' Wrote:Kusari did not have nearly enough time to leave the Tau-31 system. Very quickly, Gallic capital ships spread out through the Tau-31 system, blocking the paths from Newcastle and Leeds, and then starting to raid both of those systems with small fighter and bomber wings. Kusari ships that did not have time to escape had no other choice but to unite with the Bretonia Armed Forces and set up allied defensive positions within the asteroid fields.
Hmmm so can I have KNF (IFF, ID) still operating in T31, Dundee, Newcastle and Leeds against galic forces?
People have been wanting for a DM to steer the story. Well, the story has been steered. As a whole I doubt that this changes the game that much. It's just new targets that are red. As long as you have a faction and it can buy ships / guns, everything is ok. it's not like anyone is killing off a faction. They are just being relocated.
I for one kinda like this. And I also foresee a bit of a rush to GRN. If the ships/wep stats stay the same;)
Alltought I don't really like the gallia idea, but it gives me some crazy ideas. Maybe way too crazy. This might get very intresting.
;)
I wasnt so much excited about fl for some time now. If there would be any chance do start doing it, this is the correct time to attempt making this real. Yes... so generaly, yes I think positivly about this new change.
To all those people that say: This makes no sense.
Let me just point you towards things that do 'make sense' according to Discovery:
Outcasts and Corsairs have fleets of ships larger, stronger than entire House governments. 17 years after just having fighters and not one capital ship visible.
Zoners have risen up as an economic powerhouse and now have a planet or two to hold onto, something the Outcasts and Corsairs (in their might) have never been able to do.
Those are just two small points.
Is it needed to point out some of the silly alliances, silly expansions and generally silly actions of the past 17 years?
All done by the players somehow.
The faction leaders affected were actively involved in this storyline, there's a thread about it on these forums even. If you weren't involved, it was probably you're own fault.
Storyline wise, I'm looking forward to it. Disco is disturbingly static at the best of times, this will be a nice big change.
Personally I welcome the changes. People are seeing it as a personal afront, so what?
Mollies have to fall back and throw everything they have at galia, we can start to raid gallian supply vessels and well a whole heap of stuff. So our rp changes direction a little. Again its a change to our factions rp I welcome.
For the ICMG well we need to figure what we wanna do? Throw ourselves behind gallia? Start to supply bretonia? Start to help kusari build a war fleet? Call it a lost cause and give everything we have to rhineland in a bid to plan our last stand?:D
So, u have been given a situation now you need to deal with it. Figure out how you want to do that.
I mean factions who have been fighting for a govermental change like the GC now have one. The ball is their court, do the new kashiro goverment declare womans rights? Don't they? Do the dragons arm up to fight them? Does liberty get worried about a war on two fronts? Do they start to send whatever support they can to the brets knowing if they lose they will fighting both gallia AND rhineland?
Perhaps the outcasts need to throw open support to bretonia and move in caps to aid them? Maybe the sairs see an opportunity here to conquer a food producing planet in bretonia and ally with gallia?
More now than ever, you have been presented with a situation and -YOU- need to decide "what are we going to do and how will we react to this".
....
O.. And zelot, if u want to make a bret make a molly so I can blame you when I die?
EDIT: who knows? With us getting all buddy buddy with th brets my molly might acheive his greatest aspiration, no nail one of the wueens daughters. Hmmm... I mus deliberate with sprofl.
I truelly enjoyed reading that story, because it was well written:)
NOOOooooooooo, Luxury Liner Shetland *cryes* You guys are evil, I'll punish you for that (heheheh:P)
Now that Gallia is concuring all, I think it might become time that someone or something steps in between and brings the galaxy to a final epic peace OR an epic nothingnes. Imagine this 4.87: The Awakening. As war spreads all around Sirius and Nomads from other regions of the Milkyway join up with their brethren in Sirius and launch a counterattack with such grandeur as has never ever seen before in Human history, Sirius seems to be going to a total war situation, without a winner on any side. Then out of nowhere the scientists in Valhalla One suddenly see a spike of energie on all their scanners, as the ruins come to life. Everwhere the walls start to give light as text seems to appear on all the walls. Dust falls from the walls as they start to shift and rooms that weren't there before, suddenly appeared. It's as if energy is flowing to one central room. The scientists follow the flow of the energie until they come in the most central room, that wasn't there before. The flow of energy all flows to a perfect ball in the center of the room, but before the scientists can do any experiments or tests there is a flash of light, that shoots up trew the roof, up into the sky, into space. From all over the New York system the gaintic beam of light comming from Manhatton can be seen as it flyes towards the sun. As it hits the sun there is a huge flash of light, blinding everyone in Manhatton. For a moment everyone is there where they love to be the most, in the most deepest part of their mind, the place they love so much, the place where they feel most secure. A figure made fully of light, with what seems to be angel like wings, but of pure energie floads towards them and lays its hands of light onto their head as a voice talks in their head: "We are the Daam K'Vosh, and we've returned to make up for the sins we left behind" As it said that there is another flash of light and it's as if nothing ever happened in the New York system, but there did, because everyone had the same identical memory. Soon similar messages started comming from Crete, Pygar and Sprague and other unconfirmed messages started comming in that any ship attacking another ship was destroyed by rays of pure light. Something had awakened inside those Alien ruins, and it came back to make-up for it's mistakes, but why?!
