The point of this chart - which has been developed by both corsair and order leaders - is to both keep track of approved ships, as well as to overrule the tech chart written by xoria (which is, quite frankly, crap). Not everything can be in black and white, so it was decided that something both sides agree upon should be written up and made official. The admins can change rules to match this chart once it's finalized.
' Wrote:Make Osiris something between Restricted and Avaliable because the Order doesnt like its allies to use their Osiris much
' Wrote:I suppose if a few Corsairs didn't use the Osiris that no one would, though. Gebs... *shakes head slowly*
' Wrote:Can't use the Carrier, but can use the Osiris? Funny. We should move away form the old time when Corsairs could use the Osiris -- they got their own Dreadnought now.
The Osiris plans (while stripped of advanced technology) were given to the Corsairs. The Osiris can be bought at Corsair guard locations, and the Corsairs have many stationary osirises used as bases throughout sirius. It was agreed by both sides that the Osiris can be constructed by the corsairs, and should be open for use by them as a light battleship alternative to their dreadnaught.
The Carrier is a far more recent and more advanced craft, which the order is not willing to share outside of special circumstances. That's why it is restricted, despite being a lower shipclass than the Osiris.
