New Order of Battle
Though the OOB is not quite official just yet, we've implimented the new system and made it live.
The biggest change you'll see is that there is no more individual fleets, and we've been split up by task forces.
The other major change is the lack of ship requests. There is no more requesting of ships. The Logistics office has complete control. If you feel you need a ship added for whatever reason, email the LO and ask him nicely. Please provide all the reasons you can muster. THE LO'S WORD IS FINAL!! If he/they say no, that's it. There's no changing it. Appealing to the FC,XO or IO won't change it. We're at the LO's mercy on this as well.
Squad/wing placements on ships are now dynamic, and I know alot of you have been used to being on one ship for so long (IE: Gold and the McGrath), this may change in the future.. (Which is why right now there are no squad placements). This is done for a purpose, we're all part of the RS and at any given time ships will be exchanged as needed in times of war.
Any other qestions can be directed at the LO, but please be patient for a response.

Whoa Whoa Whoa!!! Joshy are you trying to say that Gold may not be stationed on the McGrath in the near future? Blasphemy! Totally unacceptable! .... I think I'm gonna cry... FA Dave Trebonious-Astoris - Tue Dec 26 2006, 1:05pm
As always, you all can feel free to contact the FC (me) about any issue. I cannot promise that I'm going to make everything go your way, of course, but I'm happy to talk with people about their concerns. FA Rahj Tharen - Wed Dec 27 2006, 1:33pm
Nice job. As the original creator of the RS OOB I'm curious as to what happened to the RS flagship, Rebel Spirit? If this isn't the best place to ask, I apologize, was just wondering about that. GEN Petr Tagge Margul - Wed Dec 27 2006, 6:52pm
Gavin is right. It's just madness. Do you know how long it's going to take to transfer my booze stash (emphasis on MY, Spokes) to another ship? Insanity! COM David Vaughan - Wed Dec 27 2006, 10:16pm
The Rebel Spirit was, for some reason, a Home One-class Calamari Cruiser, according to the information on the website. As we were altering the Order of Battle to be more realistic --- and since the ship had not appeared in any official source material that I could find --- we did not include it.The Imperial-class Star Destroyer Redemption is now the de facto flagship of the RS, being the most powerful ship we have to field. This way it cuts down on superfluous vessels, allowing it to be the RF's ship, and the RS's strongest ship, simultaneously.

David, the source material for the existance of a second Home-One Class Mon Cal Cruiser used to be documented on the RS FC website where the ship was profiled. It wasn't RS created source material. This from the Ship Tech commentary by theforce.net:http://www.theforce.net/swtc/mcc.html#home1
Scroll towards the bottom when they give a nerdy scientific explanation of what ships were the surviving capital ships for the Alliance at the Battle of Endor.
"In summary, there was at least one cruiser of Home One type, another example may have survived past Executor's demise, and there may have been a third sibling disintegrated early by the Death Star II. There were at least two of the winged Liberty type, and at least one was destroyed. There were at least four of the [anonymous wingless] type, of which at least two survived the Battle of Endor."

Oh, I'm not contesting that other Home One-class cruisers didn't exist (although Saxton himself does go a bit overboard at times . . . the Endor Holocaust anyone? And poorly-drawn-Star Destroyer with two engines instead of three being a whole new line of Star Destroyers . . . ), the realism part comes from the idea that the New Republic didn't set us up with much to start with (a few cap ships, a few fighters), and that gradually over time we've built up the armada we field today (through continued support by the New Republic, capture and refitting of enemy ships, purchase of extra ships from third-party shipyards, and the construction of new vessels with our own, and allies, shipyards).Put simply, a Home One-class vessel is just too powerful to easily justify having out in the galactic backwater that is Wild Space / extreme Outer Rim.
Especially when you consider that some sectors out here were defended by the Empire (during the Empire's height) by a lone Star Destroyer . . . while we've inflated the enemy forces out here considerably in order to give ourselves something worth fighting, a Home One-class vessel is too expensive, rare and powerful for us to be fielding. At least as far as I can tell, and the Logistics Office as a whole, which is why we didn't include it.
