@ pimp- Problem is, not everything you typed in needs a reply cause it's just a simple difference of opinion. I'll give you a few though.
One, yes you were nazi'ing...it's clear that you have enough command of the English language to be able to overlook minor mistypes & spelling errors & still understand the point of something said given the context of the surrounding words. To point them out claiming that minor boo boos change the entire context of a post is just nit-picky.
Now, beyond that, let me get to it then.
Regardless of a persons ancestral bloodline, a persons identity is created by the environment they were born into. As I said before, I'm Irish by blood, historical ties & general appearance (hell, even my real name is Irish) but I am not Irish in any way beyond those things. I am a product of my environment & my environment is vastly different from the land of my forefathers.
That said, Gaian stations are not Bretonian property. They are Gaian property populated by Gaians, be they station-born or transplants from somewhere else. Being a Gaian is not a day job. They can't go flying around doing their thing & then go home to the wife & kids on any Bretonian held property. They go home to a Gaian station, & I'm saying that 77 years of isolation away from the root of their origins would result in Gaians having developed an offshoot culture of their own by now that would have an effect on every Gaian member regardless of their point of origin.
Yes, it's difficult to play out a sense of historical gaian pride on the server, but I will continue to try & give people an inspiration to think of their characters as something more than just a basic, shallow, spaceborne, greenpeace/hippie faction game filler as most tend to do.
If someone has a better idea on how to give the gaians more depth, I'm all ears, but staying stuck in a loop of shallow vanilla thinking just ain't good enough...disco is long past vanilla freelancer & using it as an argument to justify continued faction stagnation is just silly in my view.
The Gaians are STILL wide open for development, yet so far, the majority haven't explored & developed much beyond the filler the gaians were originally created as.
but I do love it when I see people trying different things cause we ARE out there
