Seriously though, that's what I was getting at. It'd still be completely impractical to actually use, and honestly anything the Death Star could do our Sun Crushers do better, and it'd be too powerful anyway. There's a reason we only have four Sun Crushers, and only licensed DOGA agents get them.

They're just the things we'd like every newbie to read, so we don't have to explain things over and over.
You obviously know the Original Series, so I won't bother with that, but here's the PPC Wiki and the very important article on getting Permission.
That's all, really. We'd like it if you looked around the wiki and read a few missions to get a sense of how we do things, but that's politeness, not essential.

No, I'm not going to shoot you. I'm going to POUNCE and HUG and GLOMP you instead, because freaking newbies out= fun! I gift you with gifts of a shiny crystal which is rather pointy and three yards of black alpaca yarn. Use them well, or if you can't figure out how to use them well, sell them and buy chocolate.

For one, the sheer number of people it'd require would be impractical, unlike the Sun Crusher which only needs one pilot. Also, we'd have nowhere to put it and it'd take too long to make.

Other than the default equipment (until the last mission RA/disguise, now TARDIS/disguise), my Agents just have some canon SW weapons.
I'm just pointing out just how dangerous that default equipment could be if it was abused...

Well I don't know about you, but the powers we have are: disguises (never used); portals (used for skipping the boring bits); and latterly Pads's wand, which only works in certain continua that are sufficiently warped. Other than that, it's brainpower and creativity.

I completely agree with that. I'm just arguing that there really isn't much of a reason not to IU.

Welcome to the PPC! Please leave your sanity at the door...yeah, in the bucket marked "Warg Fodder." We don't tend to have much use for things like that here. I gifteth thee with a shiny bit of crystal (it probably has healing powers or something else New Age-y) and two big black buttons. Enjoy!

the average Agent has an incredible amount of power at their fingertips in the form of their regular equipment. The Disguise Generator alone is so easily abused, and it appears to have nothing like the console-shutdown trick that the RA does. As for the TARDIS...

Their only absolute power is allowing or denying newcomers permission to write their own missions. They are not the Flowers. Nesh wasn't saying "no, you're not allowed to do that; she was saying "no, no PPCer uses a Death Star and it'd be wise to keep it that way."
That said, PGs also know what they're talking about, so if they say it's a bad idea, it usually is.

The Federation ship and the multiple portals were because we couldn't use a Sun Crusher - they're not for general use. Hence agents, except those in DOGA, don't, as Neshomeh said, have too much awesome power at their fingertips.

Hi! My name is Mariko. I hope to become an agent here. I heard about this place at www.livejournal.com/
You should see all the things that were added. I prefer the old ways of Jay and Accacia, though.
Anyway, I'm happy to be here, and hope I'll become an agent!
