=CYLON= Clan

[Yngen]

...looking for the Xeno ID in their post here...not finding it... doesn't matter though: Xeno IDs are for Xenos and Cylons shouldn't use them...Though I seem to recall a certain other Non-freelancer-based faction using the Xeno ID until they were given one of their own by the gods.


Ahh yes, the old

"this is Freelancer not __________" argument. Familiar somehow. Must have heard it a year ago. Still a lot of hot air to me. Except this time some of the voices are different-seems closed mindedness gets passed on through the generations here. Go ahead and start regulating faction concepts. Clinch down on the creativity of the community. See where it gets everyone.

Mysterious and adventurous Cylons, this indeed has 'happened before' and will probably happen again. You have chosen a difficult path that others before you have failed with. Most likely you will fail as they did before. But feel free to prove me wrong.

My advise is: have better role play than anyone around you and keep your noses clean. If you do this, the cretin critics cannot touch you.

The Xeno ID was mentioned in game, and as ideas go compared to whats been happening round here lately,
this is not top of the list. And as for the use of that ID for that faction, it was a case of that or nothing ...
So please get off that trip..
Yngen, if its not going where you like it, I'm sorry, but its changed a lot while you have been away mate.
Last year was, well, last year ...

Point for Point (and most of them are good)

Friends/Allies...We need them that is not a question. I was told that RP was more important then anything else and I was trying to stay true even if it didn't make sense. Our story is that one Basestar made it here and now can't contact the rest of the fleet. It's stuck here. So with that in mind maybe we can start small and ally with factions to destablize the region further. I'll work on it.

PVP-whores/...As above maybe being hostile to everyone is a bad idea. We dont want to be pvp-whores. We started this thing as a opponent faction to the BSG and it spiraled out of my grasp quickly. A proper diplomatic status page is on its way.

Ships...I flew around disco for weeks before I found ships that fit my RP idea. I originally passed on the marauder because it was not combat balanced with the other ships I saw everyone using and thus didn't make a cylon character. The Kiith ships looked better and were a better match. If they have screwy hitboxes(whatever that is) then I don't know what to say. How do you fix that?

RP...This is the largest server for freelancer and there is plenty of room for player groups. Recently I found out that most people don't like the BSG or us and I understand why even if I don't agree totally with it. Besides I have seen some pretty crazy RP out there that is perfectly fine with people. Not to start a pissing war over RP's.

My newness...Um, ok. I have gotten a lot of help on this from a friend that has played here for a while and even copied his clan post but...it doesn't matter.

Xeno ID's were never an option.

We will dock at Planet Gammu as they are all robots there. And as I said a proper diplomatic list is pending. I ask that you give us a chance. Thank you.

What's creative about importing a race from a tv show into Freelancer? Nuthin.

From the moment I saw the =CYLON= tagged ships in game I knew they were going to post this faction idea and figured it would (rightfully) get shot down.

I smell a flame war coming... Let's try to avoid that, if at all possible. It's an idea, there really hasn't had much of a chance to see if it's a good one or not. Time will tell; I say, for now, let it be. At least until the diplomacy page is done.

first of all, this faction has been done before.
second...the maruader is soooo glitched.
I hit it with a razor 3 times,
and it killed me.
took 3 fighters nuke mining it to disarm it, and even then, it wasn't dead.


also, gammu is a good idea.
anyone else see that?
beautiful.

I'm sorry Centurion, one of your members mentioned that ID in game to an admin ... Pretty conclusive to
me I'm afraid. Thats the one that gets picked by the less scrupulous about RP, and more in the 'blowing up
crap' frame of mind. Apologies if its not your intention, but its someone's ...

I have to agree, unselie, that the hitbox is <expletive>'d up. I just tangled with one of 'em, and the only way to hit it is if you're shooting from the top down.

[Unseelie]

yeah...the ship has to be changed...it has 7000 hull and never dies...with that manuverability...its just a poor choice...its mean.
or, we could rape your guns and leave whenever you come by...
but...its a cruel exploit.

A certain Junker encountered a cylon in Omicron Alpha this past weekend, and that cylon RP'd the ensuing dialogue quite brilliantly. If the rest of the cylons behave as well as that one dialogued, then this idea may work better than any of us think...I'm skeptical, but no more skeptical than I am about the BSG, and if they can have a faction, then the Cylon's deserve a chance too. At least they are both spacefaring already, as opposed to the Byzantine Empire and some others roaming the nether regions of Discovery. Besides, the BSG back story is similar enough to the back story of Freelancer, that while it is a stretch, its not as big a stretch as some.
