Quote:I am sure you can continue hating Corsairs even without non-RP-clan-system.
They were hating each other ever since vanilla anyway, amirite? Corsairs trying to take their piece of Dublin and Cambridge.
Apparently not. Current Mollys want to clutch on non-cannon lore found within Londonderry infocards.
And I might not know as much about Mollys, but I have open-mind when it comes to roleplay. Going by set-in-stone motion about lore keeps us in place. Discovery should move forward. Clan/Guard systems were a mistake and now they are being corrected to lower the empty areas and condense activity to promote more encounters. That's good step towards encouraging RP on multiplayer server.
Condense activity, that's all what is it about ?
So let's just concentrate the whole shrinking player base in one system... what about conn ? it will be surely be a good step towards encouraging rp.
So let's be serious one moment will we ?
This is not about hating corsairs, Cork is about that aspect.
What Londonderry is about is the Molly being forced to commit forces to fight them in the omegas., other wise, they 'll be blasted a second time.
Now if Derry doesn't exist, the Molly don't have to protect it, nor they'd have to commit forces in the omegas fighting a far more powerfull, numerous and older entity that is the corsair empire.
Would would they do that in the first place ? Dublin is well enough defended, they could just rush toward the Bretonians assets in Dublin.
-> example on how it affect the strategy of the Molly.
Also, would they need allies to fight the corsairs in the omegas... would they ally with the coalition or the hessians ?
If the corsairs are not a real threat they cannot handle, i'm pretty sure the far rheinlanders would be ignored, as they wouldn't probably help the Mollys against the Bretonian crown.
Would they bear allying with a communist dicatatorship, that had preyed upon them before if the corsair threat wouldn't exist ? I doubt so...
And that is what Derry is diplomatically.
-> that's an example of how it affect the molly diplomacy.
Shall i go on, on how placing some of the assets that are in Derry elsewhere could also affect some of the faction aspect drastically ?
Now, it is not like we wern't open to system modications, like it happened in O-74 or other de-guarded systems. In the contrary !
But this is probably the worse thing that could happen to the faction.
