  Guardian ships  

Ok, im wondering why the guardian race cant use the saphs and lictors, since they are classed as guard ships in the manual. Kinda seems strange that i cant build a ship which is supposed to belong to my race.

well i suppose it does make sense lol, but still would be nice to have lictors haha. Though with those combined with what guards alrdy have would make like 6-8 really strong stacks(with the 3 K class) without hving to touch neutral ships at all

ahahahaha i wanna see a guard try to use livids in a stack in high pr. you`d be bleeding money in both upkeep AND minerals :P
plus, why`d you want those ships when your own native guard shiplist has better stuff?

Well to try to stay somehow in the storyline:

Guardians developed the ships, but found out they were too expensive to maintain in their fleet (upkeep way higher than other guard ships). Thus they gave the technology to a wealthier race such as A.miners.

As ScarletTears said the guards gave the A.minors those ships/they found them and REd them. If terrans gave some1 a bunch of tyrs they wouldnt just stop making them themselves would they?. No, kinda seems strange to me that a ship cant be built by those who are said to have developed them.

Lordaeron, you misunderstand me. I wasnt asking why do A.minors have gaurd ships. I was asking why as a gaurd cant i use the Lictors or Saphires

DarkJackal,if I follow your logic,then why would Marus have D class ships ,since they belong to the Dark Marauder race ? Simply,to make the race more entertaining and attractive,as well as somewhat balanced.

@DarthSparks : Some older virals like BW used to have Livids in their shiplists and such,however RE-ing G class has been disabled since ancient times. RE-ing D class was recently disabled and all Virals who owned such in their shiplists,got them restarted by Maraudian and given a new choice of shiplist.

No all virals got a ship list reset when they were outlawed.

arnt there still old viral empires with d.clas and g.class ??

And that`s because so many virals Had D.class Ships we felt they were over powered, since they could not only build high and make money there, but it made the viral race seriously unbalanced.

And REing... d class and g class ships are disallowed for virals now

the guardian gave those ships to the miners so hence they are of guardian origin but as infernal stated they have to be kept in the guardian shiplist so that they can remain uncaptureable

those are miner ships, they`re classed as guardians to avoid capture
