Quote:Like I said, our base has no interest to us. It's a pointless thing. Also the brigands don't like us. No one in Gallia likes us. Why should we go to Gallia when we can't even keep up the cardi flow here in Sirius? And populate a planet? With what population?
Also, Lane Hackers seems to have transformed into not so friendly HF. Who will build a docking ring now?
The reason why i kinda abondoned Outcasts/Corsairs is because we NEVER get new things, new toys and systems. Both of these factions are huge powerfull and rich. Why not build more bases? Trade lanes? Why can't Corsairs ground expand? Just for Gods sake, put a Osiris near the Cambridge - Omega-3 gate and lets say its captured! There's no progress and thats boring, the only cool things do happen in Bretonia, Liberty, Gallia and Rheinland. Outcasts and Corsairs is just a freakin copy-paste from 4.85, NO CHANGE!
Its very boring that OC and Nomads don't have bigger relations, free acces to Nomad systems to pew Order, BHG and Sairs there and all other nomad hunters. Some people are shutting their factions down, they don't want things that would rise up the player activity a bit. I mean, Omicron-90 99 Iota.... It would create so much new stories, missions!
If you saying that we're too inactive, then this, is where it must've happened.
I asked Bretonia if Outcasts ships could fly in their space to hunt GRN. What did I get? NO.
I proposed that Outcasts and Nomads should be friendly, not unfriendly. What did I get? NO.
And even more things I don't remember. I tried everything, looks like it fails all the time. So I decided to continue without thinking about Outcasts RP.

Wasn't OC defined as the party that raided Taus into submission, wtfpwned everything, got pwned sometimes, but it was great in the madness-Taus compared to now.
We (IMG| vs. OC officials/indies) had a good snubfight yesterday, the first for quite a while. And all I talked to (on both sides) said it was refreshing.
My suggestion: Why not meet in T37 and pew it out... fighting is fun. If you feel that enemy numbers are too high, we can limit numbers to a certain amount so it is fun for all.
And... hint hint hint... the IMG VHF got nerfed in the last update. Your Sabre is back in business, I swear. Only the Garlics have better equipment than you have in the Taus... but they are Garlics and inactive.
Contact me (IMG|Brigid.O'Shaunessy, IMG|Julia.Morrow and everything with "Henderson") when you see people in Tau 23 and you feel like meeting somewhere (also in a place that pvp death doesn't hurt, if that is a problem) and let's have some fun.:)

And this ^
Outcasts are so goddamn filthy sniffers shooting down IMG's, get shot, taxing.... And when I read on the lores of 4.86, I see absolutely nothing about Outcasts. Why don't you mention how powerful and skillfull Outcasts are? If Outcasts don't get known of anything, how do you supposed to think that more players will enjoy being an Outcast?
And too much hostilities in Tau/Liberty made me stop smuggle since its not rewarding AT ALL. Rise up the prices! Do something so we can become something we're supposed to be - smugglers, guerilla assualts, free access in Liberty ( The LR clowns don't seem to be happy about our presence. In canonical RP, Outcasts are the ones who teach Rogues to fight and fly. I saw that on rumours).
My last and biggest wish is to make Outcasts more lawfull than unlawfull. The smuggler should use Smuggler ID with OC IFF, pirates should use Pirate ID with OC IFF etc etc. Be lawfull so we can make peacetalks with Bretonia and Rheinland since we don't have much hostility against each others.

Coz you wanted to bring there your caps...that's why they said no no to you. Use your snub they will warmly welcome you.
Quote:Heck, even XTF doesn't log as much 'cause the ships don't do anything.
Lot of us actually have tons of other stuff to do in RL and RL>>FL. Nerfed ships...well we are XTF we don't care about that kind of details;)
And in topic...forum stuff like tons of unnecesery crap in comm channel doesn't show lvl of OC RP. Actually it's one of good things I can tell about Outcasts. As XTF leader I'm not going to raise our activity in that matter apart of occasional answers for comms directed to us or in cases which affect us directly or indirectly. We are playing in Freelancer not forumlancer.
[GSC] players are still about sometimes. Though at the moment we are all suffering lag, for me makes the game unplayable atm. We are constantly on the look out for new members too.
But problem is, cardi doesn't do well in gallia. would only be a pure rp thing as it makes no real profit, even to cover damages getting in and out through the mined jump hole closest to the outcasts.

Post that as an economy bug - devside can sort that out right quick.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.

A economic chain a strong playerbase does not create. I'm sure many would call into question the life and vitality infused into the Zoner and Outcast ranks by the old Human/Deut run and the atrocious Cardi/Slave run.
A floodgate of silent opportunists provides, at best, fodder for all factions save the one sponsoring them. The sponsors, in turn, find themselves placed in the role of apologists and caretakers.
While I'll propose the following humbly, as I have no desire to immerse myself in the vision currently upheld in the Ex-Jameson/Eppy Outcast house, a rather profound internal rework of how the Outcasts present themselves, their goals, ambitions and targets would be an extremely good step if coupled with a substantial volume of forum noise to both excite attention and garner the same.
Or, in short. Rebrand yourselves and shake the cage.
Easier said than done. But I believe it to be the best course of action.
Finally, of course, there's the classic wisdom of stepping up to the plate and charging into the game alone as many times as it takes before others take notice and decide what you're doing looks like fun. You can't expect people to show up to a party that you're not going to throw until after they've arrived.

Can you elaborate what you mean here please? As far as I know, Outcasts are our closest allies.
Edit: Ontopic: Try to find something new and expand on it. Corsairs are enemies with everyone down in the Omegas/Bretonia yet they are not de-motivated by that fact.
The biggest problem is that people just sit on forums and complain about activity, nerfs, lolwuts that don't RP... Maybe they should start flying for a change, start adopting to nerfs, start to RP. If 90% of Outcasts doesn't RP, it doesn't mean you should do the same. I am trying to be active as much as time allows, and all I see are people sitting in front of Malta in their Dreads waiting for something to happen. Yes, some of them posted here complaining about activity and boredom of playing an Outcast character. There are jump holes, you know. Grab your snub and go search for a RP. You have much more chances of finding RP than it has of finding you.
I read the first two pages and got what I needed from the thread...basically what it looks like is that there just isn't enough activity because the Outcasts have been put in the corner with the way the French built up, the CR (which are now gone) pushing into Alpha, along with the .86 nerf to the OC ships. Sound about right? Sounds like an extenuating amount of circumstances just really knocked the OC out of the spotlight.
I'm looking to gather some information to see if anyone would be interested in helping develop a massive Smuggling faction. If I get the feedback I'm looking for, I'll send you guys a communication on the forums about seeing what we can do to get the Cardi trade spun back up in heavy masses, even some in to Gallia if the money's right.
DRV, or any other OC leader, I'll hit you up on Skype to see what we can draw up once I get enough feedback for this faction I'm working on. I hope it's enough to help. I'd also be willing to join up with the OC and help with teaching/participating in RP in game...I'm not the greatest pilot in the world, but I can RP up a storm.
