i have gotten alot of complaints and for good reason i have sorted most of them out. i was told to post the RP of the group. so here it is...
Not to long ago there was a system of planets called draconic. This system was home to some of the most advance peoples of the galaxy. Full of inventors and writers and most of all ship builders. They did not like to fight so they had very few war-ready ships, the ones they had were small and for keeping the peace when necessary. But some of the other systems feared their potential if they decided to fight. Among those were the corsairs.
One quiet day on the central planet of draconia. People started hearing rumors of the outer territories being attacked. There were ships sent to investigate none returned in the amount of time that was given, nor where there any transmissions back to draconia. People started getting worried of what was to be of their planet…
One week from the initial rumors the unknown force attacked the central planet of draconia. Then it became clear that it was the corsairs attacking them. Some managed to get away but the whole system had been destroyed. The survivors of the attack never spoke of their planet again in fear of corsair spys overhearing them. The survivors became outcasts and ended up in the omicrons, mainly omicron alpha. But they soon found out that it was already inhabited by other outcasts with a different story to tell about how they came to be.
Now the survivors of the brutal attack are wanting revenge on the ones who took all that they cared about and built…
questions. comments. constructive criticism... i will post charachter bios and other information at a later time
Well, mate, I'll be blunt. It's generic and very, very vague. I came up with something similar to this a long time ago; it was much, much more developed, and even then it failed. This kind of Roleplay doesn't work, mainly because it just doesn't fit Freelancer's universe. You're talking here about an entirely new segment of planets; imagine making a whole new sector of Discovery, ten, twelve systems. It won't happen, and it can't be effectively Roleplayed. Believe me, I've tried.
What's worse, you're trying to create another Outcast faction. We already have three, mate, and the chain of command is none too clear; our pilots, in general, are much better than the Corsairs, but there are fewer of us; we just get swarmed by twice as many Corsairs as there are Outcasts, and the only thing that keeps us alive is our organization and superior skill. With three factions it's difficult to rally all the forces and get hem moving in the same direction as if there were only one; adding a fourth would be suicide. So, in addition to having a void Roleplay, you'd be destroying your friendly NPC factions' position.
So, what can you do? Pick a different faction, maybe Bundschuh or Farmer's Alliance. If you still want to be Outcasts, join the RoS. They'll teach you how to Roleplay to the point where you can come up with something workable.

Gonna agree with Eppy here, as he made all the points I would of made and more. Try looking around for something that would fit in with the current roleplay, not make something new and then try to make us accept it. And Outcasts as well? We have to many Outcast and Corsair factions, maybe trying something that hasn't been done before?
to correct a little thing that i read. there wouldnt be any need for creating another system. as their system was destroyed and forgotten. and what is the 3rd faction? i have only seen yours and the RoS. i do understand the difficulty of creating a whole no part of the chain of command, i certainly would not want to do such a thing. i currently have 4 people under my belt one of which is inactive at this time due to some complications. i will talk to them and see which route they want to go.
if they want to go join another OC faction for the time being or go off and try to create a faction...(personally i dont think that will work). i will join you and gain some more experience in FL RP as i am used to D&D. not much help in this type of game.

You were talking about these people's 'territories' being attacked and destroyed. This means that they controlled multiple star systems. That would be considered a seventh House (The Outcasts and Corsairs being the respective fifth and sixth). A House of that size doesn't go unnoticed; it has to engage in trade, probably have a few wars, and in general have a widespread influence. People would know about them.

Sounds good. Take the initiative, mate. Browse through the Discovery RP Factions forum and find the Reapers of Sirius recruitment thread and see if they'll take you.
Quote:and what is the 3rd faction?
That would be the Blue Lotus Syndicate, or [BLS]. They're primarily smugglers, and they operate more in Kusari than the Omicrons.

The rp story is good, needs a fresh idea or 2, and more fleshing out. Get it good enough, and you could start a squad in the RoS. We operate serveral squads with different RP backgrounds.

Hmm thats pretty insulting eppy.
TBH have just as many great pilots as the Outcasts .. You won one Friday night battle and a raid into Gamma the otherday (that I heard you outnumbered Corsairs 2-1) and all of a sudden your superior to all Corsair pilots?.
Your Ego is getting as big as Dabs and thats one hard feat to archive! ...:P
Anyway on topic ... Another faction thats not from Freelancer origin's? not really needed I believe.
Also whats with all the fancy stuff around the tag? ^~DS~^ is it really necessary?.
We don't really need another "Outside of Sirius" faction. We gots the CR, CYLONS, and RoS (just off the top of my head) and even with those 3 all of them have something to do with "Old Earth". (Juan is that <-- even remotly correct punctuation?)
OCs don't really need another faction either. You guys would have to specialize in some area.
I guess I just don't see the point of this faction...
I have to agree with Equinox on that point being insulting a bit.
I have fought some Corsairs few days back in my Sabre, and I managed to kill 3,4 of them in each fight.
I was fighting alone, by the way.
One of the fights was against 4 TBH, 3 fell down and the last one killed me, due to my thruster loss.
Now, this isn't bragging, trust me, I'm not that good. This is laughing.
Not to the TBH pilots, not at all.
But to their ships. Titan is a big ass target that can be hit from each and every side, no matter how hard he tries to dodge.
Plus, if you are using Krakens.. What can i say.
I was flying a Titan for a very long time, and it requires MUCH more skill then flying a Sabe.
Everyone who ever flied both will most probably agree with me.
I was killed so many times in my Titan that i became desperate.
The fact is, only thing that Titan is really good for is Pirating.
For fighting it is bellow average.
For mass fighting (like you have in Eta on Fridays) it's HORRIBLE.
It doesn't stand a chance, simply put.
With same pilot skills, 3 Sabres should win the fight against 6 Titans easily.
That's how i see the balance between these 2 ships.
Anyway, on topic, as long as you are not trying to become official, you are okay.
Once you want to become official, your story will need a lot of work.
Mainly because, as Eppy said, it couldn't go unnoticed.
Now, if you came from some distant universe, chased by weird robots who destroyed your homeland..
