Remove the Serco Dominion

Someone had to say it.

Below are some, if not the most popular reasons why the Serco must be removed from VO:

To begin: the Serco Skycommand Prometheus has far too high turbo thrust, armour, maneuverability, and can bring too many weapons to a fight. This on many occasions has angered the Itani, and members of that nation will agree that the top tier Prometheus' strengths have to be downplayed, if not deleted entirely.

Secondly, the Serco Vulture Guardian has too high of a top speed, with much too high of an acceleration and turbo thrust. An SVG can keep up with most Valkyries; which is, once again - unacceptable. The Serco having the ability to engage and disengage from a battle, or for that matter have a formidable interceptor on par with other nations is a travesty. This must end.

The Serco also have two points of ingress/egress into grey space. This is an incredibly unfair advantage since Itani have half the exits into grey (the UIT have three, but they are neutral in the backstory conflict). Without a bottleneck the Serco have the ability to circumvent Ukari A-10; this puts the Itani on severely unequal footing not to mentions lessens player interaction and the ability for conflict.

On the other side of the universe is Deneb: the Serco, while lacking a station of their own (and turrets on the upper half of their northern border) have favoured fleet positions when participating in battles. These positions allow the Serco better vantage positions from which to form attacks and rally defences. The Serco also have favoured warp-in points to the battles, once again, leaving the Itani Nation at an irreconcilable disadvantage.

Not all nations are created equally. The Serco Dominion has several differences, some may even say, advantages over other nations. The Serco are not only unbalanced, but are grossly unfair fixture of the game and the VO community - especially when compared to the Itani. The Serco nation should not only be neutralized, but these unfair advantages are so damaging and deleterious to the game and it's community that the Serco nation needs be removed completely and unequivocally. The rest of the nations, especially the Itani, have struggled enough under these unfair advantages that have been granted toward a twisted group of players who have chosen red.

Yeah, no. If you don't like losing to SCPs make a Serco alt. the fact of the matter is that very few experienced players actually fly SCPs, and an experienced valk pilot can take one on and win. Yeah the prom is a tank, but it is a big target that is easy to hit, whereas a valk or IBG excells at not getting hit. Learn to use the strengths of each ships design.
Also, what would be the point of VO with out the Serco-Itani conflict?

We could have an Itani V Itani conflict instead

Viking has a point.

The SCP is a flying Medium Tank, wtf did you expect? Medium tanks are supposed to be fast.

The SVG is an INTERCEPTOR, it was meant to be fast.

About the Deneb thing: yeah the Serco have an Advantage over Itani. But who cares? Nobody does Deneb anyway.

Am I the only one to realise that the OP is just trolling you idiots?

He is not! It is a serious suggestion!

Suggestion: Remove Spiderbait. VO has too many spiders already.

The one you're not part of.

As a part time member of the sometimes proud Serco dominion, I can confirm we are overpowered and should be removed from the game.

Those are all valid reasons, definitely persuaded that we should remove the Serco Dominion.

Funny you want me removed, ARF. You've levelled all of these arguments against the Serco at one time or another, some several times even. Thought you'd be behind this 100%!

Come on Itani! Let's balance the game and fairness to the universe!

This belongs in the RP forum.

And also just call it the "Itani SkyCommand Prometheus" once you have removed the Serco Dominion. The Itani can just have a tank and an awesome light fighter than.

While you're at it, please also remove the UIT. They're kinda annoying. Come to think of it, the Itani will be a bit at disadvantage then. Please also give them the "Itani Raptor UDV". How will they be able to see in storms if we don't give them that?

Spiderbait, I'm perfectly aware of what the purpose of this thread is, thanks. It belongs in RP though, not in Suggestions.

The universe will be united and finally at peace once every Serco and UIT follow the Path of Eo (or die trying)

This thread does not belong in RP. The RP forum is not a fucking trash bin. (Yes, I realize it's hard to tell lately.)
Aug 07, 2015 Ore link
This is the suggestions forum. And yes it is a trash bin/lobbying forum.
Aug 07, 2015 abortretryfail link
Yep, this thread belongs in the trash bin.
