Lets test this persistent universe and see if FD are true to their word.

I think you're being too Sirius (sorry, couldn't help myself)

Nah just observing that's all. Experimenting with the game mechanic is cool. It's just that expansion/empire building is gonna be done a lot that's all. This one is kinda different and would be a shame this late in the game if the original brief wasn't adhered to.

I think thats a fair enough idea to be honest. I liked the idea of trying to flip a station initially and never had any intention of doing anything else.
The idea of expansion is interesting, however, and in due course, after this mission is over, I might well see if one of these other "projects " appeal to me. If they do , then I will leave the Lugh enthusiasts to do their own thing and I won't hijack what Orfeboy and others have done in the name of expanding CSG to other systems. There's enough room for everyone after all.
 
Please lets stay friendly and cultivatet here. Throwing such words on people who actually spend very much of their free time for you and your project here doesnt diserve this.

Because expansion is a game mechanic as part of the background simulation feautured in elite dangerous and as this game is new people just want to test out what is possible and what isnt. Just like playing with a new toy. I think most of the people here in this thread joined this experiment because they got fascinated about the idea of trying to get the federation out of an independent system and change ownership (even just to try out if this is possible) with all the tools we got from FD to play with and experiment (like me). I wouldnt play elite dangerous anymore if there werent such projects like the lugh one you started (also to mention mikunn, panda and all the others) because there isnt much content for now besides the background simulation (which i was excited about long before the game was released). The story you created around the lugh experiment is also very appealing (even if you seem to put in a lot of your background tradition and nativity into it... my english :) ) but you cant blame people which actually took big effort into this to be imperialists or something. This guys here, the core players are just interested in the game mechanic and they arent the casual "Praise the emperor" lets go and wipe the federation out of the whole galaxy guys. Fact is that we have come to a point in this experiment where expansion seems obvious in lugh if we just take it by influence and thats why i mentioned it yesterday but without the plan to push it and take effort into it now. Yes i played long before with the idea that we could expand to a neighbour system and for example take the place of a federal faction we wiped out (just out of interest and not in an imperial manner). And again my goal from the beginning till now is the purpose to suppress the federation out of lugh. If we manage to end the presents of federation here in lugh i might do something else or even quit and wait for new content.

So lets stop this stupid discussions about expansion now and lets focus again to our main goals. You can do this afterwards.

I;m sorry if we are getting our wires crossed a little. For me this is story driven. But I do see where you are coming from and appreciate that you are quite right. I do not want to spoil anyones fun and you are also quite right in saying that it is everyones effort that has gotten us this far. I started the thread but that is all really. It is the players that did the work (no matter how much effort I put in myself). It takes a huge amount of work to shift the numbers.

Like I said above, this is story driven for me so I want to remain true to the storyline and not budge from that. As far as my contribution goes that is what I have to do and if the day comes where we finally control the system and expansion is taking place the in reality I will have no control over what others do. I will however try to continue with this saga. It may be that other people involved here have other ideas and I (and anyone else that is still with me) will have to deal with that as it comes. But make no mistake, this is only a game and I am not going to fall out with anyone over it. It is just fun afterall. But isn't that what makes this sort of gameplay fun? Personally I am looking forwar to see what happens :)
 
Sesuang is also wanna be free)
Free from what? (sorry but being devil's advocate here)
Yes, but we are assuming that one fction or another upholds the values you ascribe to. The question is whether that is another independant, communist, raving loony party , or CSG (assuming expansion)?
I myself might justify an anti-fed stance because I dislike slavery, yet I have seen missions by CSG requiring slaves! Does that mean I should now hijack this process, as another faction in Sesuang also wants slaves, even if its the faction you decided to support?
Or maybe I should just have a little fun and quit getting too involved.
 
If you ask a mod nicely they can do it for you.

He's done it again! :) sneaking up with a sensible suggestion when least expected! :p

At 109 pages though, it might be worth starting a new thread, possibly in the Groups section, with a simpler first post and clear indication of the goal. Obviously link to it from here.

