I don’t think I’ve laughed like this at zoner players in a long time.
The OCs since vanilla are regarded as the most feared unlawful group in sirius. Not for their status numerically or their “profits” (which cardamine still gives them quite an abundance of since they are the main producers and distributors of the product that is only naturally grown on their home planet), but as indivduals in comparison to others. Taking cardamine once renders you addicted for life. However, cardamine also enables the senses and so far as we’ve seen makes them much more devious/smarter.
This is vanilla lore, now, ignoring the fact that the OCs have drastically superior weapons and craft by lore and ingame. As well as better pilots by lore and ingame. (Legion ftw) Numerically speaking the odds are still stacked against whatever zoner thinks they have a chance. A small freeport settlement in Tau-37 and... what else? Are the closest things to dreaming of harming any outcast asset by lore.
The outcasts have held back the nomads and corsairs for decades with less numerically than either. I would love to see how the outcasts lack the high ground in any zoner conflict.
I think its time to log the old rapier again, see how quickly this conflict turns into a cap only one.
