Freelancers Guild?

[Dormat1]

I just got back to the states and just downloaded 4.85, I guess my accounts have been deleted (been deployed the last 180 days) so I figured I would start fresh. In this new edition, are there any TRUE freelancer guilds?

I'm talking about a guild that lets you (the pilot) be friendly or hostile to whoever, let you trade with whoever and doesn't penalize you for doing buisness with "the enemy". Is there any faction like that?

The closest to that would be the junkers. But there is no faction without limitations.

Roleplay comes first, enjoyment follows second if you succeeded in the first.


Edit: perhaps this should be "moved" to the general discussions?

You could go about tagged and ID'd as a Freelancer.

You're free to set your diplomacy however you want; just don't use equipment from two opposing sides and you're good to go.

I thought the point of being a freelancer was that you weren't part of a group?

I dunno, I must have a warped view.

*sigh* Yeah, the only REAL example of a dynamic diplomacy in Disco. Sadly, everyone here thinks that everything must be set in stone until the next version.:dry:

I had a concept for a guild of freelancers, along the lines of a slightly less violent BHG.

Basically, you could go to the guild for whatever you wanted done, and they'd send along whoever was interested in the job; if you want a distraction for your Cardamine convoy, you could call the Guild and they'd find someone of dubious ethics willing to do it.

People who want a freelancer to do a job for them would have an advantage in doing so, as a guild would have more resources than a single freelancer, and the freelancers that joined would still be more or less autonomous.

Some people become freelancers for the freedom. Some just don't want to do the same job all their lives.

There's some tricky details to think about, but conceptually it could work.

In a lot of situations, sure. But sometimes, they may just not want to be bogged down with the responsibilities of a group. But if the group was there for other purposes - health care (Freelancers DO get shot a lot), retirement plans, and a system of making it easier to find jobs, it may be different.
