New House Idea

[McNeo]

To be honest, Scandanavians do tie in with Rhinelanders (the old blonde hair, blue eyes thing is very promenant there). The only kind of "faction" that I can think of at the moment would be the Coalition, but that would be hard to fit in to the storyline of Freelancer adequately.

The Africans would have developed the technology for space flight, along with just about everyone else. However, Africa would have been, in my opinion, more of a battlefield than a nation.

To be honest, Russia/China are the only major ones which are missing. If both the Chinese and the Russians were to be included, I would make them two different sub houses. Both would come under the Communist flag, but they would be split up into their own systems.

So yeah, thats my opinion on the matter.

(Just read Korrd's new post):

What possible strategic advantage could anyone gain from taking a cluster that is out of the way...unless;

BMM finds resources there, and they push the Kusari's back using them. In a desperate bid to avert disaster, The Kusari Navy initiate an all out attack, utilising their whole fleet to take the cluster (and now the cluster is a battlefield, like Tau 31, but with Corsairs and Outcasts in their Titans and Sabres involved along with both navies, Mollys and Dragons doing their part too... (of course, when the intentions of both sides are revealed to the general public).
