' Wrote:I feel like I must express my uncertainty regarding such concept of Lane Hacker ships travelling through Alaska (and 2 Guard systems). I find this somewhat unfeasible considering the risk involved in doing so for a faction as small as them. Why would the hacker have more ease to travel through these systems when the Order has been doing so for years (17-18 in fact).

I strongly believe that it would be more logical for the Hackers to act as a contact instead of a courier for the Order. The Order, from my viewpoint, is more adequate and fitted to travel through these systems without being killed by nomads (after all, they've been fighting them for 18 years) or captured/killed by Liberty Navy.

About Xenos, I would remove the part involving Mollies. In fact, I would be inclined to leave Xenos as some kind of wild card when in Bretonia

Liberty Corps

Liberty is pretty much closed to anything going to or coming from Rheinland. Whoever is shipping them. There are some exceptions, who are then told to go back home from Libertonians or Rheinlanders. I feel like this part is not reflecting what has been going on for the last 1.5 years on disco.

Amazing that I didn't notice these things when the Liberty storyline came out (internally)

Yup.

' Wrote:I'd say it isn't that bad. And I understand the Xenos part. It's what I think they call in English a preemptive war

Though of course as a Hellfire Legionnaire I must express my disappointment on the total exclusion of our faction, though I understand the Vespucci part is just a mistake.

Faction X: "WE NEVER WILL WORK WITH FACTION Y TOGEHTER!"
Dev. team: "You will!"
first part of the 4.86 story I dont like in most points.

I'm not part of any faction whos RP will be changed a lot... but

just my opinion. not well done.

Please don't make me pull up my test build screenshots.

' Wrote:In relation to player factions controlling the NPC factions future.

Currently Disco runs by a system where there are set updates with set roleplays knotched on them.
IE, Kusari invades Bretonia.
From then till the next update, the players play that roleplay out and develop upon it.
Then the next update comes.
Kusari is at peace with Bretonia.
Players play that roleplay out and develop upon it.

However, currently it is not a faction leaders decision what his faction does but a developer question.

This usually does not cause issues, as the developers are usually aware of the roleplay going on and if it's sensible, are happy to add it into the mod.
However there are times where developers do not find certain factions roleplay sensible and do not add it into the mod and can sometimes add in contradicting lore to the mod.

This results in players finding their roleplay development was useless and for nothing. It also highlights that it is not a players choice how his faction progresses.


Discovery's roleplay development is decided upon by the Devs, Igiss being included there, and not by non-devs.
Devs though, it should be noted, are also players just like you or I.
Most factions have developers in them or developers interested in them.
Some don't and as such, get kicked around a good deal.

It comes down to a small conclusion.
Disco's development is in the hands of the developers, not non-developers.

If you want a change to this scenario, make a thread about it.

' Wrote:I'm still reading the thread and I dunno if this has been addressed yet or not, but you're saying, Zelot, that since the Hellfire Legion wants to determine what they do and what sort of faction they are, instead of leaving it up to a totally disinterested party who probably doesn't care about them at all in the greater scheme of things, they don't get to be included at all?

So the Colonial Remnant shouldn't be included in any storyline, ever, at all, because they want to decide how their faction acts towards other factions instead of letting the devs decide everything, when the devs have no reason to care about them at all.

THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE, TOTALLY.
Oy! Be nice to Anne!
Basically this.
So factions don't decide what those factions do because the devs think "no that's stupid we shouldn't let them decide how to rp their rp"

So this is what Disco really is. I think we're done here, gents.
