' Wrote:@Athenian: LNS-Tundra is a unique case, and it's a special request which has been granted, it's not a faction, so let's not try to put these two things into equation - they're absolutely different, both in terms RP goals and in game/RP implementations as well. Tundra is consistent with related factions/individuals and took a long path to get to the current state. This, however, is not consistent.

Pretty much for an idea there got to be grounds existing to build upon, can't build on a place already taken by someone, those common grounds existing between individuals and factions around, official or unofficial. So there are lots of things to consider, especially how the idea will affect others directly and indirectly. Global consistency is very difficult to maintain as it is, and creating many instances of the same factions modifying them greatly begin to blur and distorting the distinction they have, effectively damaging roleplay overall causing inconsistencies and confusions as to who plays what and how things, individuals and factions, are related to each other, becoming a mess that would be nearly impossible to understand. There is much more to it, but that's just a basic outline I wanted to say as regards ideas, uniqueness and things like that. Like a big puzzle, if you try putting too many pieces (roleplay models, stories, concepts) from a different puzzle set eventually you'll fail to recognize what is the whole picture the puzzle pieces make up.

True. Having said that there are plenty of examples of factions that are or were based on grounds that didin't pre-exist. Like import factions etc. We have had our fair share of stuff from other worlds on the server. On the other hand, many factions built on more solid Freelance lore can and do struggle to survive, because not everyone regards moving water around as fun. It's not beyond the realms of possibility for what this thread proposes - considering the other pretty mad faction descriptions I've seen elsewhere; it's just an idea (as shinwa puts it) that needs to be massaged into reality. I have seen other LN ships out in the Omicrons and it makes me curious - the general reaction is player disbelief, as opposed to character disbelief. Treewyrm is spot on about the current situation in the Omicrons - adding LN ships to the mix is asking for trouble at this stage.

What would be interesting is how any "friendly" to all humans thing works. Having the attitude of a naiive youth-hosteller in the worst, most brutal systems shouldn't last long.

The assumptions that it is "another lolwutting nommie killing" faction are a little unfair and prejudiced. We can assume the worst about another player, but when someone is in the game this short a period of time, surely any attempt to adapt an idea is to be welcomed and encouraged through adopting a more positive and constructive tone. New players are the life-blood of the server, and if factions give off the impression that they can't reasonably accomodate another player's ideas, it closes doors for them.

But all this is off the point. The more lolwutting nommie killer factions the better. Them nasty things tried to suck out our brains. LN tagged Vigilante anyone? If they simply didn't care about other humans rather than being friendly with everyone, then this might seem more genocidal military than what it is now....which is kind of like an alien-hating superhero. But if it wanders into Delta or Kappa, that's stretching the imagination a bit too far.

Most proposals have to demonstrate a certain degree of restraint in terms of what you can fly, where you can go, what you can do. That would be my suggested route. Less is more.
