The Order - Future Direction

[Blodo]

A lengthy post.....

Each point is worth commenting on its own, however, the first part that sticks out in my mind is in the allegiances part:

Specifically in regards to the Hessians and Dragons - Both of these are allies of the Outcasts, which means you will potentially be in situations that would pit you against the Corsairs, your former allies. Now given the discovery RP angle where the Outcasts, major suppliers and allies to the factions you mentioned tend to venerate the Nomads - the very species you are sworn to fight against....

You see where im going with this?

Why would the Order put themselves into that camp in such an obvious way? Who are the Hessians in particular going to side with.... The Order (for what benifit?) or the Outcasts (with obvious benefits in their war with the Corsairs).

Laowai.... how long has it been since you followed anything of what's been happening in the mod? Neither Dragons nor Hessians are Outcast allies, and haven't been for a long time... In fact, both of them are quite opposed to both Outcasts and Corsairs at the moment. So I would say this argument has no place really... no matter who the Order sides with, Dragons and Hessians will fight Corsairs. So it's a non issue.

On the topic of the changes: I have an Order indie, but despite that I agree with these changes and would like to offer an alternative to the rather silly idea of "Order capship license": use faction right no. 5. The Order| can declare any ship hostile to the Order as long as it is within RP for them to do so. Any idiot captain can be declared as nomad infested, and to be hunted down. Then you pass a note to the admins, and he gets a red rep to the Order to reflect that, and possibly a trip to Bastille upon the loss of his ship.
