Corsair/Outcast Story

Sat May 10, 2003 2:19 am by Achilles

I've been all over and been to both Crete and Malta and found out the histories of these two rival factions, but what I have still yet to understand and find out is why the split into these groups. The Corsairs say they left the damaged ship and made planetfall on Crete.......yet the Hispania is in not to far from Malta on the other side of the Universe.....and the Outcasts say they just came......some things don't add up.....did I miss some info or something? Thanks for any info you can give me.

Wait, isn't Malta Outcast? And thus since the Outcasts stayed with the ship it went to the Outcast sectors leaving behind the Corsairs.

If you read the rumors carefully, you'd have found out the Corsairs left the damaged Hispania a long time before the Hispania limped to Omicron Alpha.

Therefore, the Corsairs settled on Crete, and had to scratch and fight to survive on their own for 700 years.

Same goes for Outcasts.

It was only recently (last 100 years or so), that the two groups were able to explore and find the other Houses and each other.

And about that time as the Sirius sector met up with the Hispanians the Nomads realized, 'Crap, theres more of them, letz wax dese critters!'

The sad fact is that those who were slowest in their colonization now have the most powerful ships in the game (titans). Can you imagine what Corsair battleships will be like? I wanna be at Tripoli when they make their first.

corsairs rock.
Full Stop.

Xenos are losers.

Of course the corsaiars rock, and they have the best ship, but the outcasts are good to be friendly with as well. I mean even thoe the titan is the best ship, the sabre is the best looking.

Hee hee, Corsair Battleship...I want one of those, think they'd give me one?
I think that the Titan is better-looking really, I don't know why, it just seems that way to me, personal oppinion I suppose. Granted though, The sabre is still cool, and easier to fly.

And the Eagle is even easier to fly. But all three have their advantages.

What surprises me is that there are no Class 10 ships for the different houses, or the bounty hunters...most of the class 10 guns you find are on the remains of house or bounty hunter ships.

Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

This just reminded me, I heard a rumour from a bar patron on Tripoli (I think)regarding the past relationship of the Corsairs and Outcasts. He claimed they were allied at one point but didn't really get into what split them up (maybe it was the Cardamine and the Outcasts sort of gradually becoming somewhat inhuman). Corsairs and Outcasts fighting side by side - even more potential for chaos than Corsair battleships.

Yes, it is a bad pun.

That would be awesome if the Outcasts and Corsairs joined up....but if that happened then the Red Hessians would almost certainly come over with them cause of thier close relationship with the Outcasts course there is that war b/w them and the Corsairs so. Also, Dark_Fighter, not sure if I agree with you there. While I like the Sabre a lot. My personal fav and IMO best looking is the Eagle.

If Outcasts/Corsairs/Red Hessians all joined up, they would be unstopable criminals. Heck, another '80 years war' among the colonies with the new allied criminals?

Might last even longer than that. I could Imagine the oucasts refitting the sleeper ship Hispania into a battleship more than either the oucasts or the corsairs making thier own.

Corsairs and Red Hessians would never join up because they are at war with each other over the Omega 5 system!
