Discovery 4.86 Storyline: Tau Conquest

[Red_Bull]

I'm rather curious to see how the Royal Navy will treat freelancers/mercenaries/smugglers/any other unaffiliated groups.

Gallic foreign policy is very simple. Swear fealty and help the war effort, or die.

Abandon ship?

[Lance_Uppercut]

Ahh but but what about the Champagne system??
And and and omg the CR?
And and wow this is exciting.

Can't wait to hear more!!
Great work Igiss & team.

Screws to all of you nay-sayers. Expecially you, Bob. I expected better (for some reason).

Abandon ship?

To the contrary I think we should abandon ship. If Rheinland and Liberty aren't really fighting anymore, that means the Hale-Malte foe yay is no longer strong enough to make it believable. Shame, since their spawn would've been pretty chill dudes.

Abandon ship?

Waiting for Gallia to metaconquer Liberty first.

Retired, permanently.

I would like to thank both Dab and Igiss for quickly answering my concerns as a faction leader, and for both making it clear that options are always available.

Why not Kusari?

Blame Zealot

It's not harsh considering that the words "Gallic" and "Balance" were overlooked.

Indeed. I could see LIMITED gallic forces (IE: ships used for events) being over powerd, but as it stands in a regular RP/PvP encounter the gallic players will have a pretty good advantage over any sirians they have a fight with.

And since the way fights on the server tend to go usualy have more or less equaly balanced forces (not always, but over time it usualy balances out) this would lead to a massive advantage for gallia.

Ok, so they has better pewsticks (despite having to deploy junkers to steal so much tech in the first place) in RP....

Yet, despite that, we have a problem.

We allready know that better pewsticks attract lolwuts like flies to honey.

Thats why the LR Dessie and the spyglass became SRP only.

Yes, the intention of it is (painfully) obvious as a plot to attract peopel to populate gallia.

However, as anyone who regularly checks the system list notices, that hasnt worked as of yet.

Admitedly, now, with gallia semi opening up that will change somewhat.

We're going to have lolwut swarms get gallic ships. Theyre going to go wherever tehy can (and places tehy ought not, too) and use those unbalanced guns and pew everything they can (or see, depending on how bad a lolwut they are).

As for the 'change of pace' for bretonia..... ok, so first they were sitting around leeds PvPing Kusari invaders.

Now they're sitting around leeds PvPing Gallic invaders. Not too much change there really.

I predict that the GRN gunboat will become the new loldente before too long, with swarms of the same people that got loldente named as such getting GRN GBs, or fighters, or bombers, and attacking everything in sight for the purpose of PvP, not RP.

That will lead to people saying 'Frak this' and simply avoiding RPing at all in the whole warzone area.

And admins... you thought it was a pain in the tau's before.... teh whole IMG/CR-OC drama that always happend...... now it's gona be spread around even more.

I see the non-existent-Kusari wins again trend fails to reverse itself in the new version again.

Blame Zealot (intended as humor, not a flame)



As for teh whole steamroller issue... it seems very odd that noone thought to just... you know... BLOW UP THE FRAKING JUMPGATES.

Can we replace Gallia with a catgirl army?

srs.

You wins teh thread bob.

Rheinland doesn't get wtfpwned. I told you this via skype.

I recall Igiss saying something to the effect of "the more screwed Bretonia gets, the more epic their return will be".

So yeah.

Well the way things are going, their epic return will need 4.0 refire SNAC's for their LIGHT FIGHTERS with 1k speed/range, and a core big enuf to fire 4 of them continualy for 10 secs.

There's so little to win at this point.

If it isn't Kusari running amok, now we have Gallic bombers to contend with.

I want a Dev explanation as to why I was not told about this.

I also want an explanation as to what will be done to compensate an entire, long standing, faction for the loss of their ONLY base.

I want amendments made to the Privateer ID, and I expect to be informed on what those changes are.

I'm guesing y'all become the bretonian resistance. Or are forced to return to bretonia propper, but are allowed a tad further afield to harrass the frenchies.

Or yall get zero bases, and are a baseless faction operating with bretonia, and generaly renderd as suddenly irrelvent as if the bretonia/kusari war ended.

I came in here and I was all like 'omg gallia actually has a point now!"

PvP faction ?

I feel that it will be fine, as long as players behave with respect and do not cheapen everything by poor standards in pvp and roleplay.

We're fraked

More like Rheinland-Liberty-Kusari-New Bretonia-Vagrant Raiders-CoC-MM-SCRA coalition.

Dont forget Zoners. Doesnt matter what Igiss wants, RP wise a large number of Zoners are hostile to the Gallics. Hell, DeFrance's Aquillion attempted to assisinate my Zoner chars BC (btw Dab, did you RP it as being destroyed, or just left as a burning hulk which wasnt as dead as assumed ? )

Abandon ship?

Only if you LOVE PvP and not RP. In that mod, the last time I was active, I attempted to mine to set up a char.

It took about 5 attempts thru multiple routes to get to a dock NEAR the mining zone, as my low level trader char kept getting randomly blown up by various ships ranging from fighters to caps.

Now, they coulda changed it since I was last active tehre, but they have about a dozen systems or so total, admitedly come the next version (I breifly assisted one of the devs for the econemy related stuff abotu a year back) its going to LOOK awsome, but the fact is it'll be way too damned small to really have much RP, nor is it intended to foster an additude of RP to much extend, beyond DAI REBEL SCUM.


Actualy, yeah, lets advertise it so the PvPwhores go there.



Also, I've heard that the IMG capship line becomes the =CR= capshipline come .86

Is this true ?

How will this affect those who have IMG| Premession for a IMG cap ? Will the premession for that char get rolled over, or will they have to re-apply/SRP/and-or scrap the char ?

This thread is a perfect example of why Discovery will never really be a true Role-Playing server. Some people do not have the ability to accept losses in the form of reduced system/base-ownership. Rather than seeing it as an evolution they simply put their hands up and whine about it.

And then you blame people like me for ruining the server with our constant PvP-whoring. Yes I'm sure it's our fault when you yourselves, the-super-fantastic-all-powerful-24/7-Role-Players hardly can even play along with the story-line. Rofl.

Agreed. My main problem with this is its going to encourage PvPwhores that just play to grief.

Execpt this time they'll be spaming GRN GBs instead of OC GBs
