Remember Alliance: You can create ideas

[Coren Starchaser]

As I said in the announcement, we are always going to be taking dominion, and skirmish, ideas, in an effort to pull some bottom-up management (also called 'crowd sourcing' or 'you are the faction' or 'this is your faction, not mine') the FA staff here would love your input in the direction of the faction, for our stories, and dominions.

Basically, as long as it doesn't interfere with the faction tenets (war against the dark side, not getting bogged down by meetings, and having crowd-ready NPCs be the 'top dog' of the larger groups [PCs serving on a board of advisers is great]) we can do anything.

So,please use this to brainstorm, where do we want to go for our next dominions? We have our Invasion coming up

Hoth? Kro Var?

I'm thinking out loud here.

• We are now close to OS space on our northern border. For now, it should be close enough. There is no point in amassing more planets at the tip of Rimma Trade route arm. I believe we've gained enough footing to launch successfully launch invasion on Lujo.
• Other arm can extend upwards along the Hydian way; Malastare, then Denon, Loronar, Nubia and Duro. Many shipyards await there.
• GA sphere of influence around our capital planet is a little thin, we could put some buffer between us and TU; Omwat, Umghul, Phaegon, Arbra,
• Dominioning towards the east I consider secondary, but we could use Bespin... Also, we should let First Order get close to us, instead of bringing war to them. They are a new faction...let them have a break.

This being said, I find the current shape of GA space our greatest weakness. Having a lot of very long arms gives our enemies the posibility to cut them in the root and then we lose influence over a whole bunch of planets. Let's not share the fate of GR who could lose the SAME arm AGAIN if Roche invasion succeds.

Just my 0.02$

I think we should fatten up our little powercoil there.

Prob focus on the worlds in that little triangle space along Santuary and the Corellian spine.

 

[Kinsey Starchaser]

Thunder-punch levels powering up.

*beep beep beep boop*

 

[Taeli Raaf]

Just tossing in my .02 but Duro or Denon would probably be excellent choices for a dom, beyond shoring up existing arms

 

[Coren Starchaser]

I also know the FO will work with us, so long as we work with them for dominions. What I'd love to see is someone who really wants a world (like we did with Kiff/Elrood/Fondor) take point. You have a 98% chance of me saying 'yes go!' and a 2% chance of me saying 'wait just a minute, lets finish this current one, then yes'

I agree with [member="Tionne Thanewulf"] that we do not need to advance towards the Sith anymore, we have our avenue of assault towards that center of darkness. The only thing I would say that should be done, would be to develop some type of defenses in case they try to invade us down the arm. ( I don't really know what that would entail quite yet.)

The next largest center of darkness that threatens us would be the Techno Union. They have an arm within a hex or so of our capital. In the aims to both defend against any possible incursion, place strategic planets under the GA's protection, as well as allow us to stage invasions of TU space if the higher ups feel such is necessary, I propose that we dom Xagobah, Omwat, and Phaegon.

Phaegon particularly should be of interest, as the system has a large supply of lignan ore, which is useful to dark siders.

If we want to consolidate economic power, then I propose that we dom Bomis Koori, which was also a major droid factory world, and Naalol. Naalol is a nothing world, useful only to let us fortify the Sanctuary Pipeline.

The way planets are laid out in and around GA space is a huge problem. We simply don't have such density of dominion-able planets on the sides of Rimma route and Hydian way. Look at the empty space around Delta IV...

Also, an succesful invasion of Woostri would cut off the entire arm. So maybe GA needs to get "fatter" around Sullust as you suggested. When progressing towards Denon, we can Haluun Kal and Malastare, then go for Delta IV which should close the gap. Once we pass that point, we will have plenty of planets on the right side of Hydian way. Ultimately, the threat of arm being severed will only stop after that point and if we continue our work on the tip and consolidate our presence in Tapani sector and work towards Denon from the other side, through Devaron and Aleen.

[member="Coren Starchaser"] as much as dominion of Kiffex was fun, it was strategically useless. I'd hate to see a lost invasion and several dominions going to waste after that.

It's possible to fill out empty spaces that lack dominio-able worlds by making custom planets. The Levantine Sanctum was fond of doing that back in its hey day since they started in an area that barely had planets (and because it allowed them to tailor planets for whatever plot they felt like doing).

[Nikolas Faselli]

But fun dominions are always fun to have...

Either way, along with Haluun Kal and Malastare, Qat Chrystac seems to be a viable option. And from there on, Naalol, Phaegon, Omwat, perhaps?

Just rambling a bit...

 

[Coren Starchaser]

And we also just... don't lose invasions. Thats kind of my plan.

But it involves getting approved to carpet nuke Coruscant.

You seem to have really high hopes, my dear friend...

 

[Kaile Vera]

I can do a podracing corporate sponsored event on malastare. Could make unique tech as prizes and have the story decide who wins via writing and such.

Rigging podracers and a betting pool also included!

 

[Gabriel Sionoma]

[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"]

The OS took to that practice as well. On top of that, we can always scour wookiee for additional planets not currently on the map (I think we found a couple good ones doing that).

[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] [member="The Revenant"]

Great suggestion! Adding planets is definitely something we should get on.

I'm working on adding some, but if anyone sees a cool canon one that I don't see, let me know!

 

[Judah Dashiell]

Fatten up the territory.

 

[Julius Sedaire]

Fornicate with women of questionable morals and receive currency...

In all seriousness, much as I detest the map game, we do need to pay it a little heed. But as I am seeing with current suggestions, the existing planets (or at least one) contribute little to the story side of things, which makes a dominion drag on.

My solutiin is personal, but help. I cut my teeth on being a dev and post monkey here on Chaos. And I like to "hear" myself "talk" on here according to some. Now I suck at the map, with little desire to change it. You people who like/understand/are good at it? Give me some location(s). I will sub the planets, working with various people for diversification of ideas, with an eye towards good backdrops for Dominon stories. Likely no restricted mats.

My first idea is a "lightsaber crystal" planet. Nothing flashy, just an Ilum clone really. Sentient natives that are low-tech near or full humans with a tradition centered around the crystals. Lots of mountain ranges, rain forests.. Think Amazon on crack.

Another idea is a little more in depth, but a human world based on a medical/healer race. Probably do a Species sub so people can do PC's. Make tgem very advanced tech-wise, but little to no military, and xenophobic and isolated. Thinking very idylic environment wise.

Those are two off the top of my head. I've been wanting to wrestle the Codex a bit more, and this would give me motivation. Add to that, if we keep restricted materials to nill snd don't make Celestials or their tech populate the pkanet, should be little to no dev!

So, tl;dr - Tell me where we could usebplanets to fatten our cloud and tendrils, but also have good story to the dom. I will make the planet(s) and sub it at that location. I will lead the doms if people would like, or turn them over to interested parties in full, with me available for consult.

Srs bsns gais.. Les do dis.

 

[Ilias Nytrau]

I'll put up proposals for Belsavis and Anoth soon. Those should finish the bringing of Incom assets into the GA.

Also, I'll get back to near-obsessive mapgazing soonish, which should yield some fun, I hope!

 

[Rune Shamalain]

I would love to set up something between GA and CETO business wise. The company offers Tier 5 orbital shipyards over on the planet Ceto as well as mobile construction and repair yards on Kinooine. CETO can also craft pretty much any canon KDY ship models, as we have an agreement with KDY itself to do so.

Want to craft some big ships? We can do it.

Want to refurbish an old ship/ghost ship/antique? We can do that too.

Want to look into developing some neato-teach? Yeah, we're totally all about that.

Any of your GA head honchos game?
