CtC Delivery

Oct 30, 2005 DragonEmpire link
(I know I posted a topic on this somewhere but I can't find it, so I'm making a new post.)

With CtC deliveries UIT can deliver to either Serco or Itani, but Serco and Itani are forced to deliver to their own nations. I want to be able to CtC but since I'm forced to deliver to the Serco (which I'm KoS) and can't deliver to Itani I can't. Could we please change it so that no matter what nation you belong to you can deliver to Itani or Serco?

No. Just make it possible for traitors to actually switch nations.

The problem is something that some players already exploit: the friendly fire protection. If a Serco player has good Serco & Itani standing, they could CtC for the Itani, and the other Serco players can't do squat to them. It already happens, but at least right now they can't deliver themselves. This is one of the big reasons I think FF protection needs to be removed.

or you can try to raise your Serco standing again...

No, I am NOT CHANGING NATIONS!! (What is the point of being a traitor then? :p)

"The problem is something that some players already exploit: the friendly fire protection. If a Serco player has good Serco & Itani standing, they could CtC for the Itani, and the other Serco players can't do squat to them."

1) I'm KoS Serco and therefor not exploiting friendly fire.
2) I still might be able to kill the convoys and carry the Xith around but I can't deliver it, the point of this thread is that I WANT TO DELIVER!!

I hear that if they fail to deliver the xith within 30 minutes, it is free...

Your not changing, you are still Serco, and will appear serco on the cargo captures page everytime you destroy the transports.

honestly i'd rather see UIT not be able to deliver CTC cargo at all. that way it eliminates the unfair aspect of being a traitor, and adds a more mersinary-like aspect to the perticipation of traitors and the UIT.

I wholeheartedly concur.

And yet it won't happen, so quit whining :P

DragonEmpire: I know we disscussed tis before. Jex is right it is not gonna happen. The game does not and should not support traitiors. A Serco should never be able to deliver to the Itani and vice-versa

You are serco you shouldn't be trated like the UIT. If anyyone could deliver anywher some one with good Serco and Itani standing would have and an advantage.

Ok, I don't mean to be stubborn but I still think Serco should have the option to delever to Itani and vice-versa, I'll bring in some new arguments.

1)The devs themselves said that once the faction system is fixed that you will NOT be able to have both good Serco AND Itani standing, so therefor it eliminates this: "If anyyone could deliver anywher some one with good Serco and Itani standing would have and an advantage."

2)Think about this from a RP point of view, if a Serco wanted to help out the Itani sure the Itani would be suspicious, but wouldn't they gladly accept help?

Yeah, I can see your point...but only AFTER the faction system is fixed, and only Serco that are admired can deliver. After all, from a roleplay perspective, Serco infiltraters could sneak in under the guise of 'good will' and plant a bomb at C. Watch.

where is this faction system thread?
