' Wrote:Well If Igiss felt that Zoners needed military, he would probably give military jurisdiction on Zoner ID. But this way, some got to be AW. There're lost of examples of vanila factions, acting out of their RP and jurisdiction. Some got their own ID in the end, others have RP stories to cover their "liberties" with their ID. So do we...We're NOT IMG.
EDIT: If people would be forced to role play only within original vanila freelancer boundaries, it would be somewhat dictatorship like, and pretty much boring in the end. Imagination and new ideas should be welcomed if properly introduced. Thats IMHO anyway...
You'll find AW does not act out of their RP or jurisdiction
Anyway, the difference between AW/Phantoms/SCRA (The three with their own ID) and the BSG, is that we built an RP for our factions from scratch, and integrated it with and from Freelancer. Phantoms are 'enlightened' soldiers of the C'tan that live in the outer-reaches of this galaxy (Think unknown regions in Star Wars). They're interested in converting or killing everyone in Sirius.
AW is soldiers (mostly Outcast, Zoner, and a few random people, who were more interested in defending Sirius and/or Theta/FP9) that are led by one alien, Val'ren (and before his father, Luciaden. So Val'ren is sort of a cross-breed). He also came from the outer-reaches of Sirius, and his entire race was killed by the C'tan. Luciaden had been captured by them, escaped, fled, found himself in Sirius. Made his way to Freeport 9 eventually. Creates an organization to fight C'tan if they ever come here, and to defend the Zoners, whom he lived with since his arrival here.
SCRA are the remains of the Coalition in Starlancer/Starting screen. They came here shortly before Sol was destroyed. Now they are after all the houses, to kill them and conquer them.
BSG.. BSG is ripped from a TV show, has nothing to do with FL. The only reason you are still here is because BSG/CR had been a faction before our server required better RP for factions, and because we have the Viper and Battlestar. BSG has absolutely nothing to do with Freelancer. Your here to make an empire for the Colonials.. Theres nothing more to your RP than that. Also, your using an ID that prohibits you from fighting except in self-defense. Heck, if people wanted to, you could have been find, and by now, banned permanently, for violating your ID. Change it. Your not IMG, your BSG. Go generic military.
CR is acting much more IMG now, not being pvp-whorish (which you BSG are..), not allying themselves with Corsairs, and are actually dealing with IMG issues, like the Kusari and Bretonian war.
Also, on the matter of the Corsairs. You allying them is complete bullcrap. Yes, your both enemies of Outcasts, so your NPC affiliations aren't hostile to each other.. They are not ALLIED however. Your still lawfuls, they're still pirates. Your going to be unfriendly, NOT allied. There is no chance that IMG would ever ally the Corsairs. Basically, if they saw each other, they'd simply leave each other alone. Also, Kusari would never be alright with that alliance, they'd basically declare IMG an enemy, or completely neutral and let BMM and BAF kill you.
The alliance has no RP behind it, its simply there for you to pvp whore more easily, as you can get backup, and so you can attack Alpha with Corsair help.
I'm not flaming, I'm just saying what has most people pissed off about BSG for, and how people see you now. When people see BSG, they see a lack of Role Play.
