enemy factions and ideas

Jan 10, 2005 Temporalis link
Ok, i'm serco, i have been admired and KOS by the itani, admired is useful as i get access to itani special ships, but it's not practical as i am an avid ctc'er.

I suggest that just having good factions all around (with the exception of UIT) meaning itani admired by serco and vice versa, should have it's consequences and bonuses, not just bonuses...

Bonuses : getting opposition special ships and being able to trade freely, be protected in enemy space etc.

Consequences : I believe that the serco government would think a serco admired by the itani a spy, traitor, whatever, and should withhold some technology from them.

Which bring me on to
Other Bonuses : Serco admired by serco and KOS by itani(and Vice versa) should get access to other technology/ships, as a true patriot to his/her/it's nation.

I think this needs work and thought, as i just write what i think at the time :) A suggestion which makes the game more Warlike though :)

Temp.

although i've not thought about UIT, maybe if they picked a side, they too would gain technology (n3's?)... i know many uit who have sides, mr_spuck for serco, Dubh for itani etc, and some who are content with the trading/mining/bounty hunting side of things...

We have hit on this one lots.

I agree, a serco with positive itani standing should be considered a threat, or take a faction loss.

However, a true serco/itani should have more benefits from said nations.

UIT = neutral, if they decide to take part in one nations conflict, they should be awarded the same, if not simaler *prize*

Maybe the consequence for having Admired with Itani should be removed if you also have +1000 Serco? It's definitely not easy to get, and it would add a reason to do so.

I think that Itani and Serco standing should be mutually exclusive, as one side's definitely going to take notice if you start getting friendly with the other. If they're both at war, it shouldn't be possible for anyone to be admired by them both at the same time.

i think having both factions should be allowed, but there has got to be in-game consequences/bonuses for being a patriot/liked by all/complete traitor.

As yet, people get opposition faction because it allows you more docks/ships/safe areas etc...

Why should avid ctc'ers roleplaying the patriotic soldier who hates the enemy be punished for it? punished by lack of access to enemy stations, lack of access to enemy ships, actively seeked out and destroyed by the bounty hunters/strike forces etc.

Yeah it's more fun roleplaying, but gives me nothing back but a few ctc scores.

maybe if only the ctc participants gained access to the n3's (or something better) n3's are old and nerfed/bugged. might give people more incentive....

I don't know, rambling a bit...
Then again if i'm being punished for doing ctc and actively roleplaying creating a better atmosphere in the galaxy, then i may as well stop, no incentive to stay...
