Nyx, the IMG fighter,

[Jinx]

like it was said - soon you ll be able to raise CR faction and buy it.

while i do agree that its questionable to get it in terms of hard RP. - i m not 100% sure about server rules there. - the CR might have gotten a NPC faction now to set them apart from the years long parent faction IMG, - but claiming their own ships, restricting them to others is another thing.

it works for capital warships, cause - after all, they still got another status... but a fighter is another issue.

the IMG is a loose confederation of independent miners - hard workers that would be considered to be on the civilian side. - strong for sure - like a powerful union, but still civilian.


but then - i m not in favour of a very restricive gameplay. - restricting stuff is always nice - if you re the one restricting. it sets one apart, makes one special. - the more restricted your gear - the more special you are. - thats an artificial way to stay "above" others. ( or to say it in a more pessimistic tone.... to keep others below you )

in rare cases, it makes perfect sense ( like the blood dragon ) - in others, it feels strange. - can t figure out if its strange or OK in the nyx case yet.

fact is - everyone wants something special, everyone wants to be someone special in a gamesetting that technically allows you to copy another person. the way to go is to find a compromise between a restrictive gameplay and fun for everyone ( as opposed to fun for only oneself .... )

making any IMG IDed / tagged player buy and use it works OK. - but i d not very much like it if the CR ( which i consider one of the best factions, simply cause it has been one of the very most consistant and permanently above average factions for all the time i ve been on disco ) claimed it for itself alone.

some time in the future maybe - but we ll need to let it sink that the IMG is not the CR anymore - and that the CR took a majority of the IMGs equipment with them.

that would be a precident for a rift within one faction. - the CR took the battleship ( formerly zoner ) a battlecruiser ( formerly IMG ) and a VHF ( formerly ... i don t know... wasn t it zoner, too? ... zoners were the cesspit of all generic ships sort of )

or in short - i wouldn t really press on a restrictive gameplay much. - have the two factions evolve and restrict out of the evolving gameplay - don t have the gameplay be determined by a preemptive restriction.
