Faction Reputations - Igiss - 01-17-2006
This is an official thread where reputation connections between NPC and player factions on our server will be discussed.
I remind that the generally supported idea about factions is not to remove custom factions present on our server, but rather tie reputation of their members to existing NPC factions, obliging members to act in the way their faction alignment requires. So, a lawful faction member cannot be friendly with pirates, and pirate cannot be friendly with lawfuls.
Therefore, we need to agree on what NPC factions have similar reputation and alignment to custom factions. A faction might exist without alignment at all, but then it won't be able to have a home system or control any systems.
Note that these are not final decisions; faction leaders have the last word, and if their opinion is different from mine and makes sense, I'll accept it.
Rheinland Military [RM] <-> Rheinland Military
That's obvious.
[SF] <-> Bretonia Armed Forces
Or maybe police, as they are bound on keeping peace, but Armed Forces suit better in my opinion. Police is only for internal affairs.
Asgard Warriors [AW] <-> Zoners
I suppose that zoners are better alignment for AW then Outcasts. Mainly because they are present in corsair systems. Therefore AW will have to choose a home system with an important Zoner base, for example, it might be Omicron Theta. Note that zoners are not a peaceful faction, far from that; they produce (and actively use) the most powerful fighter of original Freelancer - Eagle.
Transylania Gladiators [TG] <-> IMG
There's no choice: having home system in Tau-23 will ultimately require TG to accept IMG reputation. They are friendly with lawful factions: SF and RM, and even allies to AW which will be represented perfectly in-game if Dab agrees to zoner alignment. As corporations (BMM) are not joinable, the only other choice for TG is Outcasts, which makes it a completely different faction than it is now. No other factions are represented in Tau-23. Zoners are possible too, if AW will not agree, but then I'll have to take Tau-37 out of AW zone.
Northeren Star Pirates [NSP] <-> Unioners
They declared Pacifica station, home of Unioners, their home. What more to say?
Actually, if NSP wish to plague Rheinland and be hostile with RM and AW (huh, that's deadly) and actively participate in wars, not only piracy, they might align with Red Hessians - 3rd most powerful unlawful faction in Sirius. There are no Hessian bases in Independent Worlds you say, neither in Bering or Hudson? Then, why not make one?

I could have swore that, that what was it Cali?, in Bering was Hessian, or was it Union, im not sure but if Need a base in the Independant worlds I could Make one in either Hudson or Bering.....

All Outcast and Corsair systems are already taken, and you should have a base of 'your' faction in your home system. So you may choose Independent World bases, as most other systems were already taken:
Outcast or Corsair
Bering - Unioners
Hudson - Liberty Rogues, Xenos
Galileo - Liberty Rogues, Lane Hackers
Kepler - Xenos
Cortez - Liberty Rogues
Magellan - Lane Hackers
So there's something to choose from. Liberty Rogues are obviously the strongest faction, but they all (Corsairs and Outcasts too) have similar reputations - generally, you'll be hostile to all lawfuls and friendly to pirates, though it's more difficult with xenos.
