![]() ![]() This is apparent in their cities, ships by Gutamaya and clothing of Imperial citizens. ĭue to the Empire's obsession with wealth projection, Imperial design puts an emphasis on opulence, style and quality with no expense spared. In the Empire very little is illegal, but many things are frowned upon, like excessive use of narcotics. They can order executions, and can even kill people themselves, though sometimes (rarely) they may be held to account for their actions by the Emperor. The Imperial Law is seen and enforced by Senators who themselves are above the law. Having an unpaid debt is seen as utterly dishonourable - an honourable Imperial citizen would sell themselves into slavery to clear a debt they couldn't otherwise afford. Whilst it is acceptable to flaunt wealth, treating people well is a question of honour - and this includes slaves. It values both status and honour very highly. Imperial society is based on a cliens system - much like ancient Rome - and strictly stratified, with people being able to move between strata based on money, patronage and influence. The Empire is also a proponent of human cloning rather than robotics. The Empire is less technologically dependent than the Federation, choosing to keep and employ slaves for the work which machines would usually perform in other parts of the universe. The Empire despises the Federation and everything it stands for, and vice-versa. The Imperial Palace, seat of the Emperor, is located in the city of Capitol on the planet Capitol in the Achenar system.Īlthough a peace treaty has existed between the Empire and the Federation since 2382, there have never really been any peaceful relations between these two old enemies. The reigning Emperor is Arissa Lavigny-Duval of the Imperial Family. It is the second largest major faction in the galaxy. The Empire, officially the Empire of Achenar, is a galactic superpower and hereditary monarchy. Emperor Trasken Duval II, undelivered draft speech and the universe awaits the firm hand of our governance. We need no dusty documents to assert our right! We are human, born to rule. There was more wisdom in a single nucleotide of his noble DNA than in all the Federation's written texts. He knew that the best achievement of humanity was humanity itself. They placed their trust not in man himself, but in an imperfect work of man.īut my ancestor - your first Emperor - was wiser. Of course, while i use this configuration only once a while when i need merit to get some PP equipment, anybody operating on the wrong side of the law might find the same properties of the ship quite appealing when acquiring cargo without paying for it.When our ancestors departed Earth, they asked themselves: which of our achievements represents the best of humanity, that we may bring it with us to illumine the darkness? The Federation, embroiled in a world of contracts and petty bickering, chose their Constitution. Yes, i wants gimballed weapons, but with those mounted it does quite a good job. While also being fast enough so nothing can outrun it, massive enough to masslock many targets and armed well enough to hold itself in a fight. Again, thanks to its high number of internal slots, it can bring everything it needs to interdict a freighter, launch hatch breakers and collector limpets, and still have sufficient cargo space. ) And due to it being faster than alternatives, flying from one rock to another feels a bit better.Ģ. ![]() (Would i do 4 hours mining sessions, I would pick a bigger ship, but for my usual time slots, the Clipper works well. It has enough slots to carry everything i need and big enough slots to carry home the load of a normal gaming session here. While i have a collection of ships, the clipper still sees use for two things:ġ. Personally I intend to build mine into a bounty hunter, stack up hull reinforcements and go ramming things. Mining: zip and zoom inside the rings from one asteroid to the next.Combat: you have a Class 8 Hardpoint: the bow.So think about ways to make the most of these qualities: Also the Supercruise handling is excellent. However, yeah, as the others have pointed out, it is FAST! And agile! With DD5 thrusters it would even be one of the best Mediums, never mind Large ships. Also it has very weak shields for an Imperial ship (even the Courier has stronger absolute shield), and atrocious hardpoint convergence. Yeah basically you got it, the problem of the Clipper is that it's got the internals of a Medium but doesn't fit on a medium pad, so it combines the disadvantages of medium and large ships. but I'll take it, as I've been thinking about what to do with my Clipper, too. I guess this thread belongs in the Ships subforum. ![]()
