Corsair Order alliance

[Zelot]

There are major flaws in the logic of this so called 'alliance'.

First of all, in RP, the Order have far more advanced technology than any Corsair can dream of. Just because the Titan was considerably superior to the Anubis in the vanilla game, it doesn't mean the Corsairs had more advanced tech. It's just the developers' way of making the game harder for the player. There's a single difficulty level, but the game gets gradually harder as you go through Bretonia.. Kusari.. Rheinland and so on, with Liberty being the easiest of them and the Omicrons being the hardest. So this is where the discovery devs failed, which is messing the game mechanics with roleplay.

Secondly, much like their other allies (the Hogosha), the Corsairs are genuine artifact smugglers, clearly something the Order wouldn't tolerate. The Order are a very complex organization, whereas the Corsairs have a form of organization, they are still basically ruthless pirates, that would care less about the fate of manking. So, another mismatch of the two.

And thirdly, it's the devs' fault that they created Omicron Delta as a clashing point between these two factions. Why would the Corsairs build a base in Delta and not in Kappa first, I have no idea, but it lacks any logic. And as far as I'm concerned, Omicron Minor was linked to a sector of Omicron Beta, the one with the nomad lair.

This stuff needs fixing, for the sake of RP. Of course, there are many people against taking action, probably because they're too attached to their factions or something, even though their stories are pretty much ridiculous due to this.

Teshy, this is not about the Titan being better than the Anubis, the basis is that the Order is supposed to be a small covert organization, they didnt (and in my opinion still shouldn't) have huge ship building complexes, they also work in secrecy, they need someone to make their ships and help them get supplies that wouldn't have any benefit in ratting them out to Liberty. The Corsairs have the ship building network, and wouldn't be believed by anyone is they tried to sell out the Order anyway. Aside from that, the Corsairs have been fighting against the Nomads pretty much longer than anyone in Sirius, guess the order might be interested in the knowledge they had. Lets remember, untill 4.84 the only bases the Order had were Toledo, a barren planet, and the Isis, a single Osiris.
