To me a faction needs to be a part of the freelancer Universe. It needs to have ties to other factions. It needs to have diplomacy towards everyone in Sirus. Player factions exist to improve on Freelancer and to aid in RP and politics by Rping their role in Sirus and how it affects all the other factions. House wars. Pirate wars. Alliances. Corporate wars. A player faction is supposed to highlight and show off the different traits of the different factions.
What I would like from DW is some detailed history concerning its role in Sirus and its politics, diplomacy, neutrality, hostility, alliances, etc all. Its back story and origin are fine. However, it needs a Freelancer story.
I really do not care about imports or developed from factions. As long as they put a good amount of effort in logically and realistically integrating their history and story with the other factions in Freelancer.
As of 3 days ago the entire DW story concerning its role in Sirus and Freelancer is:
Darkwing command received a DataStream from Kusari Naval forces offering a 12 billion-credit bounty on pirate TS Burgh. He was last spotted in Omicron Alpha. They immediately set out to trap him. When cornered near the northern section of Alpha, he jumped through an unmarked hole.
Faction Id: mercs [bounty hunter id]
NPC Alignment-BH
Diplomacy- neutral with all except pirates
Thats it. That is all anyone has to go on when dealing with you. No mention of Harvesters. No updated diplomacy. No zoi. No allowed ships/weapons.
It just does not seem like any effort has been put into the integration of DW, Freelancer, and Discovery.
Your attitudes throughout this thread are, We could really care less. This to me sucks.
This is a faction feedback thread. You are supposed to take feedback and work with it. Instead you just argue and disagree with anything negative said about you.
I dont want you folks to go. I want you folks to get to work with your RP.
A number of the stock Freelancer factions have a large story behind them and their place in Freelancer. Those that didnt got one from the players who started a player faction with them.
Now considering the DW was developed from somewhere else. Dont you think it fair and not much to ask that you develop your story and place in Sirus at least as much as people have done for the original Freelancer factions?
