I remember the first cylons, fought them and saw their demise. Doubt anything else will happen this time, but please, toasters, prove me wrong. Try n' expand like we did and let's ultimately take over xD
Now seriously - BSG is established. I hear no more hot flames about its existence anymore, because we simply got entrenched, peple got used to the sight of a couple o' wackos flying vipers and battlestars. hell - we even got our OWN systems and have our OWN specific ships (really -I don't see many people from outside BSg flying colonial ships) We got that IMG roleplay - it's accepted and we fulfill it as much as its logically possible. Cylons... hmm... loved that fight with ya 2 on me alone and I still wrecked ya both xD
Snatch some unused tag, maybe try and go tagless (sometimes there's a bug which makes ya permanently tagless) and go for the generic pirate ID. should work...
Down with BSG... how about down with phantoms? Didn't see any in 1.0 how about down with AW? I believe I didn't see any barve defenders of Theta while flying there in 800AS, how about fnally down with Disco? For - it is NOT freelancer 2 - STRICTLY going after the storyline made up by Digital anvil. It's Discovery. A community of players who want to extend the original storyline of FL by adding something to it. BSg does. AW does, phantoms do, Helghast do (did?). So quit whining about what factions you don't like here and get used to seeing a wng of vipers flying around the taus every day. If ya don't like it - go to a 1.0 server.
A ton o' free flax to everyone (and a volley colonial flak shells to whoever doesn't want flax)
this is from their diplomacy
Hostile:
=BSG=
IMG
AW
Outcasts
Corsairs
TBH
Blood Dragons
Golden Crysanthimums
All Lawful house Military/Police
so when the bsg start kill blood dragons,the cylons are on side of bsg? because blood dragons are also enemies.and when cylons attack blood dragons they have also outcast as enemies.so from this diplomacy is noone neutral because half of unlawfull faction are friendly with corsair and other half tiwh outcast/blood dragons/GC. and all lawful are enemies.
so this is faction again all others in sirius,maybe only zoners can be neutral but AW as zoner faction is enemy to cylons.
so what rp can be here?alone again all? this diplomacy can not work i think.
Hmm, lemme think... An RP that would work for ya toasters is infiltration. You know how you managed to crack Baltar's CNP programming and making backdoors for viruses - you might try din the same with Sirius (as being computerized and unaware of a cylon threat) A story similar to the nomad one. BSG would then serve as the saviour. Normally - cylons would fly simple Sirius ships. For battles vs BS - they's dwitch toraiders and possibly that one hidden basestar (wish ya could get a good model implemented as a Wild battleship) Under cylon tags - your enemy would be all Sirius. as the untagged undercovers - only BSg (you'd need some specific detail in the cargo hold for colonial ships to identify... maybe a nomad brain or something)
If I remember correctly the BSG were originally named, the 'Colonial Remnant', which was much more fitting
and they had a slightly different premise when they started out here. A more peaceful one, as they had got
to a destination in their travels, away from attack. They only ever protected themselves ...
The shame of it was, it was hi-jacked, and the name changed to Battlestar Galactica, which is just an imported
television series, and to be honest, not so fitting in the Freelancer Universe.
You are the Independent Miners Guild, not a militaristic group of well armed warmongering soldiers. You ought
to be protecting your assets, not swanning around Sirius in battleships, attacking reputation board enemies far
from your home base systems. Back on topic now ...
So basically The Cylons fit in where ? On a point of the diplomacies, if you are hostile to the Outcasts, you get
the Hessians and Rogues against you. If you are Hostile to the Corsairs, you get the LWB, and the Farmers
Alliance against you as well. The Xenos wouldn't give a damn, as you based well away from them, and the
Zoners, well if you are bucking their engineered status quo, they probably wouldn't have much time for you
either. Thats the trouble with being aliens, no one likes you ... Look at the Nomads.
And why is one of the first questions, what capships can we use ?

Okay. Enough with the finger pointing and rock throwing. Give them a chance in game and see where it goes. Lots of factions started here, got flamed, made it through and are good RPers now. RoS, UoG, DW..the list goes on. They might get sanctioned, they might get warned...but that's growing pains.
I know it's not Freelancer-ish. If you want to say that...NONE of the non-house, non-corporation, non-pirate player factions belong here. You've got one finger pointing away from you and three more pointing back toward you (not including the thumb here guys).
As to the first Cylon Faction... It was the first faction I ever joined a year and a half ago. Xerxas Jade started it and there were only 3 of us. Me, Xerxas and Romer. It fizzled. It didn't work. Hell, I didn't even know what Cylons were, really. Just the fact that Xerxas was willing to let me in his faction... Maybe this one will work. Maybe not.
Get your story straight, your diplomacy set, your ID right and we'll see where it goes.
Yes Caylith, but many factions were also told "your idea is not FL, don't even try it" and they didn't, thankfully. Why is this severely non-FL faction awarded the opportunity when many others have not been allowed? Floodgates? Open? Double-standard? Where's this going to end up? I respect good RP and welcome it, but as said before, why bring more alien RP into Disco when there are plenty of FL-based RP holes ready to be filled?
"To gain a hundred victories in a hundred battles is not the highest excellence;
to subjugate the enemy's army without doing battle is the highest of excellence."
They go to the effort to create the Faction background, yet everyone (with perhaps the exception of that bloody neophile Yngen), and everyone acts like there's a bad smell in the room.
Google "ossification".
..or is it just that they've chosen ships you can't pawn in two seconds flat?
Meh.

But if they tried to be Nomads, you would be shouting holy hell,
the BSG has enough people to kill them, and as i have seen from all these posts.
Its Freelancer NOT BSG MOD, so lets see if you can work out something other than Cylons.
Just to clarify here. We are attempting to bring the Outcasts in as Neutral but they seem to be harboring some animosity and have labeled us Unfriendly. So we have no choice but to put them on the unfriendlys list for now. I'd like to set us up as Outcast allies set against the BSG and their Corsair allies. It makes sense.
It says in the faction page that all humans are our enemies. That is true to our RP. It is also not going to work here on Discovery so it has been modified. We will adopt a traditional Diplomacy setting like every other group. The Blood Dragons are hostile because they havent responded to us either. The Zoners don't mind if we're around and we won't interfere with them so they are neutral. We will defend ourselves but don't want to PVP it up. Always looking for friends in low places...
As for docking Gammu is our primary and all FreePorts have now opened up to us.
