' Wrote:Really Eppy? More with the unfounded Corsair bashing? Isnt it getting old for you yet? I love the in your mind the cause of every single problem for the game is the Corsairs. First all the Corsairs did was cancel their alliances with the CR, mind you, exactly what would be expected in rp. I suggest you go and look to the other members of the council of Dons for blame on that, but I guess it's just like your views on Omicron Eta, not an outcast to be seen anywhere, huh?

' Wrote:Okay, Michael, what the hey? What kind of Corsair bashing is that? Where did I bash the Corsairs? I didn't bash the Corsairs, and I'll thank you to stop labeling my irate observations as attacks. All I did was point out how many alliances the Outcasts have had taken from them and how the last attempt at a nonaggression pact (not a freaking alliance, a simple agreement to stop shooting each other because it was a colossal waste of resources for both sides) got stepped on. I called the CR up when the pact went down in flames and said 'Oi, what happened?' and you know what they said? "The Corsairs and the IMG complained." The IMG would, I'm sure, but the Corsairs? How would they even know? It's not like we did this in open summit; when are the Corsairs ever even in the Taus? Never, I'd hope, because that's a colossal violation of ZOI. I am sick and tired of every post I make being labeled Corsair bashing, and I will thank you all to stop.

Hammer time.

' Wrote:There are major flaws in the logic of this so called 'alliance'.

First of all, in RP, the Order have far more advanced technology than any Corsair can dream of. Just because the Titan was considerably superior to the Anubis in the vanilla game, it doesn't mean the Corsairs had more advanced tech. It's just the developers' way of making the game harder for the player. There's a single difficulty level, but the game gets gradually harder as you go through Bretonia.. Kusari.. Rheinland and so on, with Liberty being the easiest of them and the Omicrons being the hardest. So this is where the discovery devs failed, which is messing the game mechanics with roleplay.

Secondly, much like their other allies (the Hogosha), the Corsairs are genuine artifact smugglers, clearly something the Order wouldn't tolerate. The Order are a very complex organization, whereas the Corsairs have a form of organization, they are still basically ruthless pirates, that would care less about the fate of manking. So, another mismatch of the two.

And thirdly, it's the devs' fault that they created Omicron Delta as a clashing point between these two factions. Why would the Corsairs build a base in Delta and not in Kappa first, I have no idea, but it lacks any logic. And as far as I'm concerned, Omicron Minor was linked to a sector of Omicron Beta, the one with the nomad lair.

This stuff needs fixing, for the sake of RP. Of course, there are many people against taking action, probably because they're too attached to their factions or something, even though their stories are pretty much ridiculous due to this.
