RE: Reapers Of Sirius - Black Widow - 08-16-2015
Never liked RoS RP, ex Omicron Alpha residents / pirates turned omega viglantes. No thanks.
Being here since 4.84 I saw what RoS used to be versus what they became later on. Their extinction was inevitable! Reuse their stuff don't resurrect them...

They are at least much less ridiculous than the coalition, so I don't see why they can't be resurected if there is people wanting it.

Oh realy. Vanilla content has rumors about Coalition sabotager on board the Hispania. I don't see anywhere in HISTORY about Reapers of Sirius, at all. A small group of coalition survivors is always possible as it originates from Vanilla content. You can't call an official part of the Story/Lore of Freelancer 'ridicoulus'.

Making RoS tech Sirius Unlawful would be great, that tech can't be just thrown away.
As for Cayman, let the devs make their decision, I see in this thread too many opinions with bias in them.

Wait, isn't that the insert that Discovery made for the Coalition? The only thing I recall from the Hispania was a system failure, and a split amongst the crew about ditching the ship, or keeping with it (Corsair/ Outcast divide). Each of those sides blaming the opposite one for having a hand on the torn fate of the Hispania is one of the reasons of the animosity between the two Hispanian factions.
That "coalition saboteurs infiltrated the Hispania while it was still in Sol" and managed to cripple the ship comes afterwards, from the minds of the folks of this community.
If you wanna argue that this is in the infocards and rumors, you better go get the vanilla game ones, not the ones available at Disco 4.88.

It's the same 'tech' as everything else but with a different skin.
You can get the same 'tech' on virtually any other base lol
Unless you're talking about the effects.
Because I agree with you there.

@Peregrine
The Hispania was one of the five colossal "Sleeper" colony ships sent by the Western Alliance to the Sirius Sector. It was sabotaged, some say by Coalition agents, and half of its occupants used escape pods to abandon the ship, becoming the Corsairs. The other half stayed and drifted with the ship, eventually founding a separate colony and becoming the Outcasts. The remains of this ship can be found in the Omicron Alpha system, drifting in the vicinity of the Outcast capital world of Malta. It is also possible that the nomads attacked the colony ship but this is unlikely because the nomads were not in Sirius at the time. Hispania is possibly made up of any spanish speaking nation

This content of the saboteurs wasn't continued inside Vanilla. But in Discovery, however the origin is clearly from Vanilla content. The question was before it was implemented into Discovery "Is it reality or not?" and discovery decided to continue the story of the saboteurs and make them reality, not rumors.
This is something like "Is Sol destroyed or not" originally it was cut, but additional content has it that Sol got crushed by Nomad Suncrush which Discovery did continue from.

Hypothetically, were the RoS to make a comeback (as an openly playable NPC faction), their lore would have to be heavily revised to be compatible with modern Discovery. Having Cayman being captured by the Coalition is also not an impossibility. That said, deciding on RoS' future is secondary to more fundamental mod work, such as the system layout updates currently being worked on.
RE: Reapers Of Sirius - Lythrilux - 08-16-2015
In that case then, can't the admins just release the faction assets for other members of the community to try something then? Many people have offered in the past, but the problem always boils down to the assets not being released and just collecting dust within the confines of Cayman.
RE: Reapers Of Sirius - Shinju - 08-16-2015
I would rather see Reapers rest in peace.
And do we need another Omicron/Omega faction?
I mean, Hessians, Corsairs, Coalition, The Order, The Core, Noms, Outcasts, BHG are already fighting each other...
