Order / Corsair alliance

[Anunaki]

Common Enemies =/= Alliance

The Corsairs will continue to attack Nomads, BHG, and Liberty ships without the alliance, and both sides have gotten enough tech and shipbuilding resources out of the deal to continue without each other. The Order should return to its vanilla alliances with the Rhienlanders and Dragons.

1: No
2: No
3: No

1: Between omicron minor and gamma, you have Delta and Kappa. Both ar crawling with nomads. And BHG. Order and Corasirs will be automaitcally fighting side by side, repairing at the same bases. Thats effectively already an alliance against BHG and Nomads, wether you call it like that or not. And you say they have 'enough tech and building resources'. What is 'enough'? More you allies you got, more resources you got. The Order gains the way of passage and shieldbuster guns, the Corsairs gain by strengthening someone who fights their enemies north of them, and the contacts and influence of the ORder in the 'informal sector'.

2: In Vanilla, the Blood dragons were pirates who were fighting the Kusari gouvenment, like they are now. But then, the Kusari government was INFECTED with nomads. Thats the only reason they helped each other. Now, Kusari government is FIGHTING the nomad wilde. If Order allies with dragons, they would be indirectly HELPING the nomads. Duh?

2: In Vanilla, the Bunschu were pirates who were fighting the Rheinland gouvenment, like they are now. But then, the Rheinland government was INFECTED with nomads. Thats the only reason they helped each other. Now, Rheinland government is FIGHTING the nomad wilde. If Order allies with Bundhscu, they would be indirectly HELPING the nomads. Duh?

In all of this what you always see is: devide people in 'good' or 'bad' and just continue like the vanilla SP was. The whole situation with nomads has changed, and this black and white view of faction RP is really superficial and boring. There can be crooks in Order, there can be 'good guys' in Corsairs. And when you make alliances, THINK who they are actually fighting and who benefits an alliance, dont just try to make SP nostalgia. The order always communicated with individuals in the pirate factions, not the factions as a whole. And what the pirates did in SP were favours, not alliances.

Ok... seems to me this thread exists because some Corsairs are pissed that they cant fly Osirises?
The reasons for that are simple: it would totally screw up the RP atmoshpere. If everyone flew ships that dont belong to their faction, and that dont conform to the CHARACTER of their faction, it would take the 'soul' out of that faction.
Furthermore, different ship designs are different because they aqre adapted to the builders resource availability and also to hte funciton that ship should fullfill. And those are, simply put, very different for Order (all-out covert, guerrilia warfare of an organisation that exists only for war) and Corsairs (a civilisation that relies and piracy, defending their homeworld, and also has 'prestiege' motivations for their leaders)
