' Wrote:Because I tried to make credible the faction story. But maybe there will be corsair or outcast factions.
We are the group who finished in the Omicron Delta and then saved by Zoners. Other groups that have been saved from nomad ships may have docked in Corsairs or outcast bases. This is why I chose this story.
We are a new faction, without a real diplomacy and enemy. Zoner haven't a real enemy, except wild and nomads, the same faction who tried to kill us, so be a Zoner can be a strategic position to establish our side.
so, you're developing a meta faction? they dont work very well here
' Wrote:Because of this.
Anyway I'll work to make a nice history about latins when I'll be sure that this faction can be real ^^
' Wrote:Seems not.:lol:
Ok, this will not the first italian faction, thank to all for comments!
So this will be not a real italian faction, but a faction of Latins. ^^
this faction is unlikely to get off the ground, in the same way of someone who tries to start a faction of bad-ass quasi-criminals who are hunted by the BH, but they're really the good guys cos they're really well organised and orderly, and they fight off an alien invasion, and... you see what i mean?
there is already a STRONG latino component here <join the corsairs>, and you can fly ships called gladiators and legates and praefects <join the corsairs>. Tying yourselves into the zonerzonerzoner way of life just for the 5000 cargo limit... well, its perfectly allowed to have TWO characters, a zoner to make the $$$ and a corsair to have the pewpew.

No. If the faction will be real and work well, and if someone likes Latins, maybe there will be new groups of Latins that join Outcast or Corsair. Maybe, if someone want to make that. So there would be an alliance between the Latins Factions. Only that.
' Wrote:There's definitely an interesting concept here.
But I think the largest hole people are wondering about in your history is the connection back to Earth (Sol). Where were your people from? Why were they not on the Hispania if Italian or Liberty if American-Italian? Why the resurgence of the latin language and Roman culture?
Answer these questions in detail, and you'll have a good start.
Some first ideas that come to mind is a group of Catholic clergy or some such started the Latins...perhaps Latin was seen as a more pure language and one they would feasibly know.
If you're familiar with Jack Whyte, his Camulod story might be a good base as well. In that book, a group of Britons sees the end of the Roman Empire coming and established their own colony in southern Britain. They adhere to the discipline and military tradition of the Roman Empire (which had corroded in the Empire proper by then) but are governed by a civilian council. For RoL, this could be something like seeing the inevitable destruction the war on Earth would cause they left earlier, restructuring their society in the old ways of discipline and honor (a.k.a. Roman republic).
Thank you for the informations. I'll going to take 'into account your ideas. Now I'm working to the history, I think tomorrow I'll post a first form of Latins history.
I'll be sure to take a look at the history when you get it up. If you're looking for someone to bounce ideas off of, you can always PM me or I can send my Skype. I am GMT-8 (or 7? bloody daylight savings) so time zones may be an issue.
' Wrote:I think you are right. We still don't need 5k transports. We need to explore the new system too. I think we'll use a Freelancer ID. Anyway because we have lost all our technology, we will try access to a new technology. This may be an other goal. If a day we will have a strong diplomacy with zoner, and decide to have our Republic in the omicroners system, we will use a Zoner ID. What do you think about this decision?
If you develop a relationship with any of the Zoner groups - you'll find we have no issue with giving our friends weaponry to defend themselves with. Our only requirement is that you role play with us.
As far as using the Zoner ID later - Zoners typically shy away from large governments. At least that is our current role play. They typically become corrupt and take away the freedom we crave. Of course, there is nothing stopping your group from becoming Zoners and then leaving the Zoner community to form your own community. The Virulian Enclave did that.
My suggestion is to flesh out some of the back story (what Dio asked about) and then just work on role playing toward some goal.
