Or the Dragons.
I'd argue that both the Corsairs and Outcasts being able to support two different types of battleship, more than three of the four major houses, is also ridiculous.
I'd argue that the rogues and mollys, being thugs and the IRA respectively, wouldn't be able to support a destroyer either.
Since we're playing in a world of mostly unthinkable things somehow happening over and over again, I see no reason to deny this guy his cruiser on the basis of "X faction can't support Y ship".
Im going to try and give in RP reasons why these factions could support such ships and the Xenos couldn't. Although im not an expert on Xenos but this is the impression i get.
Rogues, hackers and Outcasts.
Heavily involved in various parts of the cardamine trade, which offers alot of income. Also copious amounts of piracy on all parts providing yet more income. Put these together and you get enough to support capital ships. Im not talking about a fleet of them... just one or two. Admittedly the outcasts do have alot of capital ships but they are the only source of cardamine and boy oh boy, is there demand.
The corsairs have a similar racket going with artifacts. That is when they are not pirating the other half of sirius that the previous three have left alone.
Mollys... not completely sure but im sure they could grab some of the gold they sit around in to finance some hodge podge workmanship and get something going.
So not unthinkable on these counts. Kinda like a criminal economy going there! Shocking.
Xenos on the other hand.. im pretty sure they hate everything. I dont believe they trade much... considering they hate quite alot of people. Therefore having no money to support something like a capital ship.
Someone tell me did i get it right? or should i delete this to make room for others.
