Nation War

Sixth week of hosting NW, and for me it was relatively smooth. A number of UIT players either lagged or crashed, an itani newb jumped back in because who likes reading the rules anyways, and the Serco dominion saw one of it's largest teams we have seen in a long while.

So I have a idea I think is better for a Pirate team in Nation Wars. Instead of calling it a "grey" team and that it's unaligned players. Why not just make it a pirate team and leave it as simple as that. If you join the Pirate team then you had better be a Pirate and not bitch about the rest of the week when you get your moth popped by nationalist players for being a pirate. It will allow the Pirates to have their own team, and keep the team to those who are really pirates (They know who is and isn't a pirate). It sounds like a better solution then the current -800 home fraction thing, and depending how it goes it may become an every week thing to hopefully even out having to switch up how NW is ran every week. I think the original purpose of the grey team was for pirates anyways, and if it wasn't its what it has become, so this would just simplify things.

In the end the Serco team dominated with 7 players surviving out of the 10 who started. They claimed the 20 Million Credit Prize, thanks goes to EMS for donating.

Basic Rules
Only those who are on-time are allowed to participate.
Participants must be on their nation's team regardless of fraction standing unless a Pirate team is allowed that week and you are a RP pirate.
Group leaders will receive a msg from the host letting them know what sector NW is in, and will have to convey it to their groups.
You may not start fighting until the host signals the start of the battle - this includes the 15 minute period prior to the planned starting time.
You may not return to the battle sector after you have left except to observe from a healthy distance in a bus.
No running from the asteroid field.
The last team standing wins.

For the people who dislike having a grey team, having a pirate team isn't going to be any better. It's still role-based, and if you're going to do it, then you may as well have an anti-pirate team, a trader team, a miner team, etc... This will all be moot when/if the devs make a player-joinable grey faction, but until then you should either have a nation war with teams based solely on the official nation/color of the character, or host a completely different RP-based event instead.

Stop whining and get back to the game.

instead of complaining EVERY WEEK that "There's no Gray Team" or "Pirates are no Nation" vs "We are pirates, not citizens", we all should put pressure in requesting a 4th playable faction....

Anything from creating a whole new faction to start with, to a simple mission that changes your native color to Black/Gray/Pink/Near-Infrared/whatever. (Infrared is the best color for 4th faction... IR ftw)

OR the automation tools for events, as mission-based larger teams for temporary IFF alignments.

Simply overcome the differences toward a common goal, then discuss details on its implementation. And anything done can be changed or even undone...

Gratz to the Serco on the strong turnout.

We request, but as far as you know, devs don't want to change player's alignement to 4th nation even for money.

Pirren, if we get enough players to support any one idea, no doubt Devs will prioritize it...

I'm willing to wait until they overhaul the entire faction system, which would be a more appropriate time to add faction changing and unalignment anyway.

What I would rather see happen ASAP is an increase to the group limit.
