Affliliations

[Darth Saber]

I have long been interested in the idea set forth by the mod on Xelerus called: "Changing player alligience" by e_____e. In another thread on this forum which addresses issues regarding player identities, George Moromisato said: "The only thing you are compelled to do is reach the Core (which is the same as saying that you are compelled to finish the game). Other than that, you have the free-will to do anything you want in the game."

Keeping this in mind, I was wondering if it might not be a bad idea to allow the player a chance to join in the cause of other entities. For example, if a player chooses to destroy Korsolov convoys, then he / she might be approached by the Charon Pitates, Marauders, -etc. and given a chance to become one of them. Or, if you decide to actively oppose the will of Domina by sacking her monasteries, then you could be approached by the Penitent Order, and be invited to join them. Add a screen which would allow you to utilize Oracuss's powers instead of Domina's; as well as the option of purchasing goods and refitting your ship at Penitent Shrines ,Sanctuaries, and allied bases. There is already a framework in place which sort of allows to to work for the black market and the Huari; this could be more fully developed though. Anyhow, just a few thoughts / suggestions....
