Proposed BAF Subfaction : for Comments

[Guest]

I was part of it during the days Niezck & Simsonator were running it, however I went AWOL after a week of doing it. Still the stuff I did whilst I was here was quite fun.

/Stamp of approval from someone nobody knows.....

PS:If I told you my characters name I'd have to kill you....
PSS: If you read this message I'm afraid I will also have to kill you

EDIT: Forgot to mention it could make for some interesting RPing if any of the agents was ever discovered operating in a foreign territory

I like it. Still NI5 needs some more/another functions 'cause they're really too similar to BAF. The point "Dealing with Internal Piracy".. we already have two organisations which trying to deal with piracy. Why do we need the third one?

We surely need to have that MI5, but we shouldn't do them the same what BAF and BPA currently is. Maybe just give them less number of functions, like just protecting VIPs or something like that.

Truly i doesn't see much sense in different Security Services in Freelancer at all. Especially with such restricted IDs.

Please explain how MI6 would work, would they be unaffiliated characters listed on a database somewhere in your forum that just RP that they work for Bretonia intelligence or would they have it in there tag somewhere?

MI5 could focus on protecting VIP's as Gonta said also perhaps they could so some research based on the pirates and other crimal organisations working within Bretonia.

Not sure we could list them, or they wouldnt be very secret..

Likely we would just list the players with MI6 Characters.

Right

I do agree their role has to be redefined to be less BPA-ish

If you wish then, suggest a more suitable description in that paragraph. I kinda agree.

Well, hate to say it, but I think MI5 is redundant. Nix it. The only exception would be for VIP protective services, but that's hardly ever RP'd.

The other (MI6) is definitely unique and would have a distinctive role.

Edit: Oops, sorry for being redundant with what others have said.

Whilst MI5 concentrates more on internal security, they should be working outside of the core Bretonian systems, the Tau's, Omegas, Omicrons and independent systems ( cortez,magellan). gathering info and warning BAF and BPA of imminant attacks from the bad guys and approaching smuggelers. They are tagged (gaurd iff as well so more or less in your face) and would be seen as the first line of defense and intelligence.

MI6, on the other hand, work behind the scenes in almost any other system you care to mention. Working closely with BAF ( since MI6 is the military arm of intelligence gathering and other dirty low down stuff:)) and the Priveteers to fullfill thier mission, whatever it may be.

This is how i see this working. The opportunities for some really good rp is boundless.

What we did -

Gather intel (we had a pretty huge database of gun stats, ship stats, known KNF ships, loadouts, base locations, system maps etc)

Sabotage convoys (or point the privateers to them).

Interdict certain key trade/persons (or, as above, point the privateers to them)

[Stratus]

Great Idea, I remember a few years ago the SF had the SFI tag, but I can't remember that ever really being used in covert operations.

This idea has my full support, sign me up.

Edit: Wow, just missed my 2 year anniversary of Disco/BAF! :angry:

Stratus!

Play more!

Also, I will reword MI5 somehow