Only question is, as this is more of an event/project, is the groups section the right place to keep this current task focused?

Maybe we need a thread in Groups stating our aims and links to a thread (possibly this one or a new one) relating to our current goal(s)? The Groups thread would then be the ideal place for a call-to-arms when the next project comes up.
 
This is incorrect, we use the results to guide where the story goes.

Michael

Well, I see that the saying about assumptions are true! My apologies, Mike! This is truly an interesting turn of events. I love the idea that there are no set story endings! This is truly an innovative way for a game to be written! Thanks for the clarification.

We should not get bogged down with this. We are talking like we have already won. I am not so sure the Federation will not have something to say about this before it is over. The speculation on Galnet read like an omen to me. I would not be surprised if some of the injected events that are going on in the main storyline with worlds in rebellion were to spread to the systems around us. It is afterall a hot bed at the moment.

We should not be so complacent and spend more time being united in our conviction to see this job done. As others have already said, we can deal with these differences of opinion as they arise. For now lets just stay focused on the job at hand. I seen we lost a little influence last night. Has anyone got an update?

Yes its just a game and we should enjoy it. And i really admire this whole saga/story you set up here with the Lugh scenario. You did very much for the whole community creating this and Its long time ago since i got fascinated so much by a game.

Keep on with your saga/storyline and Peace

PS: And sorry about some silly posts i made in your thread.
 
It is my opinion (real world and otherwise) that a people has a right to govern themselves in whatever way they see fit. It is not for us to judge. Better they do it themselves than someone else forcing it upon them.

I'm going to have to confiscate this soapbox soon! :) Let's stop worrying about "why" we're doing it and what will happen next. Let's just get on with the task in hand!

What we have here is your standard mix of people with different views coming together for a common cause. Let's run with it.

if you don't want to free Lugh from federation control (for whatever reason) then move along , there's nothing for you to see here. Otherwise, get on with it :)

When Lugh is free we can bask in glory and go our separate ways (or not)

Personally I like the fact that we all have different opinions/goals but are all working to the same end for now. I'll certainly sign up for future missions if they fit my personal criteria, or I may skip some if they don't. That doesn't mean I won't be back for more afterwards.

If this was a movie, words such as "rag-tag", "mismatched" and "badger" would be bandied about. I lied about the word "badger".

It's a good thing. The Children love us for it!

Now, get back out there and free Lugh before I send my mother round to knock your heads together :p

PS: This was not a dig at anyone, just trying to regain focus. At 110ish pages, we can do without pages of posturing to put off potential new recruits. :) And yes, I know you weren't posturing and you didn't mean anything by it, just....oh, you know!!

I am pretty sure they won't go: "Oh look, there is this Wealthy 15,5 billion people system that wants to leave the Federation. Yeah, lets write them a letter of reference, let them take their open vacation and move on with it.
They weren't very well mannered after all, with all that child eating stuff."

The whole galaxy is a hotbed. The area of Alioth is exploding in a way that noone can keep up with all the different developments, civil wars, lockdowns, unrests, booms etc.

Don't be daft Sirius. I know very well you are one of the key players in this. I see you guys flying around out there every time I am online. I know full well how much effort you have put into this and am very grateful for your interest. If we had 10 of you we would be at 100% by now!

The child snatching is still going on you know. Children are disappearing every day and there are rumors of 'boxes of arms' being unloaded in Balandin Gateway. Why do you think 'Animal Meat' is in such high demand in the surrounding systems? It's still going on I tell ya, it's still going on... :)

I took it as joke and also as fact.

Whatever :)

Hey, my apologies. I was only kidding around. Look I'm a noob to this. Only arrived at Lugh on Saturday so don't mind me. I'm just excited that's all and can get a bit carried away with the wise cracks. I think the idea is a great one and it's nice to be part of this. I think all the points you make are valid too and you and your guys have done more towards this than I will hope to this late in the game. I hope to see you in game my friend.
 
Nothing new.

boom / Civil war pening.
