I'm sorry, and I don't mean to flame, but the BDR were able to cobble together a working battleship - a fact I'm still boggled about - and outfit it with loads of Nomad tech. Many of the Raven Talons that the BDR use are outfitted with Nomad tech. Not *all* of the weapons are, mind, but it just seems strange to me. Now, personally I don't think anyone should be allowed to use Nomad weapons, considering that they are organic and, therefore, incompatible with our tech. Still, I'm not here to change all that.
Now, I don't see what the matter is insofar as the weaponry. Nomad technology is accessible to everyone, just as the Inferno (capital ship variety), Cerberus (capital ship variety), Order/Corsair (you guessed it, capital ship variety) are. If one faction can use alien technology, why can't all? [Note, I expect Nightfall to speak to me harshly soon...:P]
I can't talk about the shielding running or anything else, as I didn't witness any of it. But as for RP, I demand an intricate story explaining the MotherShip before I attempt to verify or mollify anyone. That battleship makes me pull at my hair with confusion, and so help me, if I hear a 'we stole it' story, I'll go berserk.
As for the four v. one, what is the Archelon? Because this afternoon, I was in the deLuna and was up against five Raven Talons. Anywho, that's my angry post, and I'm sticking to it. Flames will be battled with flames! Or napalm! Or even...
HarleyCo Fun Gasery! Oh, the laughing gas that causes asphyxiation!
