Nahh - the freighter pilots boycotted Sol from all food and drink and demanded absolute power over cheesy-puff prices.

To eaze everyone's worries let me use a modification of a very well known (and often over used) line:

"There is no Sol Government"

Whatever they are, they're probably nicer than the Terrans in MT.

I think everyone in Sol went to see a movie and we return while they are still watching the movie. Make it say something like "I see Dead Hercs"


And to keep this on topic: Sol should have a government that someone should make up. Just to keep it in the future crap.

oh really?

well then, why don't you take all that wonderful data you have, and insert it into missions so we can all play your campaign.

Black Water Ops and Machina Terra are the 2 major campaigns every one is waiting for.

Because we're finishing off the mods, that's why. Besides, if you want missions, get on Slanker's case. He's in charge of the missions.

Woohoo!

Anarchy!


but there's just one problem with anarchy gentlmen, and thats that it only lasts long enough for the strongest guy to take control and declare himself the leader. in this case, the strongest governmnet.

that's pretty much right, as charger said Arnarchy would give away to some sort of government after a time, it's usually tyranny with some kind of dictator who is afraid of what would happen to him (or her) if the terrans on the other side of the collasped node somehow survived the shivans (we all know this) and came back through,wouldn't they be willing to do ANYTHING to hold on to that kind of power? more importanly, wouldn't they put weapons/armenent production in full tilt to provid this dicator a means to protect his intrests (mainly the entire system).

Take these two Scenarios:

In BWO the GTVA has the Golgotha as their trump card what has sol have in store?

In MT Sol has the Apoc & adjoining fleet but what do the GTVA have other than the Warlock?
