Various Thoughts (Rep, Ship Merchant, etc)

Indeed.

I thought of something else. The other House governments reportedly told the Liberty government to give a damn about the Xenos, as apparently otherwise Liberty wouldn't care because they don't attack Liberty shipping outside of the odd Light Arms raid. However, the factions that represent those governments - the House police and militaries - don't care about Xenos. This, in itself, is somewhat of a plot hole. Shouldn't those said 'other House governments' like anyone who shot up Xenos, if this was the case?

This is background that is revealed throughout the game on the Xenos situation. Why, then, doesn't the faction empathy support this?

And, technically, I would see Xenos fighting the Order just for Xenos being proper Terrorists interfering in the peace of the colonies. If there are any other factions who fight other humans for ideals (Terrorists), and not materials (Pirates+Corporations) or the law (Police), then I figure the Order could, potentially, step in to contend with them. If you really want them to have enemies, then make them enemies of [other] real Terrorists.

The Order would be friendly with such factions of revolutionaries as the Bundschuh, Blood Dragons, and probably the Mollys, Unioners... basically that whole alliance of political outcasts in the game that all like eachother. Just as they were in the actual story. And still prefer to avoid confrontations with the House authorities (Neutral or Friendly towards Police/Military). Again, as they tended to do.

An Order character would go into it fully understanding how the Order thinks - knowing that they would not fight anyone except those who threaten the peace of the colonies. If the Order isn't the Order, then what would be the point of someone roleplaying them, if their faction wasn't acting appropriate to how they are in the FreeLancer Universe?
