Terrorist Factions

[Dogwarrior]

I think making a terrorist-like ID for an organization in each house would be good. It would basically be as most people here have said; Xenos for Liberty, Gaians for Bretonia, Farmers Alliance or Blood Dragons for Kusari (I'd say Blood Dragons, as they are trying to get the true Shogun's descendants back in power and remove the corruption from Kusari), and Bundschuh for Rheinland. Of course, the Blood Dragons have cruisers, which shouldn't be available to terrorists, which is why I think Farmer's alliance could be the Kusari terrorists instead.

So if this were implemented I'd say it would be best if the 4 house's terrorist factions were restricted to bombers/fighters/freighters (There are some pseudo-gunboats available like the Turanic Raider's Freighter) so we don't just have a bunch of people grabbing those alignments so they can run around in capships and kill everything in sight. But I do think that the Blood Dragon/Farmer's Alliance and Gaian IDs should still allow piracy. Xenos don't pirate, and Bundshchuh are funded by 'New Berlin Scholars' (basically from a trader char), but Blood Dragons, Farmer's Alliance, and Gaians have to fund themselves via piracy (could be wrong in the FA/Gaian cases) because they don't have those kind of supporters backing them.

The difference between these 4 and the Red Hessiens/Unioners is that they don't pirate, or simply pirate enough to fund their terrorist activities. Red Hessiens and Unioners are now just pure pirates, out for greed and cash. This is even explained in a rumor or News on Bruchsal (Bundschuh base) in the Red Hessien's case, and is the reason why the Hessiens and Bundschuh are no longer as 'close' as they once were.

That would be a great Idea and my clan would be able to play as just another faction instead of a pirate faction

however - it says in the gaian Id, that "today, most gaians are just ordinary criminals" - so, take into account that the original idea of the faction and their state of being today may vary. there are still those descendants from cambridge institute of research within the gaians that fight for the ideology of symbiosis of man and nature, but a lot of the todays gaians are simply criminals, that make a living under the cloak of gaians.

no idea about the other quasi terrorists.

Mollys could actually take the Gaian's place. Not many realize that Mollys are anything but gold pirates. The Mmollys are fighting the Bretonians, because when Bretonia owned the base they worked the miners hard. The revolted, and ow they want to get Dublin to be Molly-owned only. Basically they want a revolution that gives them Dublin where they can govern themselves.

They still act like criminals though, much like the IRA in the UK's criminal elements.

Yes, but its mostly to fund their activities. They can't sell their gold on the lawful markets, and most pirates have little use for gold (as reflected in the prices on pirate stations), so they can't finance themselves like lawful organizations.

In case of Kusari, remind to the rumors. Somewhen you get the information about the difference between Kusari criminals and criminals of other houses. Kusari criminals are almost political motivated.
Means, a Pirate ID does not fit with Kusari criminals really.

Farmers Alliance are financed by Samura.
says so in rumors on Kyoto and Ainu.

dunno about bretonia....Mollies aren't terrorists, they are a full blown rebellion.
and....Gaians....it stings my heart to hear they are just petty criminals.
