Purge of All Clans

[The_Turtle]

I'm new here and have only been playing on this mod for 48 hours but I have tried other mods.  This one is by far the best one out there  :lol: Because of the almost inhumanly perfect balence.  But there is allways room for improvements.  In the "Rogue Universe" Mod the there were far fewer clans all run by admins.  I think that there should be a Europa clan (good guys), a Pirate clan (bad guys), a Nomands clan (kill everyone and be killed by everyone) I was also thinking about clans for each house liberty, kusari, rhinland...   This will solve many of the PvP problems that I have seen.  With my new Void order there will be no question about who can shoot who.  It is so lame and greatly subtracts from the ambiance of the game when someone says, "Wanna PvP?".  Also, the clans will make it easier to create admin-run events with the clearly defined teams.  I realize that old clan members will not be thrilled with my perposed change but I believe that the void will be better for it, especially for new players just getting started. Of course the clan members could keep their characters but the clan prefix will mean nothing.

PS: another idea, How about Nearly Indestructable clan bases that regenerate armor.  When an opposing clan destroys them all clan members in system recieve Spacebucks$$$  :lol:

Plese tell me why i'm wrong,

Welcome to the VOID....
48 hours into the game and you already thinking of ideas to help us improve our home.

personally i though both points are interesting ideas....
i dont think wiping all the clans is the way forward tho, i like the idea of an official liberty clan or Europa clan etc to help with role play but changing the clans is not so good IMO.
we can set peoples factions in game so maybe we could do that for "groupiing" people together

pirate already get Rep Fixed for a pirate, there faction is set to Pirate and thier in-game name changes to

Pirate  -  [x]-theJollyRoger-[x]                  

i think this needs to be done for all players who wish to roleplay....
i played on a server (cant remember the name now, i have been here a year lol) where when you created your new character you had to select the Faction it belonged to. Your rep was then changed acordingly.

i think this is what is needed to help role play onb this server

Navy clans rep fixed to Navy (Liberty, Europa, etc )

Pirates to pirates

Rogues to nomad or fugitives etc

PVP only could be set to PVP ( would require a new faction to be created called pvp tho )

freelancers stay default

your second point also i think is a very good idea..... Admins are looking to introducing clan bases again
( we had them a while ago but not much happened with them)

i think we need to wait and see what surprises strail has in store before we discus possible routes for clan bases to go


EDIT:
i didnt vote cos i dont think its a yes / no sort of question

[tmrobotix]

I don't like the first idea, clans should get freedom for choosing their reps.

BUt the second Idea is nice but maybe can't be done.
However I think making extra bases for clans only adds lag.

[eagleone]

in a way the first ideal already happen as gav has said. i do think a rep fix for all clan ships would be interesting. however i also know that it would be a great undertaking for the admin to repfix a few thousand ships.( you have to remember we are the largest server) but it would be good. one draw back is many ppl take great pride in having all the systems and bases and jh. this would be impossible. however it is easier to tell good from bad when you see a green or red highlite on a char.

the other problem is that not all navy clans have the same reason for being here this is not a rp server, while there is rp on this server it is a do what you like to do server. in our clan we each have 2 char, one for npc killing and one for pvp. the npc killing char has our kba in front it is the one we use to kill npc ofcouse it is the one you will see on the global ranking for individuals and clans. then our pvp char is for roleplay. i know some clan just rp. so it would be hard to set up one way for all navy.

side note pie why would anyone flame the guy he did not insulte anyone, he just presents an ideal. it would be different if he started by saying that we are all stupid for the way we play here, but he did not so he should get respectful answers to his question.

oh and the base thing is coming maybe not the way you were thinking but it is coming.

Just to say i dont mind having a rep fix, as long as i can dock at sparta and sit ont he rock without turrets shooting me of course .

I think ur points are very good, maybe the RP licenses have been fixed and can be used for the next mod.

Oh yea welcome to Void turtle

[Greaver]

I think some time. I think it was this month or last month strail made a rather large post. He went on to say that this wasnt solely a RP server or a PvP server. He said it was here to fit the general likeing of all the players here. For instance. There are a traders group. This isnt up in the RP section but this has gone on and has made an exciting new group for people to join and fight along side.

Also. Saying that asking for a PvP is ludicrous. Well..... It just isnt. This keeps things friendly and people know that they are going to be able to come to a system, Laze around, And fight at the own leisure. Meaning there are no fight, no scraps just friendly PvP's. I think the idea to turn everyone to a different colour would either make the server a major RP server or just wont change anything.

One of the reasons i like to plkay here is because i like to go out and have PvP's in a certain system and have a chat. But then again ican go RP against pirates and rogues that seem to be lurking around. (Mainly in alex )

But if the clan bases do return the base idea would be nice.

See you in space and welcome to the void.

I understand that this is not a RP server, but some elements of RP could be brought to the Void.  I don't know anything about modding freelancer and how hard or easy certain changes are but....

I think that "rep fixes" are a good idea.  I'm thinking that the existing clans could stay.  Maybe the existing clans could just be a subgroup of the main clans.  For example, [X] clan could be a navy clan and [Y] clan could also be a navy clan.  Many clans could all be part of the navy mega clan or pirate mega clan.  All the members would have to be green with navy and red with pirates.  They could then be free to form their own alliances.  Of course there will be neutral systems where people can hang around rocks and PvP to their hearts content. (sparta)

 Also, destructable bases don't have to he landable.  They could be something as simple as thoes four "nomad spheres" in the tempest system.  Just a target that needs to be defended.  It dosen't have to be an elaborate base like the one in Zeta Scorpiii that will bog down your already taxed servers.


I saw a player flying around who was green to me.  Does that mean that they are an admin?

I'm sorry about the poll.  I made that before I added more ideas to my first post.  

These are ideas not commands.  I don't mean to "flame" anyone.  

[The_Turtle]

yes, I don't believe arson is a good way of solving problems

and it seems people werent in a fire starting mood, good  8)[/quote]

why do you asume all we do is flame??
flames only occur when people make silly comments, when constructive suggestions are made (like this thread, nothing but nice things come of it)
Do you want there to be flames Pi?? you seems to be wishing we did


anyway.......

turtle the player you saw that was green has had their faction set to something ( like i was saying in my post above) they have had a rep fix which changes their status to that faction. and in doing so changes how you see them. you must be friendly with the faction they are aligned to, if you werent they would be red.
neutral stay white by default.

this is why i think the rep fixes would be good for RP players if the enemy is red when you look at them then you know you can shoot.
