, whoever has sold it, won't have any idea (and won't even care) about where that ship is going.

That's different from a defense contract and official hardware. Military ships aren't "sold", they are assigned to trained personnel and accounted for at all times. For you to get your hands on an Avenger, you'd have to pull a hell of a good trick. And there I agree, "I stole it" doesn't cut it.
