Barcelona Station

[Jinx]

thats the funny thing about player made lore...

sometimes it works well and is beneficial, sometimes its not, and sometimes it raises questions that only those that created the lore can answer.

generally - the fact that someone "has got" a technology - doesn t mean he can imitate it. it might be imported - and or purchased - while those that sold it might have kept a few secrets about the technology - to ensure that it ..... well.... cannot be copied.

in that case - those that manufactured the biodomes ( in case its not a genuine corsair developement ) gave them enough knowledge to have them maintain the structures well enough, but not so much to allow them to build them on their own ( hence - keeping a dependence )


i m currently not aware of the lore about the biodomes ( maybe you can copy the ID of the station here to review ) - but in fact.... the corsairs starvation is as much a main characteristic as the outcasts addiction to cardamine. take it away - and you take away the factions main stigma.

edit:

keep in mind that those characteristics are not random, nor purely detrimental for the factions. - outcasts for example have a very low reproduction rate - and a dependence on their drugs - making logistics harder for them, especially on longer campaigns, - but in return, they gain a longer life and above average human reactions and control of mind and body.

the corsairs are sitting on a bare rock with nothing more to eat than what they can buy for a high price from zoners or what they can steal. but that made them "tough" - and united them as a corsair nation. - it made them focus on what they "can" do - which is develope ships as tough as they are - and develope tactics and technology well above even liberty standards ( lore says - their ships fly like 20% faster than many others, which - if it was put into stats - is a huge thing, considering they also have the thickest armour of all ships )

while corsairs try to abandon starvation - it is one of those faction goals never to be achieved. its like saying "the order finally managed to get rid of the nomads for good" - a faction requires a goal that they can never achieve - or that can be replaced by an equal goal ( like if dragons managed to overthrow the kusari goverment, the roles "might" switch between the current kusari gov and the BD - however that is unlikely to ever happen )
