I recently had an idea for a new faction, a nomadic fleet based organisation. The idea behind them is that long ago, they broke off the shackles of the ground and took to the heavens in a ragtag fleet of starships, and have been exploring the cosmos for over three hundred years. It is an almost religious faction, they believe that true salvation lies in the journey, and if they keep on moving, hell will never catch them. They will have a "home" you can visit however, you will be able to find their fleet at an asteroid belt. I have already had a few people seemingly interested in this. The journey accepts all races from all backgrounds, united in their common flight.
You'd need to build the fleet on an asteroid 'planet' for this to have a chance of working, due to how starbound ships work, and just pretend it moves. It's neat though.
Sounds a lot like Destiny's Dead Orbit...if you actually read those stupid Grimoire cards...also with a hint of Mass Effect's Quarians. Needless to say, I approve. Sounds like something actually somewhat new for the server, especially if it's a generally-public place.
Isn't this exactly what the Armada faction in the past was? Still, it was a good idea, seems reasonable that there'd be another faction like that.
If I recall that was more of a "here's our IC fleet of ships" thing rather than a "we are a nomadic band of ships on a perpetual field trip from the troubles of life" group.
Sounds JUST like the Quarians. Religious, 300 hundred years after abandoning their world.. I mean heck, I'd totally be up for it. Enviromental suits too? ;D
Well, I don't know too much about the Quarians, but it seems alot of sci fi games have a sorta nomadic race. They don't have to use environment suits, luckily for them.
