If we are asked to fire on one of our own we will not comply. We may face disciplinary action, but the promise of peace far outweighs any consequences that may come from the act.
We still have freedom to choose, but it is limited.
If a LN/PKN player is ordered to fire on a Gallian/PKN Player, neither will comply with the order to open fire.
That is part of my point IRP those characters won't remain in their chosen factions long and will end up with Intelligence factions / order investigating them and eventually determining that they are infected and to be destroyed. ORP it will simply disrupt gameplay and infuriate players, eg. LN1 (one of yours) and LN2 engage GRN1 (also one of yours) LN2 is being stomped and constantly asking why LN1 is just sitting there watching.
But as I said already you either have individual diplomacy or faction diplomacy not both.
Hence what I said in the OP, we are an organized group, NOT a faction.
I'm posting it here in this part of the forums to make it official.
There is no faction diplomacy. There is, however, individual diplomacy.
Also, we may be infected, but are we hostile? That is the question that must be asked.
Infected does not necessarily mean hostile.
You're using "organised group" instead of faction to try and avoid the limitations of factions and you will find it just doesn't work that way. Beating my head against a brick wall isn't my idea of fun so I will leave you with this the only time red equals dead in disco is in regards to nomads.
And I counter with this:
Unless said Nomad is also a member of a non-Nomad force.
If so, red doesn't equal dead. It equals "Stop and think if we really want war with Liberty/Rheinland/Bretonia/Kusari."
Again, I am not proposing this as a faction. Not in the slightest.
Just as an aside, this is also why the PKNs are PvE-oriented. If we want to, we can join PvP actions, primarily against other Nomad groups that aren't so friendly towards the others in the Sirius sector, but again, our focus is on RP and PvE.
It is also why we intend on using both capital ships and snubcraft. If any Order members are brave enough to attack a non-PvP character in snubcraft or capships, they will be responded to with capships.
I don't think your average fighter pilot is going to be brave enough to fight two or more battleships or carriers on his own.
That and by engaging a PvE-only character, you essentially broke a server rule.
That said, I need to edit my OP so that this is cleared up.
