Pirates. No longer a navy problem.

[AshHill07]

HF and RM battleships are completely irrelevant. Can they disrupt trade? No, because they can't blow up transports.

In more than a year on this server, my Liberty characters (couple of traders and a couple of LPI) have had issues with pirates on a regular basis. I can count the number of times I've seen RM forces on the fingers of one hand.

Maybe in-RP they're supposed to be a bigger threat, but in reality on the server? Not at all. Pirates cause significantly more problems for Liberty on a regular basis than RM ever do.
LPI ID doesn't allow battleships.

It does, however, allow cruisers...incoming LPI cattlebruiser!

Battleships do not come alone, unless thier lolwuts in which case they're no threat at all. They may not be common but when the HF or the RM do turn up they are often in very large numbers.

Ah the good old days ... I do miss those big fights ...

Anyway, before I get too distracted. I did find the name of the LPI dreadnought, the LPI-Leavenworth. Unable to find any screens in the search box. I'm sure I have a picture of it somewhere but after 10 mins searching my archives I've givern up. I do know however that it is a dreadnought and it has been in service for atleast a year. Don't know if its still active though, no recent sightings.

And before you say about fileing sanctions it is an SRP ship for the official LPI faction, not just some indie nub whos not read the ID.
