I saw quite a few people complaining about Imperial CMDRS flying Corvettes or Fed CMDRS Flying Cutters but it actually seems to be a legit thing.

what kind of herecy is this?!?!

 

[kpmop]

Yeah the Feds get their guys seconded to the imperial navy and get them to rank up so they can buy cutters. I expect the imperials do similar so they can buy corvettes. The alliance has the right idea though - just sell to anyone with enough cash.

Edit, sorry. Mistook it for pirate ship.


Let's pretend it's pirates in stolen navy ships doing it.

I would not surprised if it'll be CMDR, but it is NPC. I've never seen such thing yet.

 

[moorison]

Some time ago there were conflict zones with imperial and federal forces and the wrong battle cruiser for each party.

Alliance CMDRs used to steal Fed and Empire ships until we got our own

We still have a couple Imperial cap ships to put into action, though....

And then once they took them out and flew them around, went right back to stealing again.

All "naval" rank is strictly honorary and CMDRs can fly any ship they want to.
I am ranked both full Admiral and King so, which ship should I fly?

Where does a bear sit when it enters the room? Wherever it wants.
I fly them both. I fly them whenever and wherever I want. o7

It still doesn't seem right, to me, that the Rebel Alliance fly Nebulon B frigates. [where is it]

 

[zeke312]

The picture was taken in the Wangal system. Wangal is controlled by the Empire. They therefore own the shipyards, and Imperial-class ships are offered for sale there rather than Federal ones.

So, for the local yokel NPCs lookin' fer a fight, they go down to the shipyard looking for an off-the-shelf warship... and all they can buy is Gutamaya stuff. So, everyone buys Gutamaya ships, no matter what allegiance they plan on fighting for.

what kind of herecy is this?!?!

Everything seems to be optional and some around here even think this is a good thing.

Know your enemy. Explanation no1.

Other than that - "professional" approach from the given navy. Like this one:

 

[Morbad]

Not terribly rare, nor particularly implausible.

Most arms manufacturers, even heavily nationalized ones, have export versions. Afterall, that military industrial complex that keeps the toys rolling out can't get by on just tax dollars.

Milk Chocolate variety.
