I know of DTA. I have fought against them many times.
They are very skilled fighters and their main advantage was numbers.....
They also cruised away and re-engaged many many times. You can not do that here.
If you are that calibre, really....start a Xenos clan... slightly change RP ( to clense sirius of tyranny and opression one system at a time). Like a Xenos Guard May be. remember, all major wars started with parties defending their own territories. That defense always converts to offense.
Your bombers and eagles will be unstoppable. ands show me where the signup sheet is.\
A word to the wise of Disco, time to make allegions. If they are anything like DTA, Corsairs and Outcasts will have to join hand s to keep this group under control.
well some of them might just be DTA lol...not sure how that would be received so i won't say. Our biggest issue will be when to use bots lol I never carry them.
Didn't DTA get banned from Void though?
Yeh DTA got banned from Void. they shut the server down lol nobody could sell a lolly pop, you guys here got a big influx of players as a result of it. so Strail had to do something about it.
Sign Up sheet just send me a PM.. you will know about 5 of us as we have already been here... just not in uniform or force.
Well, if you guys are as good as you claim to be, I'm dead meat..I'm only an average/below-average freelancer fighterjock..My strength lies in gunboats....Mostly made my Xenos for stress relief and RP...But the RP goes out the window when your Eagle gets chased by several capital ships.
Anywho. Hessians are a good choice, but already have a semi-active faction. Xenos are another good choice as they fit what you want and don't have any factions currently (But have three groups I'm aware of--Prospector's group, Colorado blazers and Serpentis).

lol SCRA are the best pilots in Diso.... so to speak...
If TRIAD besome Red hessians it will be fun to see some uber skillz fights.
Heck I'd pay to see them.
Couple of things I see going against you...
1. Since you cant run you will have to keep engaging till one person is dead.
2. Disco is busier than the Void. So if you start a fight in a system, you will be soon overwhelmed as other fighters keep joining in. You engage cruise, you are considered dead. Means, eventually some one will claim your death. And you can not reengage for 4 hours with that guy.
Personally, and from a server balance point of view, I'm not so happy about it. We are well aware of Void's
situation, and the influx here ...
What we don't want is a repeat of the last time Void shut down. We didn't just get the members here, what
we actually got was the attitude as well. I wish to make it quite clear this is Discovery, not Void ... And again
lines like "We were 8 and 0" doesn't inspire confidence in your ability to roleplay, just to blow crap up ...

well tactically we are at a disadvantage as we are not used to the higher weapon refire rates, bullet speed, weapon configs and limitations. The ships axis is different throughing off the expected aim, you guys use nannos and bots. We have much to learn from you guys, we will concentrate on training with the new goodies this server has to offer and build relationships with the people of discovery for a month or so.
We will also have to learn to pilot capital ships as thats something totally new to 80% of us.
HOODLUM:
I don't have any challenges anymore.. I don't have to prove my self to any freelancer. Every member of TRIAD has made a name from himself somewhere. Yes we're good at blowing stuff up, but we are self controlled and calculating, there is no way we would be here to waist our time if we didn't have the intention to RP. We are not kids just jumping on a server, we are not here because of Void loosing players, actually their gaining players because of the new mod. We have members there and our base we maintain. The ones that are there we didn't bring because they couldn't handle this. I'm tired of every time someone has to gauge their skill they have to come after me. I'm tired of fighting 5 on 1 because I'm the biggest threat so human nature takes over. The members here want to enjoy freelancer for what it is, not some chicken fight with everyone fighting over 1 system.
Will TRIAD bring an element of competition for the major clans.....yes....will we break rules...no...so I don't see an issue. Your influx came a month ago after the war we had..with ORION, 4S, ESF, Darcia and others.. they lost the war, and some came here. That had nothing to do with Void as a server and neither do we.
Pip.. they "were" arguably the best pilots, and then most of them left for various reasons.
Caps. Flying capital ships is like flying a massive fighter (apart from a battleship, because it has no thruster). Gunboats are fairly easy going as far as capship flying is concerned. Cruisers are harder, and in my opinion, not properly balanced, as they have trouble against... well.. everything. But they do have their uses...
Hood is right though, the last time the Void server shut down, it all went to hell in a handbasket here. That event has had an incalculable bearing on the strictness of the rules in place here, which were mainly tightened up because of that.
But, as mentioned earlier, the way you are introducing your faction here, like this, is exactly what we wish every other one would do when they came here. It would be great if more people did what you did, not just go ahead and bring lots of people with a random tag on to the server. I commend you for the decision to post your introduction.
Nothing against RP-PVP at all. As has been said PVP for just the sake of it will not be tolerated here but if it's within your RP to tackle an enemy then go for it! If you go the way of the Hessian restrict yourself to the Hessian ZOI and at the end of the day have fun!
Your last post has encouraged me, Cobra. I was a bit worried...you have to understand some of what we've had here in recent months. As soon as somebody says they came from a PvP server, the automatic assumption - that they're here to PvP, not RP - is not only easy to make, but usually right.
I like what you're doing. Flying around, getting to know peoples' RP. Keep at it, ask some questions in-game if you're not sure, and read some of the RP in the forums. Particularly the message dumps, which detail day-to-day activities. Then, decide where your preferences lead. If you go Hessian, though, don't do it to engage the RM. The RHA actually actively avoids contact with the RM, choosing instead to concentrate on bounty hunters, traders, and Corsairs...and there's still never a shortage of things to do within our ZoI.
