Padua Liberty Rogues | PLR:

[mwerte]

Some concerns I would like to see addressed; (forgive me if these have been answered elsewhere, I don't read everything)

The Padua Liberty Rogues have evolved into the group responsible for the defense of Cassini and the Liberty Rogues' most sensitive technology and information.

Is the current official Rogue faction ok with you staking claim to Cassini like that? They are the ones that designed the system and got it into the mod, it'd be rather impolite to just roll up and go 'hey, this is cool, we're setting up shop'.

They consider themselves the elite Rogue Guards, in the last line in defending Lord Moka's empire and employ various nefarious means to fight bitterly against all that try to test the defenses.

Not a question, but that sentence made my head hurt from the grammatical and flow problems.

As Lord Moka invested most of his treasury into building bigger and better weapons for the Rogues, the PLR have a stockpile of various ships and gear left over from The Nonsense Factory research department which they use to their advantage against their foes.

'olol, we haz fun toys because plot!' ??

Rogues are expected to run when encountering any enemy unless friendly forces are sure to win in a battle. Do NOT lead enemy forces to a Rogue base. You are expected to lose your tail by some other means.

Nice.

Cardamine

No Padua Liberty Rogues are permitted to partake in the use of Cardamine; not even those that were already addicted when they joined, as is the tradition in the Liberty Rogues.

Cardi addictions are for life. Not "heroin is hard to quit" for life, "your genetic code is altered and you die if you quit" for life.

->Rumor #131989:
They say if you want to get in with the Outcasts, get friendly with the Rogues. Then graduate to the Lane Hackers. Run some drugs. Then you're on your way. Hard to turn back at that point, since you'll be a Cardamine addict for life.
* Bounty Hunter/Hunter Spike Ruffins

->Rumor #133435:
The Golden Chrysanthemums are becoming too close to the Outcasts. The allure of Cardamine is seductive, but deadly. If you use too much of it, irreversible physiological changes occur in our body. You are no longer truly human. That is the curse of the Outcasts.
* Blood Dragons/ Naoko Shimizu

->Rumor #132338:
Cardamine was the one good thing that fate gave us. When we first landed on Malta the weak who didn't want to live anymore could go to a better place chewing the orange grass. It was also a curse, as we became dependent on Cardamine to survive, though we don't get a high from it anymore. Now we use Cardamine to make money. Eventually we'll run Sirius. Once a large enough portion of the populace is hooked, we've got them.
* Outcasts/ Howard Desmond

->Rumor #131536:
The Outcasts use our base as one of their R & R bases on the long journey into Liberty from the Edge Worlds. We trade information for Cardamine, which we need on a daily basis. Funny, we didn't use to need it all the time like nowadays. We have to take Cardamine with us any time we leave base, as we start to get sick pretty quick otherwise.
* Lane Hackers/ Allan Von Krunk

->Rumor #525365:
.One of my friends, Carlos Ricardo, spent too long out on patrol and ran out of Cardamine for several hours. He's down in the medical bay recovering, so let his story be a lesson to you. If you're truly addicted to Cardamine, always make sure you have enough, because people like the Outcasts and the Lane Hackers cannot survive very long without it. I heard some scientists say once that it mutates human DNA, so that we're not even truly human anymore, but that's ok. Humanity abandoned the Outcasts long ago.
* Outcasts/Amatista Olivo

"If you are addicted to Cardi, and you quit, you die"

Mission Statement

The modern Padua Liberty Rogues exist for the sole purpose of defending Cassini and what it contains from all outside threats. Any other objectives or purposes existing aside from this one take a backseat to their primary objective which will always remain the same.

The long term goal of the Padua Liberty Rogues is to re-take Cassini, eradicating all foreign influences from those not their allies in the system.

Those seem like some very static goals, what are you doing to accomplish them ingame?

New York is a common place for pesky foreign capital ships to be found. Moka's Rogue Laws state foreign capital ships are not permitted to operate in Liberty without permission, and being followers of Moka and his ways, The Padua Liberty Rogues can be found here ridding Liberty of the problem, protecting their turf and upholding their law.

How are foreign capships in New York the concern of a group that is focused on defending Cassini? Is this not just cheap thrills at the expense of newer players who just got capships they want to try out?

Shikoku:

The Padua Liberty Rogues recently ventured into Shikoku and found it to be a nice change from Liberty, and the Liberty forces.

Again, if the primary goal is to defend and cleanse Cassini, what are you doing in Shikoku?

Overall, I didn't mind the writeup or faction, I'm just concerned about the "oh, we have magic toys because we spent money gotten from Cardamine and piracy, and we don't need the Outcasts anymore" themes in the Rogues the last few years. I'm also very concerned about the lore inaccuracies regarding Cardi. For a faction that claims to be "all about the roleplay" and "not trying to change Rogue lore", that's a lot of changes to Rogue lore.

I look forward to your responses.
