+--- Thread: Should there be a Xeno faction? (/showthread.php?tid=4617)
Should there be a Xeno faction? - Doom - 11-22-2007
and what weapons u think xenos could have'..they can dock only on their and few zoner bases...so pretty much sutingers, black widows and furys for them. Not much variations i see there. Maybe few codies.

Well, they maybe can't dock on Ageira base, but i don't see why couldn't they use Civilian weps? They are using ships, why not weps?
I didn't mean really just on wep. variation, more like loadout variation. For example :
4 sutingers, 2 debilitators.
2 BW, 2 sutingers, 2 debilitators.
2 BW, 4 sutingers.
etc.
And i would really, really hate to see a Xeno with Nomad blasters/cannons.
I don't know why, but Nomads are (as i see it) totally oorp for Xenos.
Codes are ok, i agree.

...err... uhh. I faintly remember something like that. I'm not good at PvP, so I get caught up in the heat of battle, rarely reading what I should. I'm new to real Roleplay as well, so forgive me if I failed remember the names of what I can and can't shoot at.
It just dawned on me that I had read something about the "Sons of Liberty" thing. Next time you see Apocolypse just shout out before he engages. Again, sorry.

The Sons of Liberty are an 'under the table' faction already. We carry no tag before our names and I like it that way, makes us more covert and illusive. We don't like announcing to the whole server who we are.
The Liberty government know who we are. The blue collar workers of Liberty think we are heroes. It's all as it should be.

' Wrote:Yes, that is what i said. Because i can't judge (i can, but i will not be sure in my oppinion) untill i try. It would work in a small scale, that is for sure.
Ship/Weps restrictions, yes. But, all to have the same ship+loadout? I don't think so. It would look like an army again, and not a terrorist group.
Again, just trying to help, don't shoot me:)
Agreed. Apocolypse is equipped just how I want it. If it had to be changed to meet some group criteria I'd stop flying her... er, John would stop flying her.
I'd fly an Eagle though. Those are nice. But REALLY prefer to have my Viper. Having a rich Zoner "Uncle" has paid off for John. If the Sons of Liberty and Meiun could get together somehow, a fleet might be obtainable, but otherwise you're dealing with a loose group of rag tag terrorists flying whatever scraps they can duct tape together.

duck tape..funny you using that word...
we actually role played few days ago about one of our ships need to be duck taped cause we didn't have the money to pay for repairs after big fight.

There are two ways of looking at ship choice for Xenos. Lots of different ships is good cos they have none of their own. So it gives the impression of a ragtag rabble... Problem is that there are very few that don't need a "I've got an RP reason why I can fly this ship I got from a hostile base" tag with them.
I can see both sides and don't have any strong opinions. I'd prefer to stick with those that you can buy where you can dock, so Vipers would be ok, just a long way from first recommendation.
On the choice of weapons, why are Nomads considers OORP. They are cobbled togther trophies as it says in their description. They are even available in Liberty space... and need a lot less explanation than ANY shield buster. If I were in the Xenos position with power hungry guns and heard of nomads in Alaska I'd go after them...

Maybe you are right... the concensus seems to be a faction would not be welcomed, not least by Xenos themselves.

@UnknownObject - It's oorp because there are more important stuff for Xeno then to go to Alaska shooting Nomads to get those guns, while they have even better guns at home. Why would they risk their lives for that? And as i said, it's not just that. Somehow, to see a "poor" Xeno, asking for donation for Xeno goal, having Nomad Blasters + Heavy CM + Nuclear mines + god knows what.. I can't imagine it. My ship will not be seeing anything that expensive, that's for sure.
And Debilitators don't need explaining, they are civilian weapons. Therefore, usable by anyone.

Where did you get your debilitators? Not all Civi weapons are accessible to Xenos. Zoner yes... Civi no.
Nomad Blasters are free. Just the weapons for "poor" Xenos... at least to me.
Try mounting 6 Black widows and see how long you can fire using your eagle... we may be poor but we are not stupid. If Nomads are made oorp for Xeno tags then I want to see a list of other tags which are affected. They are trophies... and are nearer to Liberty than any of the codename wrecks. In fact the thought of a terrorist scouring the Universe for Codenames seems a bit less in RP than going to Alaska.
