Junkers do prefer to talk and bribe their way out of sticky situations, but that doesnt mean we cannot or will not fight.
Gunboats/cruisers/battleships are not something a junker would use... but bombers and VHF's are well within our acceptable ships.
Jinx had designed a really nice looking junker 'bomber' based around a large energy cannon slung below the ship, but I dont think its going to make it into the mod. Unfortunate too... It would have been awesome to fly one of those things.
By the way, bombers do have use in the scrapping industry. Do you honestly thing we use our little CSV claws to tear apart larger wreckages and peices of scrap? Not going to happen. We call in heavy artillery to blast the bugger into peices small enough to haul back to base. Just because it's a bomber doesnt mean it's only for military use.
Well, in the new spirit of things I suppose just figure out how a Junker is going to convince the GMG to offload a few of their bombers to them. :laugh:
From personal experience I can assure you, buyer to buyer, that they'll prove to be worth the price against the Xeno's caps!
Edit: I am, of course, being amusing just to be amusing at this point. Too much seriousness gets me unnerved.

Guess I will use whatever tactics the Xeno's used to get theirs. Then go hunting for the Xeno cap ships. :P

Speak for yourself Tenacity. I have seen several Junkers in gunboats.
I have to say, despite RP. My faction the Harvesters has been denied Zoner guns, BHG gunship, Liberty Assault Battle Criuser, Zoner destroyer. I have been asked to eliminate salvaged weapons from our possible weapons. I have asked to limit our selves to Junker and Corsair ships and weapons.
Now on a PVP note. Corsair gear is good. The ships we were forced into are better than the ones we had. PVP is now easier with them.
However, our faction was designed to resemble what we "eat". Each ship being different based on "it's" personal encounters. I even thought early on before anyone else was doing it and no one knew me, that maybe I would design a character that it cross to bare would be it could only use ENEMY gear.
The point is if we can be denied ZONER TURRETS, which are pretty much considered universal cap guns, since everyone who can get them is friends with the Zoners or at least not enemies.
And even with our RP of Zoner ORIGINS and RP of our tendency to copy our foes by reproduceing what we've eaten.
We have been denied.
It seems that in many cases I've encounted that RP has little to do with wether or not you get to use something. Publicly RPing for rewards in looked down upon. Its a game of the next level we are here for semi easy rewards (enterainment). But even though this is a game of the next level so to speak at no level should a game be designed to make it far more work than play.
In short I think DOCUMENTED RP should allow nearly everything. If someone has documented RP that looks thought out. I say now I dont care how shouted down they are on the forums I respect and will recognize thier work as soon as it draws my attention.
Anyway in short. Civilian stuff=FREE FOR ALL= SUPER COMMON= my GRANDMA HAS ONE
Bugged ships and gear is a valid reason to have a OORP ship as far as im conserned. Who wants to logg on and watch themselves and other have less fun with thier bugged ships.

Caps and trans ports are better for long stays in the scrap fields and to fend off the occational hungry pirate or bounty hunter/merc/cop. Junkers get pirated to occationally.
Additionally I am willing to bet a good portion of the Junker populace lives on board thier ships. The "Depots" are small.
EDIT: Sorry for off topic post, just had to address as I saw, here.
Not even a junker would live in a bomber or fighter with no bathroom. Cept maybe the CSV which looks like it might accually have liveing quarters in it. Small but there.
