Starfleet: Sirius Sector

[Claude Du Vall]

A flak jacket would be a good idea.

Worry not, fun can be found in things native to freelancer. Just don't let the seemingly unfriendly environment drive you away. This community isn't as bad as it may look. Although, to continue on the starfleet path would be a bit stubborn.


At lest we can't ostracise you for faulty grammar and spelling mistakes. Something I've experienced...

And there are a lot of things fun native to FL. I've found a few already. Pirate encounters are fun to try and RP out of, though usually with little success. That's the main two reasons I came here. RP and fun. A little break from the daily grind. This trolling of someone's thread over an idea you don't like, not fun. I think I'll just play some football with my son. Thank you for your support though, Sokol, and that goes for those that offered actual suggestions as well.

... This trolling of someone's thread over an idea you don't like, not fun. ...

There's no trolling here, just the standard reaction to faction concepts which clearly have been derived from non-Freelancer works. (The obvious Trek homage in your display name and avatar doesn't help your cause - not something you need to change, but as far as first impressions go, it does make it look like "this guy just wants to play as Starfleet in Freelancer".)


"On a mission to explore the Sirius Sector, to get away from the bitter infighting of the Houses."

These are somewhat exclusive objectives, as the Houses are spread throughout most of the Sirius sector. Getting away would imply leaving the Houses, but to explore all of Sirius, that does mean you'd need to spend time within the Houses.

"The Prime Directive:
No Starfleet member should interfere with the policies/politics of other races. It is unlawful to give technology to those that have not discovered such technology already."

There are no other races in Sirius... only humans. There is relative technological parity across the sector, except for certain specialist technologies, which can be the loci of micro-scale arms races.

"Secondary Directives:"

Any way you could inject a more Freelancer feel to it? Still only seeing a blatant copy at this stage.

"Rank Structure:"

What does a group of Freelancers need such a rigid and hierarchical rank structure for?

There was a sig here, once.

Alright. I've completely dumped the idea of an import. You guys are rather convincing, and to use one last ST-meme, it would seem that "resistance is futile." Anyways, I think we got off on the wrong foot here. I appreciate everyone's ideas and help. As divine put it, it's back to the drawing board. And Echo 7-7, I think I'm going to disregard your advice and change the name and picture of my character anyway (If that's even possible.) I think it would be easier to start from scratch. I look forward to more interaction from everyone who has posted here, especially on server.

You can request one of the admins to change your forum name, the avatar can of course be changed on your own. If you want to move away from the whole Starfleet idea then that's ok. At least there are plenty of things to go around doing anyway, and if you like pirate encounters then a trading faction might be something to look into joining (preferable to making one, but you could do one if you so wished).

OMG mistake, purge him now!
