I could see a special operative ID working - but it has to go with a tag, and there's still no tag that fits.
Terrorist ID maybe, but the admins arent going to hand me one of those, plus it doesnt let me work with lawfuls - where my main goal is going to be diplomacy with groups around sirius.
As far as the ship, perhaps I could model my own and see if it gets accepted, like the necrosis or tundra...

' Wrote:Thing is, I'm not trying to hide it - the whole point of the character is to force Sirius organizations to see that there's something larger than them at work, and that their petty little wars and rivalries are nothing compared to the empires in the galaxy that have been clashing against one another for aeons.
Just a point, but Sirius is a galaxy. If there's massive alien wars going on in this galaxy, then they're doing a very good job of not being particularly noticeable. I take it this is an intergalactic war?
Jammi:
Sirius is a star system in real life.
In Freelancer it's a sector.
IE, an area within a galaxy.
Not an entire galaxy. It would be an extremely oddly shaped one if it was too:P
I would go perhaps with Harvester Cruiser (work your RP so that the AI part is missing and the aliens are residing inside/ controlling the AI). Order Recon Vessel is also an option; to me it looks sufficiently 'alieny'.
For ID perhaps go for perhaps Vigilante or Merc? except I am unsure whether those allow cruisers. IFF probably freelancer, since all guard factions hate them.
As a side note: If you go for Scorpion Gunboat with Freelancer IFF, that would get people's attention REALLY fast and reveal that you are not what you seem to be.
I'm working on a model for the ship, with any luck (or enough support, hint hint) I can get it accepted as a unique ship like the necrosis or tundra. I suppose maybe a special operative ID with freelancer tag might work...
Just a question concerning your planned RP: Did you already come up with a background for this mysterious race that is losing against the C'tan? I didn't check Aki's background, but before you start a special RP request this should be done first. Another alien race might be very confusing for other players and I believe that you would receive a lot of "what a lunatic" responses from other characters. I doubt that many would really listen to your story concerning their given RP situation: Sirius is basically at war with itself. Most people wouldn't have an ear for stuff like a galaxy-wide war. However, I do like your idea. It's just hard to imagine it working ingame.
I want your feedback! Feel free to tell me your opinion on stories and RP here.
