I'll be blunt here, since 5th was fairly blunt in the field.
I'd like to know why my fairly reasonable PM was seemingly ignored by what I could tell up-front was the faction's 1ic. Balance being a issue I try to keep under control (due to many outside sources telling me to), I see no reason why a 'question as to the necessity of a heavy warship joining the fray being needed' had to be ignored when there were 0 outside factors delaying the answer. Sure, it may not have mattered in the end for some people, but having a legit, sincere question ignored by the 1ic of an official faction is a little telling of what to expect from 5th.
As for context, this is the subject in question:

[29.07.2018 23:02:55] H|-SNS-Gambier.Bay: // an LSC would've done just fine in that thing's place
