Quote:I am a little baffled that I have to be the one to point out that what one side perceives as terrorism, the other perceives as just revolution. Have people totally forgotten what SCRA was in its heyday? What it is on paper, according to its own lore? I mean these are not even things you'd have to open a history book to find out or be a little keen on sociology in the slightest, why use lazy categories that you clearly haven't thought through?
I meant it more in terms of gameplay function than ideology. Sure, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. In Disco, the classic "Terrorist ID" was basically somebody that could fly nearly anywhere in Sirius and shoot anyone they wanted (albeit...I think they were limited to GB size max), but was also RED to nearly everybody as well (think of it as a Sirius-wide Xeno). The ID has since been removed due to being abused by pew-whores.
Lore-wise, it simply doesn't make sense that the Coalition would be sending ships out EVERYWHERE to kill all the Sirian "capitalists," because this would easily backlash on them and get the invaded & killed. Unlike Starlancer, the Coalition is the underdog in this galaxy. They don't have the manpower or resources yet to take on multiple Houses AND pirates.
