[quote=@ASTA] I wouldn't say he's 'inferior'--but Apedemak was made to be robust. Those that engineered him valued simplicity, durability, reliability, functionality, and redundancy over aesthetics and the implementation of state of the art technology, hence why his design paradigms (somewhat) mirror those of the august T-72 MBT or the A-10 Thunderbolt II and not customary aircraft or seacraft. Basically, he's a space tank--er, correction: a [i]super-heavy[/i] space tank with an over-clocked bundle of [s]torch drives[/s] nuclear salt-water rockets welded to his ass. A proper Lightning Bruiser if you will. [/quote] Whatever you like. But I will ask that you use a HSR2 or HSR3 ship, comparable to the ships other players will be making. It would make sense for you to have smaller escorts of your own race, since you're essentially a mercenary force. You could even be working for the enemies of the Kingdom- in fact, if you're in tereted, that might be an interesting way to go.
