"Elite factions"

[Akura]

Hmm, on the one hand, we shouldn't understand the Nomads anyway, so their background warrants a no-rp basis in the server.

On the other hand, it will make the Nomads a 'pew-pew' only faction, and lose what credibility they may or may not have. I wouldn't know.

Its a difficult balance.

People want the Nomads to be evil and shoot everything, but they also want the Nomads to have the same tech as everyone else and follow the same standards as everyone else. This is why Nomad Talk was invented.


You can't make a faction hostile to every other faction in the mod and give them normal tech either, this is the reason the Keepers are too small and mostly dead and inactive, no one can be bothered to play them when everyone shoots at you on sight and the tech is probably getting nerfed next version.

If you think that -you- own the faction, maybe you should make your own mod and server and play there. As long as there is content on Discovery GC 24/7, it should be available to everyone. By content I mean Faction reps, ships and bases. Keepers will always make a special case due to their nature, that cannot be balanced for broad use.

Actually, the Keepers can be opened for use, I came up with a perfectly reasonable and possible solution, without needing a new mod update, but the the Keepers weren't having it.
