Wait are you being serious with this?
That's not at all how that works. You have 0 source of financing, you have 0 groups willing to engage in trade with you beyond nameless pirates (who are kinda notorious for being unreliable with their resources, lets be real here.)
This faction's continued existence following your burned bridges makes absolutely no lore sense. Nothing is 100% self-sufficient like this, but based on what I've seen of the lore-assets that Harmony supposedly has, it dosen't make any sense for you all to be anywhere close to that 100%.
If you wanna improve things on the writing front: answer the following questions
What logical source of finance to fund the acquisition of the resources necessary to maintain an independent fleet does Harmony have?
What are your reliable sources of food, oxygen, water, fuel, military-grade munitions, Liberty navy-quality ship parts, and medical supplies?
How is your income sufficient to pay for the above listed supplies? (all of that isn't cheap)
Faced with a complete lack of allied entities following this falling-out with the Unioners, how is Harmony not facing mass-defection or full-on mutiny from within its own ranks?
Who are your suppliers that keep bringing in the above mentioned resources despite basically every group in your general vicinity being shjote-on-sight hostile?
What are you enticing those suppliers with to keep them loyal and prevent them from being paid off by other groups?
Please link me if I've missed something regarding the addressing of some of this information.

A simple, angry man casually working his way through life on a personal quest to acquire copious amounts of street cred.
UN is currently RPing out a logistical nightmare supplying Pacifica through a blockade that only exists InRp and we're a massive smuggling faction with cartel-grade distribution networks and unlawful allies all over the sector, because it's fun.
Seriously consider nerfing Harmony's capabilities to make it more fun for your players. You have half the number of battleships the Red Hessians have InRp currently, and you're a one-base organisation with few friends. Likewise, inventing logistical disabilities means you create eclectic fixes for the problems you invent.
Can't get through a blockade? Invent a new type of jump drive - current UN project - for example.

They have 1 quarter of the amount we have, tanith. Also remind me again where by lore you absorbed all of LWB's assets?
As for the who lore topic, scourge/snak3's points pretty much come to mind. Though I've no issue with the concept of harmony, it's roleplay with other factions, anything that helps to piss on LN's plot armor is something to support etc. I think roleplaying the construction of your own base is fine too, my only issue is the pob tier defences.

I never said we absorbed all of LWB's assets. If I did, it's a typo or I was intoxicated. It's just that the other organisations that absorbed the LWB didn't preserve the LWB as a political organisation within themselves. We absorbed a third, that third containing most of their big ships.
I said a quarter because don't you have six battleships InRP? They've got Three.
Unless you've got 12 battleships and I simply got confused.

A good example of what not to do is not using battlecruisers, a class UN can't fly, against cruisers. When that doesn't work out for you, apply even more battlecruisers.
We can't respond with battleships as, as shown, the heavy battleships UN has access to, do not fit in the tanner belt. The Arbiter is a spawnbox and a half long, whilst the Turtle is fatter than a spawn box periphery. They're longer than the asteroid spawn boxes, thus ensuring they will not slip between the gaps in the rocks. The LN dread, will.
You also do not have that many battlecruisers in lore. I mean, c'mon. This was going to be our first big, interesting fight.

Why do you have an urge to post in feedback threads every damn time you die? Stop it, you're being annoying.

Roleplay. The ship is trying to get to pacifica so it can jump out with refugees. I was going to forum RP it, but it seemed tempting enough. I'd originally logged a donau.

I've died five times today in unrelated non-conny fights and didn't type a word, lol? This was about a group fight that had composition issues. The purpose of this thread is to debate things that could impact inter-faction perceptions.

Go make a sandwich and make sure that you always have one just in case you fight someone.
