I have recently lost the stomach for debating role play equipment and ships. Add to that debating mod balance as well, maybe if such debate doesn't give me heartburn some day I'll take it up again.
KNF will always use in game action to shape it's role play. The ships her enemies use are watched closely and they are most displeased with Reinland for selling bombers to Bretonia. THe usage of the Ravenclaw has not escaped them, this implies that the LSF have taken an interest in seeing Bretonia win over Kusari.
Now, no more SF-bashing in this post or I will bust out my fully automatic jell-o slinger and bury you all in sweet sticky jigglies...and I will complain to the admins.
