Powerful factions

Thinking about this a bit lately. Who do you all think could - given a sudden desire to make an all-out push to eradicate their enemies and their allies - do the most damage? Corsairs, Outcasts, Bounty Hunters or others (not including Nomads or Zoners)?

Say the Outcasts finally grew tired of being badgered endlessly by the BHs, or wanted a bigger chunk of territory for themselves and tried to wipe out the Corsairs. Perhaps the entire BH Guild was awarded one MASSIVE contract by the House systems that simply stated "wipe them out", and every ship they had went into the fight. That would make some nice battles actually.

I think it would be a close one, but the BHs have numbers on their side, and their ships are designed to be dogfighters. They also seem to be better pilots overall, as I've gone with a group of two Barracudas and two Pirhanas to a few pirate bases and they've easily mopped the floor with pretty much everything.

I don't think we need to read through 20 pages to get basic opinions.

If the Outcasts decided to launch an attack from the Edge Worlds, they'd be best off doing it at the Sigma systems. And, the Corsairs would probably join in, seeing the opportunity to crush the troublesome BHG. The Corsairs and Outcasts are enemies because they're ruthless factions, not because they specifically hate each other. It's entirely possible they would realise that their combined power would be virtually unstoppable and agree to help each other. Thus they would probably end up dominating Sirius. Why they haven't had that idea is beyond me.

Heh, exactly what I've thought of for the fanfic I'm writing right now.

Anyway, even if they don't team up, the outcasts will be able to win/cause tons of damage, for the simple reason that they have an extensive crime network with outcasts, liberty rogues, lane hackers and GC. So they'd win, for sure.

Oh, and they also have cardamine, a very good weapon.

As a summary, in the story, the Outcasts, Corsairs and a couple of minor groups allied at one point and took over the whole outer ring of systems together. Rheinland, Liberty, Bretonia and the BHG allied to resist them.

As a matter of fact, it features a guy who calls himself Outcast 1-1 making remarks about a story that he has yet to see in order to come off as sarcastic and interesting.

what are you talking about? please have some respect for grammar

Post Sun Oct 03, 2004 3:57 am

The same way you have respect for capitalization?

*shakes head* Chill! you two

Both things could use work, give it time.

For now, The Blood Dragons.
