The commonwealth military seems to be supplied by Pacific Defense Corporation.
Alot of ships are made by whoever owns them. :roll: It would be better if they where supplied by a company in that sovereign.
United African States makes most of the ships used by the corp and the black market.
Crying is not a proper retort!

Would be useful to have a gerneral overview of Factions and their suppliers in order to discuss this properly. :wink:

Sorry, my mind was still tuned in on the discussion of hero ships and variations of ship equipment & which faction should be most ..uh... various.
There a little background of this sort would be helpful.

@goat
Was that in reply to my last message? Cos I don't get the connection.
Maybe I was too undefined in my choise of words.
What I meant was, that having the background to the factions/ sovereigns could proof useful when one wanted to discuss if a certain faction/ sovereign should have variations in their ships equipment or be more standartisized.
E.g. a large military force like the commonwealth is likely to have standart equipment for their ships, since it's cheaper (to buy in bulk), easier to train & replace crew etc.
A group like pirates on the other hand is likely to be a mix of all kinds of salvaged, stolen and otherwise gotten ships & equipment.

I'm pro-Commonwealth, so if the game ever goes multi-player, I'll be aiming for GnS :lol:

If ship info becomes more detailed during the game without having to consult xml docs, this would be needed for a 'stat screen'. Right now it doesn't seem that there is anywhere that you can really see the manufacturer while playing.
