Galnet Update 22 DEC 3306 - Investors Take Control of Lakon Spaceways
- Thread starter SCiARA
- Start date
Sounded like an unfinished word to me.
Sssh, me too... but I'm hiding from the secret mods, hoping I got away with one....
Maybe Core Dynamics could be persuaded to mount the FAS hardpoints around the sides of the cockpit a la Asp Explorer and turn it into a death machine 
And people call the Empire evil? What Hudson can't have, he takes via a proxy.
My first thought after reading that was
, followed by the realisation that the Alliance could teach Gutamaya how to build medium-sized ships.two ship builders who each have no imagination in ship design joining forces to create the ultimate flying brick.
I dont get how any other manufacturer hasn't put both of these companies out of business. Aside from core dynamics making some military ships for the fed, they dont offer anything meaningfully unique or particularly advantageous in design. Any child could design just as functional a ship and look probably the same.
in fact, Fdev hasn't really given the elite universe any reason why any of these ship manufacturers haven't consolidated into a single company. The ships from one manufacturer to the next dont have anything unique about them. The only thing justifying the existence of each company is apparently unalienable IP rights and a lack of any kind of ability for startups to get into the market. That and military contracts to a couple.

You've described a Hauler with an extra hardpoint.
Bonus is that the Hauler has two hardpoints, with only one active, but the second is there on the model

Remember it is Winter's party that has the Family connections to Core Dynamics.
Come to think of it, the Federation did have a big contract with Lakon for Diamondbacks to patrol for Onionhead.
That was done by Hudosn who chose Lakons' DBS over Core Dynamics offerings
The Rochesters are very connected to recent story arcs.
Isolde - The link for Winters' party.
Jupiter - Well... core dynamics CEO doesn't get more connected than this.
Jordan - Interestingly, one of the NMLA attacks was on Cemiess, and there was hint of insider knowledge to have made it possible for NMLA to further intercept and kill Aisling's father Harold Duval at the time.
Juno - With the current Federation Fleet Admiral Lucas Vincent locked away due to the Starship One incident, I believe there's a chance Juno becomes or already is the new one. I don't think we've had a galnet article yet updating us on that.

Oh my, that was awful to read... well done!
Hey, thanks for this. I'd had a vague recollection of who's who but I'd entirely missed out on the angle that Jordan could have leaked info to the Marlinist radicals!
Guilty as charged for murder of the English language, yer 'onner
(It did take a couple of 'tries' to get right!)
I just had a odd thought...
if they merge the assets of the two companies...
This may be a strategy from Frontier to discontinue the less popular ships from the game. its often done in real buyouts... keep the best... drop the worst and maybe the worst from the purchaser as well
