' Wrote:So, you have no proof that it is fail, but, rather, just the fact that it is because you said so? Such a credible source, you. I'm happy we established you as all-knowing Discotator, or, alternatively, dance potato.
'Eh, it's not that people are necessarily sick of independent Gunboats, it's just that it makes no sense. Independently operating something which takes several people to operate, construct, and invest in is rather...contradictory. Factions have the ability to work as a group to buy/construct/use these things, but, an individual generally does not.
That would also rule out just about all independent transports, as well as some bombers and freighters (if I recall correctly). An independent pirate crew isn't really hard to conceive.
It doesn't cost a whole lot more to get a gunboat than it does to get a fully-kitted bomber, and it actually costs less to maintain.
