Life as a Xeno - Mortum - 08-24-2008
Life as a Xeno on Discovery is everything but easy. Yes I know it would be hard to play a Xeno, that's what makes it so much fun, I like playing the minorities in RPG's, it makes things more interesting and often funnier RP.
But it's really annoying when people who aren't in "war" with the Xeno that opens fire as fast as they come in firing range.. I don't really mind that people who are in "war" with the Xeno opens fire as soon as they can, I do the same with traders inside the Liberty systems, to prevent their cargo to reach their destination. And I open fire on liberty police if I see them.
I would like to ask everyone to take a look at their faction allies/enemies and have a look if Xeno appear on the enemy list before opening fire. Ofcuase people would be cautious if there is a Xeno in their system, then try to find my reason for being there or order me to leave. Don't just fire because you see Xeno in front om my name (unless you are in "war" with the Xeno ofcause).
And playing Xeno is a big disadvantage besides the things I've mentioned so far. We are restricted to rather bad ships. We can't get any high payed missions in our bases. So I try to do missions at bases where they offer high pay so I maybe can afford a bomber and some nice torpedos. But that's next to impossible since most people opens fire as soon as they can.

Life as a Xeno is awesome! Yes everyone tries to kill you but thats what great about it, you cant get better practise and the RP is fun as hell :D
Get an Eagle, avoid ordanance and you are in one of the best VHF's in the game, the BlackWidow guns although energy mad are superb. Fly off the normal horizontal plane, use jumpholes instead of jumpgates. You never really have to fight if you dont want too.

I never said it wasn't;)Just that it's a bit annoying that everyone shoots you even if they are neutral.
And the Widows are good yes, but compared to a gunboat turret, no. We are not allowed to use the really good ships, and we don't get anything to compensate for that, not that I really mind, but it's a fact.
And since everyone shoots at us makes it impossible for us to get the high payed missions at any neutral bases as I mentioned before.
I'm using the jumpholes most of the time.

Amusingly, when I had a Junker VHF I'd frequently have independent Xenos run up and start shooting without saying a word, either.
Now that I just keep a gunship and roleplay a diplomat of sorts, I try to negotiate. And try to exact some kind of small gift or sworn fealty as a token of personal goodwill.
Xenos don't like it, but I've only ever killed one. And that was by accident -- I fired a 'wounding' shot and I didn't realize he only had Class 8 shields and no armor.

Xeno life is frequently very hard. The VHF we most frequently use is one of the best in the game (watch out for those mines) and the RP potential for a Xeno is aweosme.
I like fighting against the odds, and I am a VHF whore, so the Xeno's suit me down to the ground.
The XA is always looking for new members if you're interested, contact me via PM if you're interested in being a part of an officialy recognised Xeno faction.
Black Widows are excelent, and you can use the debilitator line (shield busters) as well, as they are civilian guns.
Infact a loadout I recoment would be,
2 Black Widows
2 Suntigers
2 Adv. Debs
or swap one of the debs for a missile of your choice and one of the suntigers for a widow.
have fun flying as a xeno, it can be one of the most rewarding experiences in discovery.

A few things. First off, you don't go to Omicron Alpha and give vague, evasive answers to the 101st, BLS, RoS, and SOB. You wanted to "land on Malta". That tells us -nothing-.
Also...Flying with a buddy in a Sea Serpent isn't a good idea...We hate BHG and their ships.
EDIT: This is NOT to become a Trial By Forum. I'm merely stating the facts.
EDIT AGAIN: Forgot...Have fun as a Xeno. Keep the outlook of Phosphate in New York. "I've got two Wryms and an unarmored Sabre. BRING IT!"

Ah, yes. That was a little misstake from my side, I had a look at the Outcast enamy and missed that Xeno was there. I noticed it when I took an other look. And the time I noticed it it was already to late..
And my pal hates that ship, he bought it before he became Xeno, and we were trying to do some missions so he could afford a new ship.

Well, I guess. But that's in the past now and too late to change.
erh... it's kind of lame... Xenomorph. But hell, I've seen people with lamer names here. Wont say any names though.

It's fixable if wanted. I was wanting to know so I could send hom some cash to get a better ship, if he wants it.
