Well Pirate ... You use them aswell then ? The complaint was actually about the KNF using them, but hey ...
As for the IND, we don't hate anything, well ok maybe the odd Corsair, just we tend to roleplay maybe a little
more within the realms of credibility, and not equip to win so much.
Though with the way capships are breeding again, who knows.
You have one of the nastiest cruisers available to you, right on your doorstep, but no, it has to be a BS.
Ah well, we tried to explain ... Don't worry we spread it evenly, its not just you.
Tears are for kids, we speak our minds round here, intelligently sometimes ...

Sheesh, and I left my special flamage sound file at work:dry:
I can't see what so special about Nomad turrets anyway. They don't seem that great to me. Low refire (2 and 1), average damage.... what's all the fuss about again?
Oh that's right RP.... nobody ever said you couldn't mount whatever weap you want. We've had discussions about this, even a poll, and the consensus is you can stick anything you like on your ship. As long as you have reasonable RP for it. And if I had to make a stab in the dark as to whether Harley, Mal and the rest of KNF have their RP straight.... let's say there be many, many others lining up for the "please explain" long before them.
Does every single faction in one moment in time needs to be flamed and attacked about bad RP?...i really cant remember the time with out at least one flame war...
If any body has any complaints about faction members equipment, send PM to leaders before you make another flame fest on forums. Let them take care of it..they are leaders of that faction and it is their responsibility to keep order with in it..not yours.
Also search button in role play part of forums are very nice thing...SO USE IT...
There wont be a time when all players will have only RP weapons on board...no matter what we do...
but i agree...i don't like seeing nomad cap turrets on human vessels...nomad ships and turrets are somewhat alive aren't they?..so basically, nomad turret is like an long arm of nomad ship...
I thought I'd get up a bit early, before scullery duty, and bump this up high where the stink can blow off a bit more.. keep those Kusari vistas blue and fresh..
I'll not hurt your eyeballs with quoteage and "he sez/they sez".. much, but merely express a few glaring inconsistencies and present a few "opinions" on this debacle.
FWolf, the KNF fighter squadron you encountered was on a training/vetting mission out of BS Nagumo.
One of the fighters you "killed" at Tsushima was the brand new trainee we were working with to get properly vetted. At the time you engaged, he was not even ID'd and tagged KNF. Yet, did we ask you to wait a bit while we completed the Kumori_Doragon's vetting? No. We jumped in.
You mentioned another incident where the Gunboat Mirage (the maniacal fiend with the Nomad turrets) allegedly changed ships in "mid-battle"..? Jester (aka Tetsuo aka Mirage) was also in the squadron, in a fighter, last night. He docked and changed to the Mirage before engaging. No foul.
I'm amused by several of your other statements, FWolf. The one about retreating to Tau-23 for a "weapons check".. Perhaps you were biding time till that other "Fat Boy" could figure out (with my directions) how to find Kyushu? You must have been satisifed with your weps, as you popped back in pretty quickly once SirRed was there to support. At least you know your directions.
Also, regardless of the reasons, (taking screenies, composing your letter to Admin, whinging at Mirage, whatever) you ran away yet again. You can call it "disengaging" if you prefer. And of course the Mirage "chased" you. We chase every miscreant who enters Kusari with death and destruction on his/her agenda. You admit to re-engaging our stalwart band of gadfly fighters and the Mirage, rather than staying "dis-engaged". Afraid we might swarm that Dreaddie of SirRed's and buzz him to death? How gallant of you!
You rant about our writing "books" about the KNF and its role in Sirius. Check the server name next time you log in, FWolf. I believe you'll find "Discovery RP" in the name. That's what we do. We do it well. Show me some stuff about the "Perseus" and its reason for existence here. I'd be glad to read your "book" as well.
Nor, do I know much about the "Archelon" or the "SirRed". I do know they seem, like you, to just wanna get down and scrap, whether there's RP reason or not. At least some of the others we encountered on this amazing day make an attempt to have a story. Nova PG and the Seishu vessels come to mind. BDR does not.. ahem.
(Nova PG, at least you could attempt to get my name right. It was the Destroyer Shikikan who attempted to keep you from pirating traders in Honshu. And, sorry for stealing from your message dump, but do I understand that you not only collected tribute from the Traders in question, but then blew them up for their "diminds" as well? Stellar RP and pirating there, mates! Stellar!)
I commend all the KNF who were involved; especially our newer members who performed well until time constraints, which they had made known to me previous to the fracas, forced them to log off. We chose to face you (pirates/terrorists/PVPers/whingers/choose one..) pretty much as we encountered you, in our fighters. The Mirage sought and received permission to engage in his gunboat from me, the "pro tempore" squad leader at the time. I have no issues with his loadout. We could have grabbed heavier iron.. a couple more gunboats, a destroyer, even fat old Tawakemono from nearby Nago. But we chose to "come as we were". I commend the Ambassador for her whimsical yet logical attempt to show you how (I won't use the word "pathetic".. it gets bandied about a bit much already) unreasonable your complaint is.
I leave the final call to the Community at large, and to the Admins, should they not be equally amused at the drollery of this whole affair. Should I come "before the mast" with either KNF Command or the Community and Admins; then so be it. I've said my piece. I've had my laugh. I've expressed my "seems to me's".
And Doom, darling, every faction absolutely has to get flamed; it's a rite of passage. You get flamed, you have officially become a DiscoveryGC faction!
And no, that statement cannot get backed up by so-called 'evidence'.
:P
Masked Pirate, I have no doubt that you have an RP story concerning the MotherShip. However, the lack of me being able to read it really says to me that it doesn't exist. Go! Prove me wrong! Please! I'd like to understand why I'm fighting a battleship of the (NPC) KNF's own design!
And as Yngen said, we'd like an official ruling on Nomad turrets. Any Admin who wishes to do so, please PM it to Yngen, with CCs to Malaclypse, Nadir and myself. Thank you kindly.
Where in the rules is stated that a player cannot use nomad weps unless aligned to the nomads?
If you read any nomad weapon infocard, you will notice that they are compatible with human tech because they were adapted for that purpose.
Everybody can use nomad weps, not just nomads. Remember the storyline: All houses were infiltrated by nomads in some degree. So all houses might have some of the technology left for use.
Also, mal, try not to be offensive when you write. Some of your posts are quite offensive from my point of view. As if you were superior and us all kids.
That goes for all too.

Y'see, Korrd, I disagree with the Nomad turret and it's now-compatibility. It just doesn't seem possible to be able to connect an organic system to an inorganic one; attaching a poison gland to a gun, for example. It can't be done without a brain being inside the gun...
Unless we've been putting lobotomized Nomad brains into our ships...
Which would be weird and just ASKING for another invasion.
But what you've said works. Everyone can use them, just as the Cerbs, Infernos, and Order/Corsair turrets. Thank you kindly.
