' Wrote:The LWB don't fight the Corsairs, the Bretonians and the Hessians still end up shooting each other and the Mollys are still far enough that the "alliance" is more like friendly relations and trade in the real world. The SCRA - Hessian alliance (which is on a rocky road as well) seems to be enough to have all Corsairs running for the hills.
theres a massive difference between 'not fighting' and 'joining in the ganksquad to attack gamma' Your unholy alliance against everything corsair is bordering on a serious breach of 0.0; i invite you to make a titan and stand in out line of defense for an evening. Hell, i'll even PAY for your character. <ronnie, take the money of 'shikoko'>
' Wrote:I respond to trolling with trolling. Unless you seriously don't understand the difference between a Hessian - Outcast - Rogue alliance against the Corsairs (some of the largest unlawful groups in Sirius agreeing to commit forces) and a Hessian employing a squad of mercs to do a job? I mean, come on, the scales that are involved here are obvious.
Conjecture, and a degree of bias. Player RP means nothing in terms of what the mod content actually says. If it did mean something, then I could RP that since the Hessians killed all Corsairs in orbit of Crete a few weeks ago, "that means we are winning".
you said it. not me. The lolganksquads that your alliance created have polarised the server. well done there. the end result? we hear of an attack in gamma, and all corsairs come out in force, and then the raid is popped. those raiders qq in their skype channels, and their friends pull their cruisers down and dock them on the zoner bases, so they can assist at a moments notice
and then the zoners get slapped around for something that they didnt do, and then the omicroner faction dies down and is almost out. well done there.
' Wrote:If the Corsairs were as organised and single minded, surely they would have destroyed the Hessian movement a long time ago by simply pushing down on them with sheer force of numbers, which can be easily taken from their other fronts. Considering they don't means only that they can't, because they would surely want to. The only reason for this inability must be overall decentralisation, because I hardly see any other reason for a group as expansive as the Corsairs.
Yes, all the Corsairs in Omega-49 that by virtue of their disorganisation are concerned only with the riches of Dublin and aren't really too quick to go back into the Omega meat grinder. If they would be, see my point above about the Corsair organisation.
we cannot wipe out the hessians. you press 'respawn' and your back in the game. decentralisation has nothing to do with it. Sairs are the largest faction on the server, and the only one with THREE official fations, operating in separate areas. we have an advanced form of govt; autonomy within the areas of ZOO, and accord within ZOI.
however, i'll just say 'casablanca' here.
' Wrote:in addition to that, the hessian-molly relations are oorp: mollies want to expand into the omegas.... which is where the hessians are based. hessians should be as red to mollys as they are to corsairs
In addition to that, just how big is this population on Gran Canaria? I've found only a few rumours mentioning "Corsairs settling on the planet", and the rest just sees tales of Corsairs visiting the planet or using it to base off to attack Dublin - and largely no mention about the population itself.
Again, player RP. Server gameplay means absolutely nada. Even if RHA camped the Crete docking ring every day and blasted all Corsairs that undocked, it would still not provide a basis for server pvp to have any impact on mod lore. And this goes both ways.
Indeed. And there's already no shortage of posts trying to drag other factions into this conflict again. The one in the Sigma systems should be squarely Corsair vs Outcast. The Corsair vs Outcast conflict isn't major enough to be able to drag other factions into it on the premise of conflict itself. The only ones who stand by the Outcasts are the cardamine addicted factions. The only ones who stand by the Corsairs are the ones who can make a profit from artifact smuggling.
lore: corsairs paid for the planet in 49, zoners owe sairs plenty of mullah.
actual: the continued ganksquads that your alliance has whelped mean that you have created a corsair diaspora; we have a ZOI that far exceeds that of the hessians, to whit, you really should stop raiding in bretonia: you are rheinlanders. If the player-corsairs leave gamma, then the ganksquads will stop, as they will get bored of shooting nothing but npcs.
And then the activity of the Hessians will dwindle. The hessians need the sairs in gamma more than the corsairs need to be in gamma. if you would save your faction, start a war with the mollies, and give yourself more enemies, not alliances. I've been playing FL a looong time, across many servers; this gives me the experience to say that the hessians have less than a year to secure long-term rp/pewpew partners, before they start getting gentle reminders about activity levels.
