Knights Of the Red Branch SciFied

[Commander Mick]

My proposal for a Elite-Dangerous Guild or Clan known as the Knights-of-the-Red-Branch.....

No lasers.... they just use Kinectic weaponry load-outs on their ships (That are most likely built from salvaged parts of other vessels...If this is allowed.)

They are painted in the usual colours of Woading and Tartans.

They have really thick hulls (That are good for ramming other ships...) with no powered-up shielding. The equivalent of going Sky-Clad (I didn't now it was originally a Indian custom!) in space.

They keep a ordinance of Gae-Bulg-Missiles that lodge inside other ships on impact and rip them apart as they reverse thrust remove themselves after releasing spikes that fold out from their outer-shells. Not that I understand the technology, but it somehow works and these missiles can only be launched by the pilot using his foot. For this pays homage to the ancient Red-Branch-Knight feat of Spear-footing.

Last but not least......

Their ships do not use Hyperdrive/Supercruise - Frame-Shifting they simply just Warp-Spasm (Outer-System-Jumping) Salmon-Leap (Inner-System-Jumping)to other places. Yet, they don't just travelled forward, but up and over for many parsecs.

If you do like my idea of Knights-Of-the-Red-Branch-Clan in this game.

Please let me know and I'm not even suggest that would be the one in charge of this.

It's just a suggestion......

BTW I got this idea from my extreme interest in reading and collecting 2000AD's Slaine

Honestly? I think it's a misguided idea. You're focused on making close parallels to Slaine instead of doing something that better fits the Elite setting.

But there's a lot of mythological references in the system names so it's not out of place - there's systems called Culann and Connla, for example, not to mention Bolg - without checking exhaustively I expect there's more Ulster-flavoured stuff. Find a star that's suitable and operate out of there, that'd be pretty cool.

As far as I recall there are no guilds/corps/alliances etc. being setup in Elite. At least not at this time perhaps sometime in the future.

In the meantime, just remember I posted this here and twice because it was suggested to me on the original post.

My suggestions are based on Irish Myth. The same ones the author of Slaine was based on. If you read it carefully and knew about semi-fictious character based on them. Then you would see that I did not write anything down that was exclusive to the latter.

Some of those suggestions about the planets given old-Irish names only makes me feel sorry I didn't pledge on the tier that would allow me to name a planet, sun or system and not just the space-station and commander name.

Otherwise, there might be a sun or planet named Ulster or Tara and my Space-Station named The Cauldron and not Patrick Thomas (My full middle name!)

I don't know about Guilds, yet I notice that you can start a Group under the heading of Friends in the options Menu.
