' Wrote:What happened in Bretonian space when the LT-Corsairs started their invasions of Cambridge and New London? The Mandalorans, S/D Agency, and assorted Bretonian police and Navy forces gathered together and showed them that if you stuck your nose in, you were going to get it punched.
I'm NOT new to Role Playing or to Freelancer, but I am fairly new to multi-player.
I have one main BH character that has three ships available to him - a Manta, a Bomber, and a Gunship. Max is also a part of the S/D Agency, which I feel Athenian does an EXCELLENT job of running. (He's put a huge amount of effort into this, and it shows. Seriously - having a BH company (S/D), a trading company (APM) - and the RP for all of it shows the intent.) I submit that if you're not seeing BH players in fighters and bombers, then you're not seeing us in action.
With only a few exceptions, the S/D Agency doesn't even fly our gunships - and that's the biggest cap ship we have.
Classified - meaning that until we need such a thing, we're not even going to BUILD anything bigger than an Orca - and we don't have one of those in the faction. (I personally do for another character, but that's another RP story...)
This whole server is about Role Playing. This does not mean that in a PvP situation, if it arises, that you are going to be in a fair fight all of the time, or even SOME of the time. It may mean that you end up getting your butt kicked. It may mean that when you decide to undock from a planet that someone VERY large happens to be there. Welcome to combat, people. The reason he's called the enemy is that he's going to (make a mess of) your nice battle plans.
Sure, this is a game - but it's a game based on a reasonable (!) extrapolation of what could happen. Those of us who have or had military experience know that there is, or never should be, anything remotely like a fair fight. You should be going into combat expecting to either kick the living snot out of the other guy - or expecting that you're going to get smeared so badly that it's not even funny - and hopefully if you've planned properly, you'll be in the first group.
Bounty Hunters as quasi-police, quasi-military, and quasi-mercenary. They're not officially police, because they don't work directly for the government. They work for pay. At the same time, in Sirius Universe terms, as a guild there are some organizations that are KoS. Everything else is subject to negotiation.
In other words - guess what? If you as a Corsair or Hessian - or anyone else EXCEPT the Belligerent - if we see you in Liberty or Bretonian space, we'll fight you for the bounty. If we see you in the Omegas, we'll be HAPPY to just wave and say hi, because there's NOTHING IN IT for us. We don't like you, and we'll cheerfully kill you if we're getting paid for it - but out in the boonies - live and let live.
very well said buddy
Ive had enough of disco for now. I might be back at the next mod release.
