Core| - The Core Feedback and Announcement Thread

Everything that isn' that isn't in Core's plan is "illogical" to you, Lyth. Get over it.

Core capturing Yaren from Corsairs: lengthy year-long process extensively roleplaying the resupply and reconstruction of the fleet to recuperate their losses from Minor in preparation to shove the Corsairs out of Delta.
Order capturing Dabadoru from Core: (literally on the day of the event) hurr durr we have a secret fleet in our oorp guard system this entire that no one knew about.

Core in Delta: has asserted dominance over Iridium as a resource, colonized Nauru, pushed Zoners into closer co-operation with Core (and Shiki almost made them hostile to Order, if not for admin intervention), successfully invited Corporations into Delta to establish a presence, and is largely considered the authority in Delta.
Order in Delta: Deploys it's ships away from it's own territory to capture a station in the heart of Core territory, supply lines completely cut off by Core and Nomads, both in Delta and Minor, Rho and Kappa (there's even infocards suggesting this), effectively caught in a spider's web in the Kiribati field with enemies all around.

You can't argue that Order taking and thereafter maintaining control of Dabadoru makes roleplay sense. From what I recall was a last-minute (and tbh, unnecessary) roleplay development addition to the Yaren event, purely for the sake of repeating the old Disco cliche of factions equalizing and not permanently gaining/losing things for the sake of keeping things static. Yeah sure, you can try and phrase that it makes sense from a gameplay perspective - if Order et all actually used it actively over Freeport 11. To be fair I think I've seen Coalition and Bundschuh use Dabadoru more to dock at than Order.

Either way, personally I think it's very silly that Core within Delta has made all these great strides and the Dabadoru problem has still been unanswered for years with no logical answer as to why other than a lack of developer involvement in progressing the regional story.
