Well, let's see it this way: both Core and Order can fight each other to kingdom come as far as I'm concerned (except the fact it attracts a certain type of people en masse), thing is the whole subject of and the premise of the entire conflict could lose the main structure support pillar - the nomads. And have it all come down back to what it was and to disband nomad player faction, cause the way I see the picture is that whatever is happening in Omicrons got stuck in a groundhog day, badly, people are bored to death with that endless PvPfest and myself I'm just preparing for the worst to come soon enough. Sucks, innit? Just a discussion, you know, so I guess we're here to discuss, right? Right... This whole mess needs a fix, solutions to move it away onto a better path rather than sit at mud pit and do nothing. I for one find zero enjoyment in what's going in that area, as a result growing inactive further day by day. Go ahead, write alliance, win the day, be a hero, heck I might even arrange a victory for that... but then what are you all going to do after? I think I know the answer: becoming obsolete.
I don't really have an issue with becoming obsolete as far as the Order is concerned. Far be it from that - I have been moving several of my characters back in house to do regular bounty hunting again as a side. My only objection to the whole process is that - from my perspective - that the Corsairs have decided they hve an issue and are saying what the Outcasts will have to do about it.
That's the similarity I'm coming up with here - because while we (the BHG) are the enemies of the Order - the Order certainly is not OUR only enemy. Please don't write a wall of text and expect it to be taken as a fait accompli by all parties involved. Clean up your own house, certainly, and if possible do it in RP. (Remember faction rights and the Apocalypse rebellion? And you'll note how closely now we guard both our ships and our weapons - and we're doing it within our RP. Try something like that if you're having issues with independants and lolwutters.
Quote:RIGHT 2) Official factions have authority over players of the same NPC affiliation, as long as RP justification is provided. This authority applies in forums and in-game, and applies to player faction diplomacy, and strategic and tactical direction. However, exercise of that authority, on the forums and in game, is restricted to official faction members with the rank of the official faction leader and one rank below him/her. The authority may be exercised through the use of in-game in-RP orders, which, if not obeyed, can result in in-game in-RP consequences (arrest, court martial, and even "lethal" force in extreme circumstances). Official Factions cannot, under any cicrumstances, require another player to follow non-canon RP if that player doesn't want to.
Kelt can issue orders that the High Command is afraid of concentrated Nomad activity. Then restrict all cap ships from going anywhere in Delta except for a straight line between the Minor Jump Hole and the 100 Jump Hole. That doesn't take care of the issue of any raids in Minor - but suddenly there should be no Gebs sitting at FP11. I'm certainly willing to work with Chris on something - if we're asked so we can discuss it.
Finally - I do agree with Tenacity (surprise!) about controlling large cap ships. Shouldn't be a big shock - I was all for the original faction right #5 that Dieter proposed when it was published the first time. But here's the key thing - guys, you HAVE to be fair to EVERYONE about this. You cannot impose restrictions on the sale of cap ships for one faction without giving that right to ALL factions. Which - again, from my perspective is NOT a bad thing. But of course, as Tena mentioned - anytime something like this comes up, you hear screaming about how terrible and untrustworthy all of those faction leaders are. (Never mind the minor detail that you're also talking about the same admin team that actually runs the day-to-day operations of this server. Obviously those poor blokes can't be trusted at all.)
