So now that the Vekimen have no FM, are you saying we can just do whatever we want with the faction, despite the fact I'm sure Edto would have specific instructions on who could/couldn't mess with them?Personally, I'm confused on the issue. I've been told by Wes personally that we should only worry about people's opinions when they are rping on the site, not people who left the site after being a nuisance to staff. So, why are we worrying about what Doc thinks about the situation? Sure, if it will help soothe some ruffled feathers, we can make the numbers lower. But its disingenuous to say that we can have a feel of a separate faction, but only have Yamatai's leftovers.
I don't really care that much at the end of the day, I just want another option for a ship besides an Ayana because, no offense, but they look dated and kind of stupid. I think the Raptor would be a good alternative and I like its look better than the Ayana. It'd be a waste to not allow any of the Lorath pages to be used period just because their FM left. Might as well take them off the site at that point.
If it's not special then you don't need it.No, you misunderstand; I'm specifically referring to the Vekimen. Keep those out.
Now, staying on topic, the tech in them isn't anything particularly special and can be acquired off the shelf pretty easily. What I'm specifically looking for though, is logistical complication, and a good setting element to give the feeling that our military is a hodgepodge of all sorts of odds-and-ends. I point out that Israel, after its founding, used a very motley mix of vehicles and equipment. Their tanks for an example, ranged from M4 Shermans to AMX-13's to Cromwells. I'm trying to capture the same feeling here, and the messy feeling of having to deal with so many different pieces of equipment from so many different sources.
That doesn't really meet my threshold for suspension of disbelief. Unless it's an actual detachment from Yamatai's Imperial Guard to help Asteria, or unless Asteria gets its own Empress... I just don't see this having much sense.@Fred - my line of thinking is that though both nations will have their own Imperial Guard, that they're "of Yamatai" or "of Asteria" should be enough. That, in addition to how different they are in application should make it difficult to mistake one for the other.
