And would happen to all the Zeus Thrones? Suddenly they'd become even more obsolete!

The plus versions would be worse than RP. But instead of costing, say 100b they would cost 30b and would be worse. And also be tech 20. Why are there for all other classes plus versions of their ships of tech 20.
EDIT: And would be obtainable not only by 0.5% of the playerbase. Those would be some good enough reasons. Why is there no UZ cap ship? Discrimination!

RP is nowhere near as hard as Olympus to do. If people aren't obtaining the blueprints, that's just their fault.

Soo your logic goes something like this:

You want more ships/content? You are just too lazy to skip that content altogether and get p21.

The solution to having only one ship at a given tech level isn't telling them to upgrade to the next tech. What about the frigate-BS, should those players also get RP ships?

I belive it is much harder. And why do you oppose new capital ships?
Some better versions of t20 cap ships should really help those without p21 or the support of a top team and 100b.
There is a plus version for freighters the pax astro plus. Even a plus plus, the rhino and the Hm. The app ward and the plus. Heavy fighter has rosmarinus plus, lion, pos wave, wattage etc.
Capital ships have only the dread, Zeus throne and the RP.. and a Zeus throne is quite useless. And the RP is only available to 0.5% of the people.

PBF and BS are both T20 alternatives to EFDN. I don't care if they add more T20 capital ships, but I'd expect a wee bit more creativity than simply putting in an EFDN+. And if an EFDN+ is really what you want, you should really just get P21 and do RP.

I do have the skill. I do have the money. I don't have the support/team.
Plus versions should be more accesible to those on not so end game teams.

Join a team that can and will do Oly runs and have the prods to build the ships.

But no, you like being the director of a team that never got off the ground a flew like a bird.

It was your choice. Either submit and prosper, or command and despair.
