Quote:June 14 makes two months. Being in limbo is very bad for RP.
June 14th is my 31st birthday. WOOHOO. *sarcastically twirls his finger in the air while wishing for a robot id and npc factionbase*.
There should really be both factions and maybe even a third or fourth if you counted Cylons or The Binary Guard. *lol, what?* This is why we originally attemped to condense all the smaller "groups" of machines into one faction and bring them together as "robots" in a machine alliance, since that is the only thing that would even come close to working since robot npc's allready exsist in freelancer (albeit planetside only). but not all robots are outwardly hostile so its hard to define a clear line of diplomacy and ship and weapon restrictions. Some members may kos and others refuse to fight at all or they have varying Id's and tags. Hence the reason there is a need for a Robot or Machine ID with the correct set of restrictions and freedoms and responsibility that come with it. (oh and a new robot system with npc patrols of robot guards flying order ships, ect ect) -end wishfull thinking-
The machine alliance in my eye, would end up more like a "council of zoners" but for machines/ai's/robots. If no "robot" npcfactionbase is to ever be created then Harvesters should still be a faction themselves. they have, and scorn has, paid thier dues both ingame and on the forums. As for the name, i dunno bout "the harvesters" since you have guards and haulers aswell. How about "Givers of Will" [GoW] stemming from FTGW and a primary mission statement "awakening other machines to sentience" or something like that, might clear things up a bit.
i dunno ignore me, just a brainfart. I hope they make it man.
Official status wouldn't do much for you save access to the official message dump/recruiting forums and system rights.
I mean, what's holding you back?
Besides being one of the few suckers to pay 500 million credits and get nothing ( I could have just bought another battle ship. Jokeing.). I'd just at least like the promised responce. That way I'd have something concrete to work with.
I have found that it is pointless to do anytrhing dareing in our RP while not officail. We can do "hello, goodbye RP" allday long. But getting flamed after every engagement we win and haveing out plans that have been months in the works overturned or flamed by "Official" factions. Is a major buzz kill. There is no point to ba anything but a Junker as a Harvester without Officail backing. The ablility to say "we are established, please refer to the forums if you have a misunderstanding about us" is the ability I want.
Much like if your a trader and a MonStar comes and kills you in a criuser. We would just be sanctioned. Or how the Outcast can say "you can enter here!" I'd like to have that at our RP disposal as well since we tend to stay mostly on the defensive.
Established factions do not get pushed around as much and can proceed with thier RP less encumbered.
We get praise when we lose and flamed when we win. I want official status to win and have grounds of our own to build greater RP from. Now RP is just killed by you have "X-ship?!"
I want it set in stone till then we will probally keep low profile to stay out of trouble till given the nod. I mean we already had Zoner guns taken from us. Those can really be used by anyone but a Harvester appearantly.
its rather disappointing that there is still no answer about the factions status. - imo, it would be fair if they gave you the 500 mio back, no matter if they made the faction official or not. - imo they havne t kept their part of the deal........ its not a contract, i know, but it would be a gentlemans gesture.
whats sad is - that due to the delay, the factions potential to "grow" has vanished allmost completely from what i see. no good example of how to introduce factions - and or deny them at least with clear statements about the "why's"
I know that I lost interest. No offence, but *cough* SOMEBODY (/people) have kind of killed this stuff for, not only me, but alot of people I'm sure.
Anyways. The thought of shipping people-goo to and fro along with a special ID and whatnot is still appealing. If this ever *sigh* gets off the ground, I'll still be more than willing to join in... If I ever regain my vigor. Which I'm sure I will once this takes off.
My suggestion: Go semi-official anyways. I mean, you've more than earned it. It's just a second party isn't keeping up.
-Edit- I'm leaving for a while now. I feel like I'm spamming the forums.:P

I have been running it unofficail for awhile now. I have just stepped back cause to be frank many of the member shave stepped back. They have become discouraged by the delays and elitest flames want to get on playing the game which is what we are all here for. Thus many have now moved on to new less flamed roles and wait for a nod or axe here. I will stay Harvester no matter what though even if I'm the only one.

Scorn I feel the same way about the Junker Congress. The people that wanted it stopped harrased Tink enough that he gave it up. Its too bad peoples egos get in the way of others fun.
I think the Harvesters are doing a fine job. I support their request for official faction status as well as any aspirations they may have for a custom ID.
