Yeah well, perhaps the Admins could consider Unselie's inital proposal instead of your LSF guys wrecking the only (currently) viable alternative route through liberty between california and colorado. One that doesn't require going through New York. I think Ontario/Alberta/Yukon should be roleplayed and opened up by Liberty corporations (and Planetform etc), and we should do the same in other systems across disco. It would be good to see the RP developing, the systems slowly being opened up across several mod updates, rather than a "WHAM! We'll put a guard system here and let's bling it up instantly!"
I don't know. You did suggest sharing the system, and that's very generous of you, but it also wouldn't really be able to work with the slow RP opening up of the systems anyway. How about the admins add another system into the game leading off from Alaska as your guard system?
You'd be more likely have it out there anyway due to all the LSF experimentation on Nomads and the like. Ontario is in a pretty "open" and also stupid RP position as a "top secret" area for the Liberty Security Force who don't want anyone prying, considering it has 3 jumpholes into that system, all of which are widely known about and quite heavily used. Don't forget, the ONLY other area with any LSF presence whatsoever is Alaska, and look how "top secret" and heavily fortified/dangerous that is supposed to be. It makes no RP sense to have the LSF in Ontario, right out in the open through a quite reasonably trafficked area of space (and yes i know quite a few smugglers used go through Alaska, but its quietened down considerably since you started locking down the Alaska jg, which is one of the things you should always have been doing anyway).
So yeah, in recap, I think requesting a new guard system connected to Alaska for the LSF and buffing up Alaska's defences as well (maybe give it LSF patrols instead of just navy) would be much better RP. Then the LSF will go through Alaska even more to their fortified guard system, which will also retain the premise of being uber top secret and difficult to reach in terms of RP and even practical physical purposes. Plus maybe even some extra interesting RP for Alaska and i'm sure smugglers will start thinking even harder.
humm let me ask something,,,, (not searching for flame) but The TAZ have baffin since 4.84. But Baffin was an Highway to Magelan to sell Engine components... No one complained... so why now?
Unless admins say that we cannot buy it, we will buy it, we had the idea to buy that system since 2 months after the begining of the LSF (end of 4.83) but at that time we didn't have enough time to collect money and contact an editor. If admins dont care about this one,,, If you want it, you'll have to buy it...
Me and sniper will try to make the system RP-able. We need a guard system not necessarly for pride but to sell our RavenClaw (Ship that is supose to be use only by LSF and a kusari faction) on it because everyone is using it sometime in an abusive way...
UNTIL AN ADMIN SAY SOMETHING WE WILL BUY IT
But If Igiss add a system connected near Willard (nomad experiments) or in Alaska, We could maybe buy one of them
Oh, slightly off topic on the ideas regarding Canadian systems, but regarding progress being made in the story and the like, I'd like to see the IMG station in Cambridge be taken over by BMM, nationalised due to the IMG's support for the Kusari war effort. Things like this would be cool, I think.
@ blunt, it could be a good thing since It could Act like a semi-Dinamic world
For example, Kusari won The Tau
Mollies have more control in Dublin
Nomad (keepers) have restructurated themself and are more active in Sirius
Rheinland is trying to increase patrol in Hudson and Bering
Corsairs have built an outpost in Iota (unsure for the name)
etc.
' Wrote:I think Real World comparisons are necessary, actually.
What would you say if there was a Planet New Mexico City in the Mexico system, under Liberty control? Or a Planet Melbourne in Rheinland? Or Planet Moscow in Bretonia? I'd be against it.
The back story to Freelancer shows a rather advanced Earth with people leaving Earth and having to flee from space warships.
Canada, Mexico and the US could have become one Economic Union, similar to the EU, sharing one currency, one central bank and eliminating passports for travel and having no work restrictions. This could easily explain why there could be a New Mexico City in the Mexico System under Liberty Control. Same for an Alberta System under Liberty Control.
The past of the Freelancer 'verse, appears to be far in our own future. In a way, sort of like "The Earth that was" appears in the Firefly 'verse. There simply doesn't appear to be any major points of information regarding what the old world/ways were like in the game.
i'm all for developing the empty systems...even if it's just putting some asteroid fields and some wrecks....just something to explore.
i am however, as i said in another thread, against guard systems...especially new ones. i'm foggy on exactly what purpose they serve in the grand RP scheme of our RP server. just a place to go hang out alone? everything you can do in a guard system can and should (in my opinion) be done in the house capital system.
develope the empty/guard systems for the expansion of the mod. so that all can enjoy. making these beautiful systems like vespucci and the BHG system just for one faction just seems a waste to me.
make a guard AREA in an existing capital system and leave the rest of sirius for us players.
sorry for ranting again but the more i think about this the more i'm bothered by it. how many guard systems do we have? how great would it be to have them added into the discovery mainstream?
I'm with mon'star.
I fully intend to make Salisbury look interesting, and lack many guard NPCs.
A bowex base, a guard BS, some BMM in an asteroid feild.
Instead of uber fighters, train convoys. Just a bit of a colony.
Maybe later on I can build a gate construction project.
If thats expensive, well, last time I measured my Sirius net worth, it included about a billion in liquid credits.
If thats forbidden, I'll prolly not have Salisbury modded.
