Bruce,
I give up. Your ideas concerning the Third Imperium setting is simply too far divorced from the concensus view of the setting for any common ground to be found. You and I are debating apples and oranges.
Your complete inability to understand that tech levels in the setting are not precisely the same as tech levels in the rules is just one example of your differing view. Your inability to understand the nature of travel/comm lag imposed by jump drive or the ad hoc, 'men not laws', nature of Imperial governance are two others. Given free trade and jump drive of the setting, your thinking that knights in shining armor still exist next door to grav tanks is beyond belief. As is the idea that T-34 and Spitfire crewmen will be recruited by grav cavalry.
Even your own arguments fail to have any internal consistency. Up thread you argued that no rich person would invest in a mercenary company because it would be too risky, then in your last post you present an example of a rich merchant doing precisely that. Go figure.
My involvement in this thread is over. Have fun talking to yourself.
Finis,
Bill
