I wake up after a year long cryogenic treatment, and what do I see? Capsuleers discussing who is stronger then whom, with no second thought spent on what they are seeing in the image.
The reason this doesn't look like a Gallente station, is... the station is not in the camera image. One has to wonder whether it even still exists.
Mr. Kuvakei, when you say this thing is yours, you mean it quite literally, don't you. This is your capital ship. It is also a Jovian Mothership, which by any other standards is a Titan, like the other ships surrounding it. And if I recall my history lessons correctly, one of those things was responsible for the destruction of most of the Ammar fleet.
Now, there are only two ways for you to get one of those: you got it from the defecting Jove admiral (would he really have access to one of those?), or you refurbished a Jovian Mothership wreck.
Analysing the force carefully... You do create those out of our wrecks, don't you. There would be no other reason for your fleet to be such a rag-tag assembly. In fact, that is a pretty smart way to deal with the enormous amount of resources that creating a Titan takes, even if you have an entire Nation at your disposal.
In any case, if Sansha managed to restore the Mothership's weaponry, whoever gets to battle this fleet will have to deal with losses as heavy as those of the Ammar fleet during their assault on the Jove. So much for the irrelevant occupied Jove station.
Now, as everyone can see from my relationships with the empires, I am not interested in politics or upholding one nation above another. I am, however, interested in new technology. I will probably have to re-learn using the current generation of scan probes, but I am sure it will be well worth it. (Congratulations, Mouse. If this ... disease wouldn't have gotten me a year ago, I would have had the same goal as you.)
As to Sansha not having original thoughts: we have a saying where I come from: Better well-stolen than badly invented. Looking at the ship designs of other outlaw factions, I am sure some capsuleers will agree.
