My Proposition

[Korny]

Alright, even though I still have no idea how I'm gonna' write this up now, I'll just write what comes into my head about it.

So, The Order. Most of us know the Order from the vanilla game. Yeah, these cool guys, undercover agents present in every house and in most companies/militaries. This cool, subtle organization who operate from Omicron Minor against the alien threats.

Now, lets take a look at the Discovery version of the Order...

-A crapton of Osiris'
-A crapton of other caps
-A crapton of (yes, hate me for it, I'll take the pain) people who do not feel like roleplaying and camp Isis instead.
-A more and more less present official faction
-Basically it isn't The Order at all.

So, I don't know how many people will agree with me on this, but the Order was my favourite faction in the vanilla game. In Discovery, it's more or less a burden. The Order isn't supposed to have that many capital ships, leave alone Osiris'. They aren't supposed to fight large scale wars with the Bunters or Liberty. They ARE supposed to be a small group of subtle agents and cells of agents.

The Discovery Order seems to have completely lost its actual goal, fighting the alien threat. Where are my anti-hero Order agents from the original game ?

Now, how do we solve this ?

-Restrict the Osiris', the Geb, the Reseph, the Hathor to anyone but the official Order faction. (Very much like the Togo for the Blood Dragons)
-Restrict the above mentioned ships in numbers. There aren't supposed to be that many Osiris' on the server, or in Sirius in that case.
-Restructure (Yes, I would do my part as well) The Order official faction. They should have more power over the independent Agents than they have right now.

Now that's just a short version of the things that were floating around in my head since I've started playing here.

I'd like you guys to discuss this as friendly as possible. Trolling, flaming or just being retarded will have consequences.

Thank you.

There was this petition I saw a few weeks ago going through skype.

About this stuff....

As for my opinion: Order needs to be limited yes.

[Korny]

Another thing I would propose is, restrict the faction completely. Make it invite only, or similar to the Commies, which means no independent Order agents flying around.

That sounds harsh, but I think it's needed. Don't make it as strict as lets say the Nomads, but limit it.

I don't think there is a need for making the Order faction a closed faction, but perhaps restricting the capital ship use may do the trick.

Well, I personally tried playing an Order Character. I undocked from Toledo, and what I saw just totally broke the immersion, and made me lose the itch of playing an agent.

Yes, I know, this is the case for many other factions, too. But I think this is the worst case.

I have to agree. Order at current form is without any order at all, and does not look as Order at all.
Make a forum vote, and see how in general community feels, maybe this might be passed to admins to see to it.

While we're at it, Admin/Dev input is wanted. Thank you.

A good deal of other factions have the same issue. Shall we do the same to them also?

Name them. I have counter-arguments for all the obvious ones you can come up with.

This is about the Order, and only about the Order. Read my post above, yes, but The Order's got it worse than other factions.
