MAYBE THE GREATEST IDEA!

Of course, the greek are slightly covered by the corsairs, but as I said, I am writting this for fun. Plus, I feel the greek, who held so much cultural background, were heavily neglected when FL decided to merely merge them with the hispanic. The Greeks could have made one hell of an interesting faction by itself, with all its legends, myths and epic battles. A space-version of ancient Greece sounded fun to me.

Also I'd agree with a splited coalition houses. But then again, I dont really know what Igiss is planning or not for the mod.

The problem is that Freelancer is based on reasonably modern politics on a global scale. Generally, Greece has not been a major player in global politics in the past two or three hundred years, so should not have any major faction. Corsair and Zoner bases should cover it, right?

Plus, many of the major Greek places have been covered. Sparta is Zoner, as is Corinth and Corfu. Crete is Corsair, as is Alexandria (technically Macedonian, but near enough). All that's missing are the like of Athens and Troy. Not much point, really. There are other places that would be much better being covered, such as Italy (Outcasts aren't Italian, for the record).
