So then what would be the reason of slapping a label with a different meaning on such a faction? Any "nostalgia" would not exist because it wouldn't really be the Harvesters' you seem so fond of. If I had to guess, I'd say this is a fixation on wanting to be a part of something that is no more. If that is the case, just get over it and make something truly new rather than attempting to force something to work. That triangle piece will not fit in the square slot unless you really beat the hell out of it.
Creating a faction about Harvesters once again is still possible with the current environment. An "AI entity" that is a hive-mind installed with slightly adjusted originial goals of the harvesters on several AI shells doesn't contradict any RP of PRIME, nor the "currrent" AI NPC faction. Don't know about future changes of the NPC faction though.
*sighs* Just an overt excuse to have OP players in ships that, even more so, don't have to play by any rules and blow people up and RP with their "friends" to make them Harvesters to have more pewpew.

That wasn't an attack. No need to go full defensive. If you didn't mean what you wrote or it was completely out of context, feel free to correct me on what you were really saying there.

Like Installing Wifi on the Titanic
implying that an "engage all the things" faction cannot be done well and automatically results in abuse and/or butthurt. The latter is probably true, granted, disco could get butthurt about a numbing anal cream.
let me direct you to: nomads, xenos, wild, some other factions I'm likely missing

a step back has been taken. antagonist, im sure you know already, has stepped down from his position, and two people have been placed into the leading charge in collaboration with ant.
i've noticed youre very involved in discovery, on top of commanding one of the most popular factions to date. i would like to know about your oppositions to current AI development, and why you want to see a rework into "synthetics" and the such. feel free to pm me this if you want. I would appreciate your response. thanks.
