Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
Is it a group within the GTVA?

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
...huh. Anyone got any ideas? I'll post the summary again for the new page:

It's canon.

It's a group or faction etc, but not a squadron or company.

It has nothing to do with the Shivans.

They're armed.

They're Terran.

They're not exclusive to the techroom.

They are in FS2 and more.

They are not antagonists. Canonically, which may suggest they are outside of canon. I wonder if they could become antagonists in the game.

It isn't the GTVA or a group within the GTVA.

It isn't the Terran race.

Are they involved with the NTF?

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
Hmmm... are Pirates the answer?

They are canon (ST Cloak and Dagger).
They could be described as a group.
They have nothing to do with Shivans.
They are armed with high tech ships and weapons.
They could very well be Terran.
They do not appear in the techroom IIRC.
They are not antagonists but you do fight against them.
They are not connected with the GTVA.

If I am wrong, I give up, nothing else falls on my mind.

Not all of your premises are correct, wardog, be mindful of how exactly things are worded.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

It's not the GTVA.

No.

0 questions left.

I actually thought Lorric would get it by question 10 or 7. It was the Luyten New Alliance.

I had to answer to the question "Is it in FS2?" in the most literal sense. Yes, it is in there, in the game, as historical record. It isn't canonically antagonistic, but there's a fan campaign where it is. It isn't made of matter (It's an alliance, a government, an institution), it is Terran but not "a group within the GTVA" (this is where I got most doubts... AFAICT, the LNA was dissolved when the GTVA was established, but it is somewhat arguable that there was a timeframe where the two existed at the same time. The present tense of the question adds to the problem. Nevertheless I had to respond something, and the LNA wasn't definitely part of the GTVA when it formed - feel free to argue with me on this one).

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
Yeah, that was one of my suspicions as well. Actually tried to trawl through some of the wiki articles on the GTVA to see what the previous star system governments were, but couldn't find anything that gave me the precise name.

Is it an artificial object (built by anyone)?

And is it only in FS2?
