Interspace - What To Do...

[sovereign]

The idea of Interspace acting like zoners in suits in game kind of chews out the parts of the faction that are interesting though

Zoners never bought not one, but two Houses. Although from the way they've developed in Disco you wonder if that'll change...

IC never built Juggernauts (though from Vanilla, I was under the impression the Zoners never did either) and ran away from the houses in the name of freedom and fellowship like a bunch of space hippies.

But I see your point. Ingame, a Zoner trader is pretty much just a trader with a Zoner repsheet. Then again, ingame an Ageira trader is pretty much a trader with an Ageira repsheet- the neat research stuff they do happens on the forums or otherwise out of the game, unless you negotiate contracts ingame (which everyone else can do too).

To me, the interesting and distinct part of corporations lies in only three things:
1) How they deal with pirates
2) How they deal with lawfolk
3) What they do on the forums with contracts, stories, etc

While the IND respond to all three by buying whatever they want and placing money on the heads of those who won't accept it, IC is pretty regular in the first 2. The Lane Hackers don't like them, but the Lane Hackers don't like Ageira either. They have reasonably neutral status in all the houses, but so do the Zoners (the ones not parading around in warships, at least). What separates them is not what they do ingame, but what they do outside of it and how that colors things. Cryer can't do research ingame, can it? Same idea.
