Untapped Potential

Feb 07, 2005 johnhawl218 link
With the new Wiki website, it's painfully clear that the Aeolus, Ineubis, and Xang Xi Factions/Corps have been neglected. Or perhaps I am just in the dark. But it looks to me that they have no real use in game at the moment other then a refuel/repair and go stations, and exit points for CtC. Is this all they are going to have? Is there no reason to increase faction with this factions? I would suggesst and hope that the devs have something planned in the future for these factions.

• Xang Xi Automated Systems - with there advanced "Automated Systems" could be producers of high end computer components like new hud equipment such as scanning/logging equipment for miners, long range scanners, cargo scanners, tractor beams.

• Ineubis Defence Research - could develope and sell new types of targeting systems for combat pilots, countermeasures, stealth equipment, disabling lasers/rockets, shield generators.

• Aeolus Trading Prefectorate - should be a wholesaler for frigate class trade vessels. Dealing in high end trasportation of goods and civi's. Could also offer mining class frigates though Tunguska should offer a varient as well.

I tried to incorportate as many suggestions from the list as possible, I'm sure that some of them are still quite disputed but I thought this might be a viable way to introduce some if not all of them in one form or another.

The whole game is untapped potential. All sorts of things could be said to be "neglected". I can assure you that there are reasons for the other factions and those reason will be evident as time goes on. If you think about it, it would have been easier for them to just keep it to the 3 main factions, right? The devs aren't given to randomly tossing things in. Patience.

This was merely a suggestion of ways to incorporate ideas that have been suggested, relax, perhaps it was a bad choice of title. TAKE A SIP OF YOUR COFFEE and relax FM. =)

Yeah, I don't know whats with Tunguska having real nice ships. Waylon must be attracted to the old NS1.

out of curiosity, has anyone attained great standing with any of these factions (xang xi, ineubis, aeolus)? could be wrong but i suspect that everyone's so busy doing trade guild missions for Orion, TPG, corvus, and Axia (and now Tunguska) that maybe we've overlooked some killer goods.

just wondering

yes, people have high standings with all of those factions. At present Xang Xi, Ineubis and Aeolus have no special ships. I'm sure that there will be specials for them before too long, and then for a day or two everyone will level up thier faction points with those places.
