Re: Civilian Vessels and Armaments
What if the GTVA is busy fending off other pirate attacks?

And they always seem of have each and every ship occupied in some way.

And we've only seen them engaged in wartime operations which will naturally draw more heavily on their resources.

In general that's true, but what about after the horrific losses in Capella combined with a huge spike in piracy following the economic distress that would likely follow?

Re: Civilian Vessels and Armaments
What horrific losses? It was one fleet, that managed to evac Capella mostly intact. The only big loss here was the Colossus.

Hold on now. We know there was at least some Vasudan unit involved as well.

And Petrarch's statements can be taken both ways.

True. Canonically, nothing pretends it was only the Capella fleet + 13th (is that the correct number ?) Vasudan battlegroup, nor was it the whole GTVA fleet. Both versions can be defended, and I'm not affected about either of them.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

They had also just finished a massive war and crushed an uprising with massive losses, even if you only take into account the ships which broke away from the GTVA and were then eliminated.

True. On those grounds, you might even make a sensible story about yet another insurrection/rebellion after the second Shivan incursion on those grounds...  :shaking:

PI. Of course. I've yet to play that, actually.

...This is off-topic, but does the mod work acceptably with 3.6.10 Final? I've been hesitant to install and play it due to the fact that it perscribes a specific build of 3.6.9...

Re: Civilian Vessels and Armaments
It should, but even if it doesn't, I think the build is still available. Probably wouldn't kill to switch over to it for one campaign.

It's definitely worth a playthrough. Some extraordinarily tight mission design.
