Discussion Faction rephacked hostile: Order

[Moberg]

Can someone give me links to the cause of this? I couldn't find them when I looked through the other pages of this thread. This is more out of curiosity than anything and it's hard to understand what exactly happened with how this threads been derailing into a faction bashing topic.

The whole conflict between TAZ and Order started when the latter stumbled upon the Persephone of the TAZ. The Persephone has a special engine in roleplay, the display of which used an effect taken from the Nomad city or the shield generators of Nomads, you can choose. It is however not nomad technology, from what I read. Still, the Order characters did not know this and obviously recognised the effect as something that is normally seen on Nomad structures, as the Order is very experienced on that subject. For all they know it could be a possible nomad infestation.
An investigation by Order engineers was requested and often delayed by TAZ until it was canceled, from which point on outright hostility began. Relevant Comm Thread
Another comm link that tries to explain the whole deal (in the subjective view of an Order character, keep that in mind)

The problem is not really the conflict itself. It was good an interesting to play, yet what pains me the most is that it was forced on the entirety of the NPC faction which is treated as united, non-generic faction when in reality it is very far from that.
In my opinion we should just give one of the custom IFFs to TAZ, rephack everything properly and be done with it.

And before anyone protest that I was never there, I was.
