Ideas for an Alternate Future - Croft - 05-19-2013
Last night I got a tad bored and decided to write up an alternate future for Disco with the focus of getting every House involved in some form of conflict. Admittedly I did miss out a lot of player and trading factions mainly because they are difficult to work-in given their generic nature.
Instead of using the old fashioned Disco story method, I opted to try to make sense of the conflicts and the probable reactions by those effected by them. I've even attempted to make Gallia interesting which is no mean feat I assure you.
I'd like to see the community's reaction and thoughts and if any of you wish to use some of the ideas here you are welcome, so long as you give credit where it's due and link this thread as the source. Enjoy!

I'd like to see Kusari have more equal rights for women. As I play a GC character, maybe more influence? Just an idea.
But on another note, I really like most of these ideas. Interesting idea for the Gallic war.

The BHG Core has no base in Kappa, and won't get I think.
The AI Consensus fights the nomads, mainly because communication to them is impossible, and Khara for example shoots everyone who doesn't RP with them.
But else, Interesting idea. I like it.

Coalition already claims Omega 50 as its system. We allow traders to go there, but warships will get driven off from it. Omega 5 is Corsair/Hessian battlegroud. We assist Hessians in fighting Corsairs there. If you speaking of SCRA, we already doing all that. We raiding everywhere actually, not just Omegas, but its closer to us ofc.
RE: Ideas for an Alternate Future - Croft - 05-20-2013
Do keep in mind this was done with quick glances at the FL companion map and what I remember of NPC faction diplomacy so 90% of the possible movements are from bases listed in system.
Regarding the BHG Core, I didn't envision a base in Kappa just a small fleet of static ships hidden about the system.
The AI I assumed would be non-entities to the Nomads since there is no mind to feel or communicate with, similiarly I assumed the AI would remain neutral since it's not logical to be embroiled in a war that doesn't effect them.
I didn't mean the SCRA or the Consensus, as player factions are tricky as each have their own agendas so I tend to go for the overall faction. Since the Omegas have been pretty much abandoned as each faction draws it's forces back home in a fight for survival. The Coalition would fill the vacuum, seeing this as their chance to gain a substantial foothold and be one step closer to the Houses. It may not be Sun Tzu but I think it pushes the feel of conflict nicely.
I'm actually impressed that folks took time to read through it and I'm glad you like some of the ideas.
RE: Ideas for an Alternate Future - jammi - 05-20-2013
A lot of these ideas are actually already a part of future mod plans. A lot of the finer details are different, but on the whole this seems like a logical deduction.
RE: Ideas for an Alternate Future - Lythrilux - 05-20-2013
Very nice!
I like the first section the most, with the ideas about Gallia. I would love to see them nuke Bret, then move onto nuking (or attempting to) nuke Liberty. It might put some much needed activity back into Gallia.
Though, I wonder what it would be like if the Rheinland ceasefire is simply a ploy, and that they strike Liberty whilst it's being attacked Gallics.

Kishiro would get only another war on new front with GMG if they would try that. These guys are persistent.
RE: Ideas for an Alternate Future - Timmy - 05-21-2013
Sir, don't try and make something for next mod, unless you know situation in all factions. Kusari was already splited, and you know what? One part of it already died, second is somehow holding. If you try to split it again, will be exactly the same, if not worse.

Thats not true, because Nomads are known to shoot on everything, that doesn't speak with them. And AIs just can't speak with them, also they flood the AI homesystem, so its just logical to attack them / defend against them.
