The Mollys + Post #109.

[Jack_Henderson]

I like the write-up. I haven't seen anything that made me turn "Nah, better don't".

I only selected "I have Molly ships but will not join" because all my Mollys are already with =MMC=.

SuggestioN: MMC and your new Mollys:

Perhaps it would make things easier if you banded together. Thus it might be easier to start (MMC already has a lot of infrastructure, some players, shared ships for beginners, etc) and it will also be easier to maintain activity, attract new players, etc.

As the IMG| in Dublin I would be really happy so see Mollys much more active since they contribute massively to the flavour of Dublin, my favourite system in Freelancer. =)

If you want to interact with IMG... give me a call. I will do what I can to help your faction to make a good start =)

Good luck!

I give in, you've bent my arm enough everyone :laugh:

We'll drop all BWS.

I bow before you, good sir. You have made the right choice.

That being said, I wish you all the best. Good luck and see you out there

I only selected "I have Molly ships but will not join" because all my Mollys are already with =MMC=.
SuggestioN: MMC and your new Mollys:

Bump the MMC leader to speak with Avalanche on that one.
I guess there will be no problem if MMC people want to join etc, shared ships, ships and stuff are easy to build, active people with experience with Molly RP is harder,so MMC members will be welcome.

I bow before you, good sir. You have made the right choice.

This is the logical decision for now. Some very limited usage of the BWS line combined with RP and some kind of in-faction SRP will be discussed in the future.I personally will await till some with ship-model renders post here the size comprehension between the Hyena,Eagle, and Scimitar for example. I feel that the hyena ship is the same mistake as the rheinland phantom ship, if this is the case may be BWS LF will be free to use for the members who love to fly LFs but this could be discussed after some input about the Hyena comes in this direction.
if someone have flown this ship and have experience into it, as well some in-game tests, please share it with us.
As I already said we should not rush to do all very fast in order to make it constructive good in long term.
Till now I could say that I personally am more then happy for the good feedback and the nice discussion that started here. I as well Avalanche didn't expected that the ball will roll so fast. Till now we have 12 people in our chat-room :yahoo:. Dara as well the others questions will be answered Soon™.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

Dere be a cupla tings dat oi shoulda bin sayin' 'bout dis. Furst off, be roight arsey te any non Molly dat ain't bin invoited inte yer territry. Bretonia be OUR turf, an' any feckless wunder tinkin' dey kin take a cut o' our action wi'out our sayso should feel the painful end o' our guns. Rogues be ok. Dey're our alloies after all. An' 'essians be our brudders, te be shure. Any udders kin tek a walk.

Den dere's dem fellers fre the SCRA. We Mollies dun allus 'ad a fair bit o' 'elp fre the SCRA in kicking seven bales outta the BAF, 'unters an' 'sairs iun Dublin. BUT on the udder 'and, dey ain't keen on us shootin' the shoite outta cviilians haulin' OUR bleedin' ore an' gold outta Dublin wi'out our sayso. Not te mention whut we does te dose trader we runs inte in udder parts o' Bret. Whut dey don' see caint 'urt 'em dough, an' dats the truth.

As far as usin' only Molly tech, if dat's the loine ye want te follow, ye'll git no arguments fre me. But don' fergit dat the Separatists dun forged an agreement wi' them Unioners o'er in Rheinland dat allows us the use o' foive Arbeiters. Oi 'as wun o' dem mesel', dough oi aint shure 'ow many udders be floiyin'. Don' be afreared te be usin' ships o' udder factions ye moight wanna do dealin's wi'. Jus' make shure ye does it wi' plenty o' RP. The odd Arbeiter, or Falcata, or Switchblade, or Loki, or Thor, or Odin in yer fleet's gunna add a wee bit o' spoice te the mix. So long as yer main body o' ships be Molly, den any naysayers kin jus' go dunk deyre 'eads, eh! Oi flois a Roc mesel' dese days cus oi loikes the 'andlin' better dan whut ye git wi' a Barghie. Don' git me wrong, the Barghie's a foine ship an' all, ye jus' wants te be usin' the roight tool fer the job.

Do a wee bit more wurk on 'ow youse lads has cum te the fore an' all. Whut were youse doin' whoile the Molly Repubic were leadin'? Whut were ye doin' when the Molly Separatists was runnin' tings? Why has yer group decoided dat ye needs te take up the reigns o' power? Details loike dis 'elps folks know whut ye're about.

An' talk te Linkus, an' 'Mike' an' Bucket. Dese lads ha' bin involved wi' the Mollies fer a long whoile. Dey knows the lore insoide an' out.

There's a couple of things for me to say. First, be nasty to any non Molly you find pirating in Bretonia without direct permission from your faction. Bretonia is your territory, and if anyone wants a slice of your pie, make sure they pay you handsomely for the priviledge. Rogues and Hessians should be the only ones exempt from this. Mollies are terrorists. Act like it, as much as the ID allows.

Then there's the problem posed by the SCRA. Mollies have always been friendly with the SCRA as they have often helped us against the BAF, assorted hunters, Corsairs and the like. But they don't like civilians being shot at, and that's something the Mollies have been doing since time imemorial. Keeping "in" with the SCRA is a balancing act.

As far as what tech you use goes, if you only ever use Molly tech, that's ok. But making RP deals is a good thing, as long as they're limited. Don't have fleets of Sabres, or Falcata's for example, but a few unusual ships can only ever add a bit of spice to the mix. I fly an Arbeiter (fully RPd with the Unioners). I also fly a Roc as I find it's better for my style of play than the Barghest is. Basically I'm better able to run away in it.

Finally your background lore needs lots of work putting into it. Where has your group come from? Where were you when the Molly Republic was leading? Where were you when the Molly Separatists were leading? Why have you decided now is the right time for your group to seize the reigns of power?

I'd advise you talk to 'Mike' and Linkus and Bucket about Molly lore, if you haven't done so already. The more input you get from long standing (I'm talking years here) Mollies, the better you'll be able to make your faction.

Ah, come on! Post in readable English in an oorp thread! It's almost completely impossible to read for non-natives.

I will tell the MMC leader to contact you. I guess this might already have happened, but I can't mean harm to ask.

Combine the concepts.

Different Molly Groups were an absolute fail. And when people realised and wanted to centralise again (MR) it was too late.

Whatever you plan, Snak3, make it a part of this effort, if you want Mollys to get back and stay (!) in the game.

Also - not a fan of including Omega 47 in the areas you are going to range in, that's Deep Corsair and Hessian turf right there and I would imagine Mollies have enough of an issue to worry about in their home space. I personally would not like to see mollies regularly in that system.

It does make sense, really. The Mollys are embroiled in a bitter turf-war with the Corsairs in Dublin and the near the Omegas. Omega 47 is within range of Londonderry - an entire system belonging to the Mollys, and Dublin - where Arranmore is near enough on top of the O49 hole.

Mollys working in Omega 47 would be exactly the same as Mollys working in Tau 31, if you're going by distance from a base and local hostile forces (O49 - moderate Corsair presence. Edinburgh - extreme Gaian presence). There's a precedent for working in '31 too, seeing as the Mollys were at least partially responsible for setting the mines around Harris.

I wouldn't be adverse to skirmishes into Omega 5, personally. It's far easier for Mollys from Lisburn to get into Omega 5, than it is for Corsairs from Cadiz to get into heartland Bretonia.
