' Wrote:This is an interesting idea, but it will almost kill Molly unlawful roleplay I fear. The zones as Dieter projects do not include the two fields where BMM miners most often mine - if Mollies could no longer go there, what's the point of being a Molly? The drive towards Dublin's independance, and the removal of BMM from the entire system are the cornerstones of the Molly faction.
I must second this.
Scenario 1:
We accept the proposal without changing the mining field droprates:
The idea of the game is to have interactions. If the Mollys stay in their Zone and BMMs mine in their zone mollys are useless since they would not interact with the BMMs.
If the Mollys will go in the BAF/BMM zone and pirate then it will be the same chaos situation like now, and wont change the BAF position according Mollys- hostile. It is hard to be neutral with BAF and help them against let say indie pirates if the same BAF people shoot you when you try to pirate the hated BMMs, so mollys team with the indie pirates in this case and it makes the situation worst for both sides. So the proposal like the old one proposed by Mike is useless since it wont change anything in the system.
Scenario 2:
We accept the proposal but nerf all BMM fields by half and buff the Molly field, it is not necessary to be exactly the Aaramore field. It could be the O.49 Field for example but it should be the best field around where the BMMs would make the biggest profits, the field would be in Mollys zone so BAF wont protect the BMMs there.
What this change will accomplish?
1: Mollys hate BMM not BAF. Mind this! It will reduce the oorp player hate between the both factions and will increase their cooperation against the common enemies.
2: BMM should be aggressive and territory hungry company in RP, it fits perfectly to risk more in order to gain more profits or stay in the nerfed fields in safety of BAF protectors. It will increase the activity of all Bounty hunters, Mercs etc, and BMM escorts who will try to secure the Molly field in order to have higher profits.
3: Mollys behaviour- it is a bit illogical for Molly to tax the BMM miners,or allow them to mine Gold in the molly Zone.
They should ask for the ore, Mollys should be able to trade with the Ore and to have their miners, after all they are former miners right?
4: External enemies: Kusari/Indie Pirates/ Corsairs etc.
If they are around the Mollys and BAF should team up to remove them. If the BAF and mollys dont shoot each other all the time, there is a big chance this to happen.
