I will post to clarify some points and avoid possible manipulations. I know main points of the opponent side so I will just make a short summary on them.
1. Oracles basing on Malta is rather new concept made by
after he took over the faction. Original Oracles
http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=18437 had nothing to do with Malta and based on Shrine from humble beginnings. Oracle ID is even now being sold on Shrine and not on Malta. All claims of the Oracles being on Malta since ages inRP and having giant influence there is nothing, but player made non-canon powergamish RP.
2. Oracles are
Freelancer ID based faction that was trying to claim Malta as their NPC base. I'm not gonna mention that
have constructed their ID in a very strange way, while
was AFK. Things like 100% OC cell (including cruisers) than came out very suddenly. Tech is also being used without any RP permission and we couldn't get any RP from the Oracle| for it. Outcast technology used by the Oracles is a matter of different discussion and probably a different request.
Since we know that other factions, such as Commune, who cut their OC ID lines and RPed with us for their two cruisers. So there is no issue in giving away the technology, but please do it with RP and cooperate with the faction that is holding technology. Yet, Oracles just took it and do nothing but impudent RP trying to enforce their headlore.
Saying that FR5 from OCs can terribly impact/kill FL ID based faction RPing Sirius wide network is rather silly. Outcasts have less places to dock.
3. Claim on the OC lore and NC-/<f- being a new faction and breaking something old are also not upholding any criticism. First of all |+|- was officially merged and incorporated. I was last |+|- and first NC- leader, there is no interruption with the Outcast factions. When it comes to important decisions (such as this) I also talking with the older generations of the Outcast players, who happened to be my friends. All I did was an effort to continue the same line and make changes as smooth as possible. Not to mention we consulted even with unofficial back then factions to reach overall consensus.
Yes, relations with the nomad cults have changed due the time, because ABSOLUTE majority of the Outcast players wanted it. I had conversations with Scourge and Arioch, even founders of the Crimson Cross said that Outcasts worship nomads as the mainline concept IS NOT WORKING. And they planned to do something similar to NC project. We do respect RP that was done by the previous players, so Malta is still an umbrella for the nomad cults. And if they play the game politely, they are able to get what they want (see the Commune).
4. We tried to act in a very careful and gentle way and begun with using FR against one particular ship. Sadly, it did not help and Oracle| approach on the things did not change at all. I personally had a plans on working with the Oracles in the newly formed back then OC government-like projects for all factions that related to Malta inRP. But from the current point of RP situation, perspectives are not that good.
Also can I ask what 'hostile only to the official faction' line means? I mean we could kill them without FR5, they are FL ID, especially after stealing outcast technology. But the point here is not to shoot and hunt someone down. :\
