Starfleet: Sirius Sector

[CaptainAlamo]

I am a die hard star trek fan. Having said that, it seems that all and any attempts to meld, merge, assimilate and combine the trek with freelancer meets utter and absolute failure. It does have a tendency to draw in hard core fans of the genre like myself. I have seen quite a few proposals for trek influence factions, systems, locations, mods and etc...But unfortunately it is rarely able to make any head way. Star Trek has star trek online..and we all know, it sucks really bad. If only they had been smart and done it FL style, but they didnt. But thats the beauty of FL and DFL, in that it is similar, yet unique to its own factions, histories, and circumstances. Your best bet is to take all of that trek knowledge and experience and cut loose the enterprise while in FL mode, and simply draw from that knowledge base to bolster your FL abilities and own unique game play experience. For instance, i was able to escape an ambush recently from players of an enemy faction using a cloak. It is not exactly like in ST but you will find that embracing the way FL does its own thing presents new tactics to consider, and new challenges to overcome in the space combat world. It also requires a lot of time in and hard work and figuring out the ins and outs of this particular lay out.

It also doesnt seem like you read the rules on faction creation, it requires a lot more information and credits to get started, and would require the use of an already existing NPC faction ID, as in, you'd have to link your new faction though an NPC one. Don't be too discouraged, not saying this is impossible but it will take a bit more time and research to get it right! keep playing and learning about everything FL and in particular the environment that is Sirius, and you'll realize it is its own form of star trekking that is wonderful unto itself!
