Make them merge with Farmer Alliance. It's no news Farmer Alliance possibilities are limited because Synth Foods has zero presence player-base wise. Making Exiles merge with them in a revolutionary faction could be promising, as it would give a lot of opportunities :
- Traditionalists willing to bring back the old ways.
- Imperialists willing to restore Samura backed bloodline.
- Isolationists / Xenophobes against any foreigners.
- Former military forced to do things breaking their morale code (pirating, raiding GMG...).
- Military extremists wishing to seize the power for themselves, bringing back the shogunate.
- Anti Gallia terrorists.
That's a lot better than the somewhat narrow role-play Farmer Alliance can offer right now.
It would also allow the group to use Military equipment to some extent (coming from the Exiles), and ultimately allowing them to have more presence in the Sigmas (getting rid of that stupid Farmer Alliance Legate Battleship and replacing it with a Hatchet or something, for example).
We would then have a dichotomy between Blood Dragons (supposedly following an honor code) and that new group, who would do morally condemnable things as a way to achieve their objectives.
Sorry, but I think this is a terrible idea. It also goes back to the one-dimensional view that the FA's only roleplay is to fight Synth. The FA's roleplay is about securing economic independence for Kusari based on a structure that removes the need for foreign products or interference. Any foreign trader coming through Kusari or carrying Kusari goods is a fair target for the FA. There is a lot more that could be done with FA roleplay. Aside from wanting to re-establish the Imperial line, the Exiles and the FA have nothing in common. It doesn't matter though, it seems clear that the devs have no interest in advancing the Kusari story line, which had they actually done it over the past 4 years, probably would have made this discussion moot. For all the talk of people not wanting to create the Blood Dragons 2.0, all these ideas seem to do just that. And I don't know what this idea about the Blood Dragons having honor and the FA not, every faction and most characters think they are doing the honorable thing. That talk is just nonsense. If the devs want to work on anything Kusari related, it should be throwing the civil war into full blown house wide war, and putting some profitable trade routes in that will drive trade activity to Kusari.
