' Wrote:Ok, let me explain. Zoners cannot afford to give the Xenos a GB, because the Corsairs would take over fp9 if they did. Balance of power. Corsairs need fp9, because of the biodomes, because they're starving. If they weren't starving, they could afford to leave the AW alone, and the Xenos could get some gunboats. But I think its a moot point, because the lane hackers have 6 bases that they have to keep repaired, which is expensive.
To pay for their bases, the LH have to syphon funds from the xenos, to pay the outcasts for cardamine. And they are getting a new ship, which has been bought and payed for by Samura, through the guise of the AFA. This ship will, of course, bankrupt the poor Xenos, which will let the Unioners move into fp2, and begin a chain reaction that will destroy the Zoners.
AFA and Xenos are friends, but I don't think its a good idea to give Xenos a capship.
Nope.
See, if the AFA would just farm, the corsairs would have enough food, etc, etc, and eventually Bretonians would plant a flag on GC. No one wants that, do they? Well? do you?
I think the problem with a Xeno GB is just the level of pvp whore risk involved.
I'm sure someone could get one, if they wanted. Doom did.
' Wrote:Not only do the Lane Hackers have thier own gunboat, they actually have their own class of battleship too.
Taken in that light, I see no reason why xenos couldn't have a few gunboats as our highest class of ship.
Given that the Xenos are also trying to ally with unlawfuls(See the new description in-game). I see no reason why they shouldn't scrap up enough funds to buy a Lane hacker gunboat or battleship. Mabye even afew zoner or IMG gunboats in secret.
' Wrote:The XA are not PVP whores.
The differentiation between Xeno PVP whores, and Xeno RPers, is the XA tag.
Or so Dusty and del and zav have told me.
Thats what the LSF are for. Them and alot of freelancers seem to have capitol warships in mass. I would love to fly an IMG or zoner gunboat to even things out.
