Faction question - ErikLera - 03-08-2011 Hi, I'd like to start a new faction, however the subject of it is somewhat problematic and I'd like the community's feedback before anything else. Im sure a lot of you are familiar with the Firefly TV series and some of its characters known as "Reavers". To some who dont know, they're a bunch of cannibalistic spacefaring tribal community drifting around stolen ships looking for other ships to board, crew to slaughter, rape, eat... They mostly also recruit by making their victims watch such horrific acts which in turn makes them just as mad and bloodthirsty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaver_%28Firefly%29 The problem I have here obviously is choice of ships and ID, seeing as Reavers basically board any ship they want, so would be able to fly anything they want and wherever they please. Im willing to curb all this to suit Discovery and need your advice/ideas on this, or even if you flat out think having such a faction is a bad idea. Let me know! Thx Faction question - Enoch - 03-08-2011 The problem is there is already a faction named Reavers (a mercenary company). But I suggest independent Pirate ID. You can use gunboats, pirate more or less who you want (and kill them if they don't comply) and have a pretty unlimited Zone of Influence. Edit : As you probably know IDs allowing to kill any ships at will are heavily restricted. Faction question - Anonymous User - 03-08-2011 first of all... make sure your RP fits to disco lore many here failed... they tried to use any scifi stuff they like and bring it into disco... bad mistake. go for it but make sure you do not "copy" the stuff... if.. make it "alike" (want to say "make your lore and give some characteristics of the stuff you like") + the stuff the guy above me said Faction question - dodike - 03-08-2011 We already have Corsairs.

Read the link provided, did that sound corsair to you? Faction question - kun - 03-08-2011 ' Wrote:Hi, greets, the most fitting ID and ship style for you would be the Wild stuff i guess, but unfortunately i dun think there is a possibility to get it for an independent faction. So as already mentioned the independent pirate ID might give you the best opportunities for your RP. gl Faction question - Anonymous User - 03-08-2011 ' Wrote:Read the link provided, did that sound corsair to you? dont take em serous... some people here just like to be a jerks //dakun? you rlly think you are good ppl to give help in that since the *cough*....... ehrm... forget it Faction question - Dusty Lens - 03-08-2011 Hey there! Yeah, our use of the Reaver name might be somewhat problematic. But if we work out the naming convention it shouldn't be that hard to figure out a good middle ground! Our naming convention is Color.Reaver But if you're just going for a simulation of how the Reavers of Firefly operate you're likely in luck. The tech chart, the almighty guide to what people can fly, allows for the pirate ID to use the civilian ships of any house. Meaning you can end up with a wide variety of different transports from Bretonia, Rheinland, Kusari etc which you can use as your "we 'et the crew and now we're gonna 'et you" worldview. Running around in a hodgepodge fleet of transports jumping people wandering about will, I assure you, be all manner of good fun. The matter of issuing demands can be somewhat tricky, but you -can- make roleplay demands are readily as not. Demanding that a transport you catch surrender 5 of its crew to be eaten alive is definitely one you can make. One which experience has taught me few rarely know how to accept, resulting in the shooting and the running and the screaming and the OH NoOooOOooOOo.
