Are you implying we can get a new NPC faction that is not Outcast and have some Outcast stations use that IFF instead? I mean that would be really cool indeed, but the way I see it most likely all OC bases will remain OC bases under the one and only OC NPC faction and thus what you inRP write on the forums will hold no value over the game world we play in.
EDIT: Because at the end of the day no matter how much 101st tries to pretend they've captured say Miguel Outpost - they will still be red to it and NC will be green.
Vasko, with enough roleplay backing it up, you can make an official player faction that can try to conquer Malta. It's a roleplay server. If you do it the right way, you can achieve things like Outcasts being welcome in Bretonia, Leeds being conquered by Garlics. If I remember correctly, that wasn't the case in Vanilla. However, even with enough roleplay done about it, it's still a thing that needs some type of judgement, regulation and communication. Like, you know there are official events?
Like, of course 101st must gather enough power to pull of something like that. They can't just pull marines out of their butts - contrary to the Core, who clones them - but with diplomacy, conspiracy and all that, sure, they could compete with NC.
-Outcasts and Bretonia might've been dev lore decision, not entirely sure though. You could be right on that one that it was player driven.
-Leeds being lost to Gallics was entirely dev driven and players had no say. In fact players never wanted Gallia to begin with. So not a good example.
Also right now inRP I believe my character was given rights to govern Manoel Outpost. But Manoel Outpost is OC IFF. My character say supports the 101st cause and wants to house them. How do I do that? There is no other IFF Manoel can be bound to that is Outcast. Unless we decide to use the Outcast Guard IFF as 101st IFF. But then suddenly Manoel will be red to so many people it shouldn't be red to just because they never took an OC bribe.
If we are just going to roleplay things without even having the ingame world into account we might as well not bother putting the gameplay server up again and stick to the forums and skype.
