Order and 'Nomad harvesting' - Fletcher - 08-20-2008
The other day I flew my bomber into Omicron Minor, since I believe I have made my reputation as Order'ly as its going to get without too much effort, anytime I see red names on my screen I think "Oh dear, hunters or lawfuls coming to Toledo camp..."
Then as I got closer I saw 3 gunboats of various classes and IFF, however 2 had Order ID and one had a Freelancer ID.
There was 1 Bretonia gunboat, a Kusari gunboat and I think a Liberty Gunboat. I know the Order is multicultural but this is ridiculous. Also, BMM, Police and Interspace IFF? Come on folks.
All these three did was sit outside Toledo murdering Nomads (as nice as it is), but then they fly through Alaska then God knows where with Nomads and BHG in the hold. (No complaints on BHG part).
I sincerely hope Liberty blew them up. These guys were shielded by the Order ID, so I thought, hmm lets RP with them and see what happens shall we?
"Attention gunboats in orbit of Toledo, this is Colonel Edison Trent of Flight Wing 197,
You will identify yourself, your computer IFF's appear to be malfunctioning
State your business and rank within the Order immediately, local Freelancer, I ask you to explain yourself also.
Wanna know what the answer was?
".........................." Nothing, nadda, la poof!
The Order, yes kills Nomads, but they DO NOT trudge through the hell hole of Alaska then go into Liberty! Profiting from the Order ID is not good IMHO.
I have never in my time here seen an Order transport filled with Nomads anywhere near Liberty, if you do see one, tell me, I'll shove a supernova into the cockpit personally.
Oh Bs| I got the names if ya want them.:rtfm:
Opinions on this odd thing?

There are several factions that could develop plausible role play for at least investigating Alaska and Minor but you are correct--there is an absurd array of ships publicly parading there. Part of it is Kappa and Delta have some desirable equipment so some do end up that way.
The key is the Order and the Liberty Navy have to treat their two systems for what they are--the front line of a terse cold war between them.
Imagine If I drove my Ford truck into Georgia now and sailed past a few Russian gun emplacement saying, "It's ok--I'm neutral--just looking around for good stuff to get."
My observation is the dynamic between the Liberty Navy, Bounty Hunters and Order really isn't played much and remains undeveloped.
Its up to those three groups (imo) to develop the background fopr the rest of the server there.
As is its simply, "You shouldn't be here!" or ignored. It needs to paint a picture for everyone. We are at war here--it could break out at any moment. I think the Order would be amenable to neutral shipping carrying needed goods to Toledo--they would need it.

Actually Tinkerbell what would happen is you drive it into Georgia and say you are looking around for good stuff to get... And they take your current stuff and send you back...
Thus since you have no stuff you will pick up the nearest piece of garbage you find since something is better then nothing!

*sigh*, well what can you do. Some people just never learn. Having an Order ID, whatever tag they had and those ships is oorp anyways, especially the Liberty one. Personally I would have simply rp'd something like the liberty gunboat and the others killed order pilots, took their id's and where killing nomads to bring back to their homes. Then I would have killed them cause that's a threat to humanity.:)Simple, they don't want to play fair, well then give'em that.
I would say it's sanctionable and I don't think it's acceptable.
