The Order feedback

[Jinx]

@Saigo.Watanabe:

you must take into account that "your little LF" has a powerplant of the heaviest VHF ( over 15.000 ) and is considerably more agile AND smaller than even the arrow LF ( the most agile public LF around ) - has a torp slot and 3 guns that equal ~5 guns on any public ship.

that in itself is not the problem - the problem is ... everyone knows that these LF are so powerful, so you cannot really expect someone to go 1 vs 1 on you, cause frankly, your ship is as powerful as at least 2 public ones.

that aside - i have observed that the balance of power around the omicrons is sometimes messed up, - but not always there is someone to be blamed for it. - one time, an appropriate corsair force launches from gamma to meet what they see in delta ( BHG| forces ... i mean ) - at the similar time, an appropriate force launches in minor to meet the same threat. - a bad timing might have them join in delta and suddenly you have a totally inappropriate force meeting a smaller force.

mind, that happens with every faction there - sometimes the order is coming with too many, sometimes the corsairs, sometimes the BHG - and yes... sometimes the keepers. ( i remember flying patrol pathes around fp11 - and my "little eagle" was attacked by 4-5 keepers ... it has only happened once, cause i mostly simply log out when keepers come, - but it happened )

the point is... it happens to EVERYONE. - and everyone is guilty of doing it to others occasionally.



on a direct feedback...

the "new" order| appears to be less organized than the BS|. that is not based on facts... but on feeling. it might be cause the BS was perceived as a smaller special unit, and the order "appears" to be the entirety of the order. - but it sometimes feels like the faction is now larger than the black squadron, but hasn t really reformed its structure.

[ again - that is just a feeling ]

other than that, the order ships have been OK in the omicron systems - but totally lacking in what i ( personally ) consider the major work of the order.

and that is the order as an intelligence unit. - i would really like to see more RP in house space and everywhere around, more presense without combat. - the order should employ non order informants, it should make deals with traders ( those are the people that get around the most - while at the same time are the most invisible ones ) or freelancers.

of course, i cannot know if that is not already being done, cause if such deals and relationships are RPed correctly, i wouldn t get to know about it.

the order as it seems from an outside position is currently very focussed on combat... but combat should come second for the faction - imo. sadly, those aspects of RP are hard to RP in an arcade combat system like freelancer.

but all in all - the faction looks fine.
