In fact, a lot of the Order cap indies have forum accounts. Some of them are members of the official Order| faction, some are just independents floating about the forums. Some are good, most (that i've seen) are bad.
Most Order players I have encountered don't know the difference between a cruiser/gunship and a battleship, so they bring in the Carrier "to deal with the scum".

Excellent idea btw, i propose a price bump to 6 Billion credits.
Alright, 6 Billion might be a bit much, 4 Billion it is then.
*walks out*
:lol:(As always kindred.)

I will personally fund independent Order capital ships should you attempt this.
Hmm... A bit hypocritical coming from me, but mainly that's because my carrier is the only powerful capship I have.
I have seen many carriers around- I have counted about 7-8, and that's only the number i've seen and heard of. As far as I am aware - only mine, tenacity's and swiss's are on the order roster.
I've also seen that gunboats are particularly popular - and osirises and (especially) recon cruisers are quite rare nowadays. On the infocards - the Osiris and the recon carriers should be quite common ships (common for a capship that is) whereas carriers should be very rare.
In anycase - I found that the only reason I got a carrier was because it was cheap and relatively good. Now that I have my carrier - I find it is very good - but it is VERY easy to hit and is easily destroyed by any poweful ship, and there is not much skill involved to try to use one. Recon cruisers (which I will be getting soon) are quite a good alternative being small, powerful and unique.
Why dont you guys make it that all order cap ships, crusier and above need to have Order guard ID. Ive seen alot of Indie carriers but none with guard rep.
