I didn't mean all out war on Bretonia, just on the QCP:P
But, all out war on Bretonia would probably cause massive damage to the Bretonians and probably be the last straw for them.
With more Corsair incursions, Kusari inside their borders and now a whole fleet of highly advanced capital warships invading them too, well..It would probably cause a collapse inside Bretonia.
I mean, they are at war with Kusari and barely holding on. With the Corsairs added in AND a whole new well equipped and powerful enemy coming in too?
You get the idea.
Well if it's ingame, uh, no offense, but I see Bretonia doing even better than in RP.
As for RP, I'm going off essentially vanilla, because all the disco stuff makes no sense and is ridiculously inconsistent. Zoners have been around for about 100 years and except for one lolplanet their 'empire' costs of about 3000 people who trade water and food to corsairs. CR, well they can make up whatever they want about their faction, but I don't think it will really be accepted by the community unless it's reasonable (i.e. small). The corsairs are big, sure, but only a tiny percentage of a house, even if that house is at war.
' Wrote:First of all, to the one who was implying Liberty helping against Zoners, that would not really happen.
Liberty is more than busy enough with Rheinland, which is precisely the reason why I believe that war started, so the Kusari - Bretonia one would stay balanced.
And I can say with safety that if the Zoners would go to all out war with Bretonia, it would not bode that well for Bretonia, because that'd mean they'd have to move forces from the Kusari and Colonial Remnant fronts, which'd in turn make them lose more ground.
How would anyone, even a house, defend from Kusari, Colonial Remnant, Zoners and Corsairs? No way, that's how.
Bretonia knows this and that is why it wishes not to shun away the QCP completely, because they help with Kusari, but cannot acknowledge them publically because then the Zoners would get pissed off beyond measure.
So Bretonia's doing a dishonorable thing, but one that makes sense in RP, and I don't blame them.
I don't blame the Zoners either.
And I don't blame the QCP either, if they want to make political suicide and act like their brain circuits are fried, who am I to stop them?
Everything can be RPed out, and while I am really on the Zoners' side, I don't find any side too much on the 'wrong' here.
Thanks to refrencing me as the "one" I always suspected it was true :D
Your right everything can be RP'd out, frankly I am on neither side. Although I note you are, my implication that Zoner's attacking Bretonia may cause Liberty/Zoner friction seems pretty solid in RP. The Rhienland/Liberty conflict is at best a stalemate at this time where as the Bretonians are in RP losing ground to Kusari. What we are talking about here though is Houses, large groups of systems with Densely populated planets and huge resources.
Liberty is currently in combat with Rhienland, HF, XA, LR, endless indies etc etc with Liberty surviving. You mention many Bretonian enemies, but it's not the amount of enemies but there ability to wage large scale war against a house. Of the enemies you mention only Kusari in RP has been able to take ground from Bretonia, next strongest would be the Corsair nation who have taken no ground although they are a large threat, their not capable of winning a war against a house, I'm talking about in RP here not number of player chars.
I don't really agree with this statement "How would anyone, even a house, defend from Kusari, Colonial Remnant, Zoners and Corsairs? No way, that's how." Due to Bretonia having millions if not a billion of inhabitants, only Kusari is a true threat, the others are thorns in the side.
How are they not highly advanced? They are the foremost faction in space exploration and have taken technology from all over Sirius. They have some very nice firepower while at the same time being a mobile home for those onboard.
Apparantly it's only one of those said Juggernaughts that are keeping the Corsairs away from one of their Freeport's.
Take the ones away from other Freeports for instance that are not as much at risk and you have a small fleet.
The corvo is still a ship, even if it is sold to everyone.

but if i had to say. i would say i thought it was something that felt like it should be done. not to inconvience players of course.
So admit it, you were powergaming like so many do! No wonder folks are going elsewhere. I should start firing up the BF2142 again. At least I deal with someone in an instant who cheats in one of those servers!
