' Wrote:Oh of course, Liberty is the descendant of the USA thus it must win every war even if logic dictates otherwise.
- Liberty has no resources of its own and is dependent on the income received from other Houses, yet it has an insanely large fleet.
I wouldn't say 'no resources'. It's pretty much a copy of America now, and while America does have a lot of resources, it still has a very very large budget deficit. That means it imports a whole ass-load of stuff more than it exports.
Certainly though, Liberty is not self sufficient.
- Rheinland has veteran pilots and elite fighter corps which in actuality easily counter -any- larger scale Liberty capship attack. Yet "in role play" Liberty forces are superior because of their capital ship fleet.
What's this "Rheinland has veteran pilots and elite fighter corps" based on? And remember, capships ingame are not representative of the firepower they're meant to have. After all, capital ships in vanilla SP had guns which did like 50 damage per shot.
- Rheinland pretty much blitkzkrieg'd every single House in vanilla, when its economy was supposed to be down. Now that it's not so anymore, they're even weaker?
The real question here is, why did their economic overdrive and the strip-mining of most of their industrial centres not result in economic collapse right after the nomad war, given that they were in a precarious position even before then. How did they build up their military power so fast again?
- The war is about the independent systems, yet Liberty is gaining territory, even though it has a good dozen of entirely disregarded and empty systems as opposed to Rheinland.
Dev issue.
- Liberty is heavily tied down by piracy attracted by it being the center of commerce, in-RP and in actuality, yet they manage to carry all the above points out when their economy is being constantly eaten up by pirates.
Ingame=/=InRP. A naval force is far better equipped, trained and organised than pirates and/or terrorists.
Explain the logic in all that, please I'm all ears.
