Any interest in org funded Reliants?

[Montoya]

Now that we have some stats and imagery, let me gauge the interest in grabbing a few for the org.

I had no intention of getting starter ships, but the guys in mumble said they would be interested.

The variants might be of more interest to us, particularly the News Van for possible streaming on twitch.

Future Variants

• “Researcher” – A science-oriented model that carries internal signal dampeners and an advanced scanner suite for discovery missions.
• “News Van” – Designed for deep space broadcasting, the ‘News Van’ Reliant adds an Image Enhancement Suite that helps capture every moment of lfe in the stars.
• “Skirmisher” – The frontier combat version of the Reliant trades cargo for a high-yield powerplant, stronger shields and additional weapons mounts.

If there is interest, we will start a donation drive for 2-3, anything over we will use for giveaways and promotion of the org.

I would back an org reliant or 5..... more ships=bigger boom!!

As far as for the Org hanger? Not sure if they would make a big dent for us. Giveaways? Yes.

 

[Chairman Meow]

Gonna need at least a couple for in game propaganda videos!

In my opinion, Reliants are an affordable alternative for training our rookies on multicrew stations over other ships.

Giveaways and propaganda it is!

I want to say we'l have plenty of ships to send people out in that would be a bit more sturdy or plenty of personal multicrew ships that people can jump in on. Also have to think as well, do we really want 2 guys going around in a reliant when we can have 2 more live players gunning turrets on a retaliator or a gladiator? I believe 2 auroras would be more effective than a single reliant as well. The reliant is really kind of in an odd position. It's a good second tier ship I guess as CIG suggested, but if we have the manpower to use them, I think we could fill them in more effective seats. Having a few won't hurt, but I imagine these things will be very easy to get in the PU and we can just throw some in the hangar then.

I'm totally for having a few news vans to record and broadcast our most sensitive battle strategies.

 

[D3Mark]

If it was just a LITTLE bit bigger I would be picking one up but from what it looks like, it's a slow courier.

We need the News vans to capture the moment for when we fly a Bengal into the sun!

I think picking up as many cheap LTI ships as we can for giveaways to newer members would be awesome. I'm a little late to the game, coming in Feb/March of this year, and I picked one up as the first affordable LTI (that looks really pretty cool) and it would be sweet to pass some LTI love to later joiners down the line this summer. Newer future members to be will be greatly awarded with a ship like this as we move forward.

 

[mromutt]

We probably should have a few, the news van thing is really cool.

 

[GameFleek]

Shall we put it to a vote then?

[Syko Soldier]

the reliant should be a good starter ship for ppl

And now..... I might be turning mine into a news van... >.>

 

[mromutt]

hey if we had some of these could we call them company cars? So if you have to do something for the org you check out one of these XD . Lets face it, we need economy ships for day to day tasks that we ask people to do (or volunteer) and these can do a lot of tasks. And with LTI on them they are worry free.

 

[Montoya]

I dont think Im going to put to a vote, there is not much interest out there beyon you guys.

If anybody wants to donate, just hit the donate button and say its for the Reliant.

If we hit $50, Ill buy one, or if we come close, Ill just put up the difference. We will keep 1 for the org, anything will be used for giveaways and promotions.
