[color=red][/color] NEW FACTION: BAND OF THE HAND

BLACKHAT · Post by **BLACKHAT** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 4:57 pm

Recently chaos has ravaged the different factions. Brother has turned against Brother, the apprentices Turing against their masters, and the balance of of power has shifted more often than Barack Obamas position on Iraq.
Disillusioned & bitter I have decided To form a NEW type of faction. The "BAND OF THE HAND" will be a ronin faction. We have no loyalties and no leaders, not even to each other. We are guns for hire. The point system will not apply to us as even our points will be for sale!
Are you outmatched by another faction?, Do you find yourself alone with no other faction members online to back you up? Look for the player with the bloody palm print next to his name. We are the only " Smart weapons" for sale!
1 em costs 1200cr(& it may or may not work!). A Gama 800cr, & you are limited by the number you can carry!
However for 5000cr you can buy a "smart weapon" that can carry 15 missile & countermeasures. (you want the use of Gammas and EMs it will cost you extra). You can send one of the band into the battle first to wear down the enemy and use up their weapons and then die while you come in for the kill to grab the glory!
5000 cr is the cost of use of a Gal cruiser or Alien Scout
3330 is the cost of the use of an Alien Freighter
3000 is the cost of the use of a Gal freighter
& so on depending on the players ship and it's weapons load it carries.
Are you a new faction just getting started? Want some power points? Talk to us! If we got them we will sell them to you!
To pay for our services you simply buy cargo worth the amount of our fee, we leave our faction long enough to kill you and take position of the cargo( wouldn't want you to lose those precious power points!) we sell it, and we are yours for 1 battle.
Interested in joining up? You have to have a pirate ship or better , no need for the point system, And a desire to just fight, regardless of who!

I am very enthusiastic to see a mercinary faction arrive. as i have warned you, Once your power becomes high enough, we shall swoop in for the harvest. until that day, we may reserve the right to hire your exppertise, indeed.

Also please remember that all services are dependent on payment up front. No service will be provided without cr. in hand. This is simply a good business practice. However we due have a layaway plan for those who wish to plan for the future! All purchases are final, no refunds!

We would of course charge the cost of an Alien freighter, this is our we of keeping our customers happy.

That will do. I'll pay you once I see you in space.

But I suggest you get some freights soon.

Payment received Ark, you have the service of one Gal Cruiser for one battle of your choosing. I hope to see you in space soon so we may get down to bussiness.

1 em costs 1200cr(& it may or may not work!).

May want to hold off on EMs until they actually work. I haven't had one work for ages and I don't think others have either.

Seems sporadic at best. I've had EM's defeated with standard CMs, some that work fine, some that fire invisible and the target never knows what just hit him (only once, my favorite

) etc etc the list goes on...

I find them most effective as a way to use up enemy counter measures.

How do they do that? Back when EM's actually worked standard countermeasures did nothing to stop them. Nor do they stop them today. Gamma's were implemented into the game just to counter EM's and balance things a bit.

I always thought you could counter them

You can.

Only way to counter an EM is by using a Gamma. I think the only reason why it seems like you can counter them is because they are not working correctly.
