The Order - Future Direction

[Dashiell]

I'm going to add my 2 cents here, or rather my concerns regarding the first point: the Tech War (let's call it that, easier to type)

let's say the tech war ends in a grand showdown of fate. massive fight like suggested and once again the nomads sucker us stupid humans and set up us the bomb while we are busy shooting the snot out of each other.

Order loses almost all its caps. your choice, and a logical one. won't need em so much anymore if the Tech war ends. deciding that the BHG should ditch its caps following the nomad-suckerpunch goes a bit far.

secondly, the Core going back to bountyhunting in the edgeworlds? I thought people were yelling and screaming that hunting there had to stop? let alone in caps...

then, attacking Outcasts? why? with the Order gone, what stops the core from scooping up all the tech and researching where and whatever they want? apart from hordes of angry sushi-ike aliens, of course. bit unrealistic that the Order goes 'meh' now and leaves the Core alone while they run amok with nasty rayguns. but oh well.

but then, my main corncern.

If the Order goes all secret again, I think you lads will die of boredom. you will heavily rely on rp of your fellow 'enemy' players. as a house hunter, I can tell you, that sucks. you will just get the Keeper treatment: 'oh no order sighted kill kill kill'. I know what you are thinking. 'aha... but we won't BE sighted.' meaning long range text only rp. IF the other players decide not to just ignore you, like they usually do nomads when they can't see em. that too, gets boring as hell. talking to no one. IF you are even talking at all. secrecy, remember?

patrolling and flying around with nothing to do but 'recon' will become boring very soon I fear. you almost entirely rely on the Keepers, Wilde and the Kusarian Wilde (can't type the name, my fingers will end up in a knot) for your rp. they are rarely / not always online, let alone in numbers.

so what then? shoot nomad npcs? rp with nomad npcs?

In short my main concern is this: you want the Order to be secrative, undetected, unheard and unseen.

but what rp (and pvp, this IS an action game after all) is there when you are secret, undetected, unheard and unseen? non. that's the point when people don't you know are somewhere. and if they can't find you, they will just give up after 30 seconds, ignoring you alltogether.

my 2 cents.
