Make the Corvus greyhound available at all capitol class stations

Jun 17, 2021 biretak link
Essentially, have the Corvus Greyhound be available at all capital class stations, not just Odia M14.

I look at this as an equity issue:

Being able to home at a nearby station, when putting oneself in a situation of higher risk, is a basic and essential tactic in this game, yet there is only one place to "replace" your Greyhound on the entire map, even though there are several capital-class stations in a reasonable distribution throughout the 'verse.

For example: losing a Greyhound in a botched hunt, and having go get another many systems away is one thing, but winding up having to do the same thing out of initros, or cantus for that matter, is a bigger, if not a much bigger task.

This would, of course, be standings-dependent.

I credit Usharak for the bulk of this idea.

Do people not understand what belongs in a suggestions forum?

[OH the irony! -W]

It is based on the logic of the other suggestion. Corvus wants to profit from distribution of their ships. So a distribution plan that profits factions makes sense. With proper standings of course.

-1 to the suggestion anyway, makes no sense corvus would do that. Will serco start selling proms to everyone for profit? Itani X-1s making their way to Sol II?

I trust the mods to edit my post if I have violated the rules anywhere :)

Proms and x1s are nation battle ships. Serco and Itan would not want those shps spread for profit. The greyhound is a glass ship, that isn’t threatening. Your PS probably violates rules, since it’s personal.

At least to the extent that seems silly that hounds are not available in more Corvus stations. Should at least be available in each system where corvus is present.

Never understood why that was the case. Having them available in sedina and bractus stations makes sense.

As for the OP :

SCPs and X-1s were examples. You could extend it to any corp in UIT. Why would a faction not want to make profits by having their ships sold everywhere? Why would only corvus want these profits?

If anything, other nations would disallow corvus from selling ships, as they don't have friendly relations with them(It's a shady greyspace faction).

There are a couple issues here...

1) There has already been opposition to the nerfing of greyhound purchase locales: I happen to agree that the restriction of hound acquisition doesn't make much sense and should be rolled-back, yet, i can appreciate the nerfing from the perspective that it truly matters for naught-- I mean, it got pruned from a 3-system availability to a 1 system pinpoint?...While, at the same time. we're talking about a ship that can zoom to anywhere faster than anything else can...basically: whatever your motive, you can't put up much fuss about the purchase location of a ship that can be piloted to anywhere else on the map in the shortest period of time.
