4.84: Four houses. Two at war, two approaching war.
4.85: Five houses. Two pairs at war, and this new better-than-everyone-else house pops up.
4.86: Aforeme[/u]ntioned better-than-everyone-else house begins steamrolling everything in its path.
If this was some new Freelancer fanfiction that appeared like this all at once, there would be numerous - and well-justified - cries of "nation of mary sues!"
To say that I object to this would be a massive understatement.
Some Admin are french ? (jokes)
The superioty of gallic have reason... no contact for long time = no ennemies, safe expand, far from nomad, more expand and more grow in power than who have border to survey and secure, and build let some zone neutral.
And a true lesson, when you have neighbour you prefer grown equal of them, not more, not less for your threat still constant.
Gallic have only 2 acces far less cost to survey. have a lot of acces is a higth slow for growth, more carefully.
If other house have been alone she should succes conquest and grown bigger like gallic do.
and, war was prepared, not other who just little figth with their little toys, the treath was unknow, if they had know of gallic they should have change their mind.
But, war like that have an end, because full military econnomie are hard to work and can't work too long.
The lot amount of ships built have been build in a big time, when they will be spend, figthing power of gallic will return to his nominal power, his facturing power, always far less than prepared war.
If gallic take too much system too fast, he need to survey during developement, less ship to figth. And the need can be bigger than can, when gallic econnomy will return to civilian.
the other 4 house still bigger than gallic, 2 or 3 of them can ally.
Gallic is strong because prepared, but after a lot of time they will return to a nominal military power.
And don't will be so strong after all.
Epic fail specialist, rping since 12 years, still make basic error.
