Zealot, I do understand your concern and I believe that I have made that perfectly clear during are long and fruitful discussions. The removal of the Osiris from the Corsair lore, history and server is NOT something we wish to do. I'm the one who started this discussion and I wish to execute the idea, without further complications or OoRP tensions between certain members.
It has been said many times, from myself, that the Corsairs are the master shipbuilders, without whom a huge portion of the current Order capital ship fleet, would not have existed. We, I, do not wish to deny that, nor will I.
The hull of the ship, the armor plating, the weapon systems are all known to the Corsairs and they have proved more then capable of utilizing them. However, the technical details, almost everything, which has to do with the usage of alien or LSF technology was never revealed and all Osiris ships, so far, have been created with the, small, help of Order scientist and engineers. The same way the bulk of older, Corsair players do not wish to see their factions history tampered with is exactly what we don't wish to see being done to The Order. The two factions have been in a long standing alliance with extremely close relations between one another, as such, that would have never been a problem.
I wish to repeat myself. I do not have the intention to remove the current Osiris from the hands of Corsairs captains who are in its possession currently. What I wish to see is the removal of the ship from Corsair SY and bases, thus rendering new players incapable of acquiring it. The ship will ONLY be removed, once a suitable replacement has been created and accepted by the Leaders of the Corsairs factions. Technical details about the ship, such as armor, speed and etc are of NO CONCERN what so ever to The Order High Command. It's your ship and your design, do with it as you please, with the cooperation of the development team, of course. I believe however, that the role the Osiris currently fills should be kept and the ship should be a duplicate, in terms of performance, to the "original" Osiris.
Let us not spur into unwanted debates with people who may or may not be directly concerned with this topic. As I said, I'm willing to aid the Elders in what ever way they wish, in order to speed this process up.
