Gaians and Corsairs

[Benjamin]

Then you find a very large faction that seems to be fighting ALL of those enemies. AND, they even have shipyards with new tech to trade. Sure, they may seem to be a bit shifty, but hate your enemies almost as much as you do, plus they can help you build up your forces quickly and efficiently.


See, I don't think it matters if the Red Hessians use Cardi at all. They profit from the stuff, and it helps them fuel their war machine. Taking sides in the war could spell the difference between a worker's movement getting off the ground and fading into obscurity. Sure the Gaians have funds from the Green Front, but the Corsairs help them become pilots and station engineers and anything else they want. Ditto with LH, Mollies, GC and FA.

Hate your enemies almost as much as you do? I was under the impression the Order was about saving humanity, not sitting around in the edge worlds trying to kill it?

And, you're only looking at one side of it.

Yeah, the Gaians could learn how to be pilots and engineers from the corsairs (presuming the corsairs would want to teach them, which is a pretty huge if, in reality), but doing that would completely remove any legitimacy the gaians had at all. The green front would have to (have they done this?) completely sever ties with the gaians or they're all just pirates. They go from gaians to, as I said before, just corsairs.

It's the same with the Order. Going from these super noble humanity savers to a bunch of guys working with murdering cannibals for pretty ropy reasons (I mean, wouldn't an alliance with the zoners have made way more sense).

The Outcast stuff I have less of a problem with on the whole, but there should be way more white aroudn than green. Hessians and Outcasts should be friendly because they are fighting the same enemy. Not allied, but friendly. And without the corsair enemy, they have nothing linking them at all.
