101st Faction Feedback

[Dab]

101st are the POLICE/DEFENDERS of Alpha. Not the supreme leaders.. This I agree with Lohingren. RM POLICE and DEFEND Rheinland.. They don't control every little aspect. For example, they don't say that only Rheinland companies can carry diamonds through Rheinland. The Outcasts aren't a military-controlled dictatorship. They have many many Dons that control different aspects of the government. Much of the Outcast nation is independently ran, not fully controlled. So 101st being the guardians of Omicron-85 does NOT mean they have sovereignty of Alpha. It means the responsibility of defense and upholding the peace is theirs. In that, they are the main leaders of any defensive operations and have a hold on any major Outcast capital ship authorizations, meaning capship purchases should be going through them.

In reference to that, 101st upholding BLS' attempt to monopolize the cardamine trade should NOT be happening. The BLS are responsible for their attempts at controlling the cardamine trade. 101st is allowed to favor the BLS, but they are not responsible, and do not have the right, to uphold BLS' monopoly. If 101st were trying to bring cardamine trade under its own control, which would include having smuggling ships for the transportation of it, than thats fine.. But do not deal with BLS' monopoly, thats our job.

About the Keepers.. Its true that Nomads and 101st have a fragile peace and the Nomads have a future plan for them.. That doesn't mean all Outcasts believe they are good and friendly.. Just because 101st think that we should accept them and treat them as gods doesn't mean all Outcasts have to. For example, I do not believe that.. My 101st, Luciano Demetri treats them like the other 101st do. My RoS, Vitale Demetri (brothers), does not think of them like gods and is pretty suspicious of them.. Juan Mendez, my indie, is also suspicious of them and thinks that they will bring no good to the Outcasts.. Any Outcast may look at them however they wish. 101st should not (not saying they do) make others like them.. But simply make sure no hostilities occur in Alpha or Beta.

Perhaps to make a compromise, have 101st either put Keepers under Unfriendly, or under Special Conditions, which would be described very clearly below the diplomacy list..


For the Zones of Influence list..

Change it to;

The 101st has territorial holdings within:

* Omicron Alpha
* Omicron 85
* Omicron Eta
* Omicron Beta
* Omicron 80
* Sigma 60

The 101st has influence within:

* Tau-23
* Newcastle

That is what it should say.. You don't have full dictatorship-control of Alpha and the others.. You have dictatorship-control of 85. Then you have much power, like a military and police force has, in the others. Tau-23 and Newcastle is simply influence, not territorial. Territorial is what would describe your control of Eta, Alpha, Beta, 80, and S-60. (80 only until RoS has it, as I think they are going for it sooner or later.)


If I missed anything, tell me. Didn't read all the posts.. Just the recent ones and the first.



EDIT: @Mjolner.. If this is about the Independent OC BSs, don't complain in here, its not the time or place for it.
