The Collective - Faction Information and Feedback

[Lythrilux]

Remember the attacks on Invicta? That was true organisation. *Spams LOG.TXT into chat*

It was a play on words, since we shoot people called The Order

Guess I had better find someone who can teach me how to use a ship to fight since RP won't work. Tried it...it failed. *shrugs*

Or, hire your local transhumanist mercenaries to translate beep boop.

Sorry. I promised to fly with you guys more, but I've been fairly focused on Aux and other things. I actually haven't been active as often on the forums due to RL, either.

Thanks for flying with us in Delta. I'm looking forward to a more RP-centric encounter in the future, as a basic joint patrol was a nice change of pace.

Like that'll work. A majority of people I run into want to "kill the toasters." That's never been my way but when one can't translate and the end result is gunfire, well, what next? I've vested too much time and effort to build what I have and flew all over to get the RP cargo that I have to lose it because of "misunderstanding."

Well, as already announced here are some feedback and questions.
I'll do the feedback with the basic pro's and con's.

Pro's
- Great staying power and presence in the Multiplex siege
- Solid and simple speech
- Good structured faction write up

Con's
- Write up contains huge Lore parts originially created for a PRIME concept, even the images are the same
- Ilogical motivation behind attacking Zoners and the pob, while sairs are left alone
- Solid and simple speech
- Shooting Zoners and constantly dock on a Zoner base is a bad move
- Ignoring and shooting away the chance to RP with THE human faction with AI relation only to take down the base

Questions
As being the leader of Æon C'bal I'm asking where do you see the differences between the Collective and other AI factions? In regards of Æon C'bal I can see you adopted a few goals and also the concept of the Frames to a certain degree.
Even mentioned in the faq. Still unclear to me. Why are other AI misstrusted?
What defines your friends or foes?


Guess for now it's enough. :-)

- Solid and simple speech

Saying that having "a simple speech system is bad" is a dumb critique, you don't need to overly complicate 'ai talk' by making it seem like coding. It doesn't make you look special, it just makes you look obnoxious and in most cases, not worth the effort. Everyone can make up their own speech, as long as it's understandable. From what I've seen, their speech works fine, it isn't riddled.

Also, Collective, from what I understand from today, you seem to regard Aux as either friendly or neutral or mixed? There were different answers, so just curious on that part.

That's why it is on pro's and con's...

Write up contains huge Lore parts originially created for a PRIME concept, even the images are the same

All lore is 100% custom written and I've not even looked at the Prime lore. The images are from the game "Stellaris".

Ilogical motivation behind attacking Zoners and the pob, while sairs are left alone

Sairs openly defended us and their caps left when demanded. Zoners did not and a big deal of our RP is locking down Kappa. I think we have done a good job to show that.

Solid and simple speech

Intentional and not a con, even slightly.

Shooting Zoners and constantly dock on a Zoner base is a bad move

No one docked when others were around it was done during organisation to switch ships and some people died in that state.

Ignoring and shooting away the chance to RP with THE human faction with AI relation only to take down the base

We stopped on numerous occasions and RP'ed our demands, reasoning, and intentions were made rather clear.

As being the leader of Æon C'bal I'm asking where do you see the differences between the Collective and other AI factions? In regards of Æon C'bal I can see you adopted a few goals and also the concept of the Frames to a certain degree.
Even mentioned in the faq. Still unclear to me. Why are other AI misstrusted?

The collective represent a new way of RP'ing AI to me. Over the years there have been many attempts to create AI factions and all have been made over complex. This faction is simple and easy to understand and has a RP heavy element, as well has a PvP focused side (if you want to view things from a simplistic angle).

No idea what you mean by frames, please do not compare our RP to your own when trying to explain it as it just creates unneeded confusion.

Also, Collective, from what I understand from today, you seem to regard Aux as either friendly or neutral or mixed? There were different answers, so just curious on that part.

A simple answer would be that Aux, from our interactions, as shown themselves to be friendly to the AI (or Collective specifically in our minds?) So you are held in higher regard than other factions.

What defines your friends or foes?

In game interactions.

Small note: sent from phone took ages ^^
