Community Tutorial: Why would you want to fly a ---------- ID?

[Euca]

Blood Dragon ID

Code:

To say that you are a Blood Dragon is to bind you to the laws of the old ways that Kusari once operated by. You have a distinct hate towards Samura, the very corporation that over threw your beloved dynasty. You're a ronin among ronin, your allies are limited and your options scarce. You have to be efficient in mind and body to be a Blood Dragon.

The RP concept behind Blood Dragons (hereby known as Dragons) is that you are a descendant from the Hideyoshi Guard, you are the blood of his personal guard and his family. You're usually seen as an outcast by most factions, beside your loyal companions the GC. You also have to tolerate the actual Outcasts in Kusari while they are fending off the Corsairs and their allies. Another thing, Dragons hate the Hogosha and anyone that is allied with them. They are considered the plague of Kusari. Never forget that.

Dragons are also unique in being one of the Order's allies from the Nomad War. Although relations have been strained with the decreased activity in Tohoku, the Order and Dragons always have pleasurable encounters. Dragons have also been known to talk with their Rheinland counterparts, the Bundschuh. Secretly, the Dragons are allied with the GMG, whom provide them with necessary supplies.

PvP wise, you can attack anyone within your ZoI, which is fairly unique by covering Kusari, systems bordering Kusari and Lyonnais. You can ask any transport for cargo or credits, regardless of identification. And if they don't do as you say? You can kill them! Simple! You have access to Dragon technology and the 9(in)famous Katana, alongside GC, GMG and Lawful tech. You can use Order technology, but at a painful 75%.

The ID is quite a high standard with a challenging RP style and a hardcore PvP side. Enjoy every moment of being a Blood Dragon as every moment is worth it!

Gallic Junker ID

Code:

Where there is scrap, there is Junkers and trust me, Gallia is -full- of scrap. The Gallic Junkers are the Gallic counterpart of the Junkers that operate differently and separately from the Junkers we see floating in Sirius. They've taken a step back from unlawful actions in the past and took on intelligence as a way to gather reputation and cash from the Gallic Government. However, at Reunion (where Gallia and Sirius met), the Gallic Junkers were revealed and nearly instantly hated by everyone that didn't oppose the Gallic Crown. Since then, Gallic Junkers have been stepping up their smuggling activity, for reasons that are left for you to decide. On the other end of the Gallic Junker spectrum, however, many Gallic Junkers have taken up privateering for the Crown as a profession.

RP wise, this ID offers a spectrum of opportunity. You can chat up the Corsairs or Outcasts for some illegal goods to smuggle, so long as you plainly state your intentions (which are left for you to decide: To covertly take down the Gallic Crown for the profit? To get rich? To assist potential allies in anyway possible?). Or you can take an extreme and offer your ship for the Crown and privateer in Bretonia for the Gallic Crown in fancy Gallic Lawful Tech. Naturally, you never really loose your Junker roots either so you can always take on scrapping as a profession too.

PvP wise, you can attack any ship within your ZoI, except Gallics and Transports (GJ ZoI: Gallia, Gallic Borderworlds, Bretonia and the Taus), but you can make demands from Transports and attack them if they don't want to obey your every word. However, you can't ally with anyone except Gallic Lawfuls, so if you're interested in keeping a Quasi-Lawful stance, stay out of the Navy's business.

While being somewhat choked in the PvP side, the Gallic Junker ID offers a 'create your own' style of RP. Just so long as you're not allied with Outcasts against the Navy, that is.

Bundschuh ID

Code:

From first sight, this ID seems to be contradictory. You're against the Government, but you can assist them? You hate foreign intervention, but you can ally with the Liberty Navy? It all seems quite confusing at first, but all you need is a strong understanding of who the Bundschuh are.

The Bundschuh are revolutionaries, but not your typical kind. They're an exiled political party that was the opposing force of the current Rheinland Government, the Bundesrepublik. This leaves the faction open to a wide spectrum of ideas. With "politicians that camp the trade lanes to hand out propaganda to passerbys" being one end and "extreme para-military activists that will end any who support the Bundesrepublik". It's totally crazy.

What is usually forgotten with the Bunschuh, is that they're for the greater good of Rheinland, not for the opposition of the Military and its assets. Example, if you find yourself facing a Corsair invasion, you are allowed to ally with the Military and Police to fend off the invaders. In this case, the greater good is repelling the Corsair infection. Or, you may find yourself in New Hampshire and end up assisting the Liberty Navy against the Rheinland Military, in this case, the greater good is weakening the Military for the Bundschuh. In every PvP situation, you have to think about the greater good of Rheinland.

Going deeper into the PvP, if there is an unlawful faction in Rheinland or the Omegas, the Bundschuh will most likely have access to their technology (except Unioners and Corsairs). LWB, Red Hessians and Coalition all have a connection of which the Bundschuh benefit the most from. While each generation of Bundschuh factions have mixed feelings about using this range of technology, it's totally up to you for your choice of ships, weapons and other assorted goodies. Your main targets are Corsairs, Unioners and the Military, while you can also attack any corporation in your ZoI. But if that corporate employee is riding the seat of a transport, you have to make a demand before you can offer the chance of death. Ask for their cargo, credits or loyalty and kill them if they don't comply.

The Bundschuh offers a spectrum of opportunities from peaceful politician to radical rebel. The RP and PvP standards are quite high and the tech usage is abundant. ~Wulverine
