I'm making a campaign, and the initial conflict involves an anti-government terrorist force consisting of both Terrans and Vasudans. My question is this: Would Vasudans be at all likely to rebel like this? The HOL would seem to suggest that they are, but superstition tends to be a bigger motivator than politics.
-
Superstition can play into politics, you know :P
If some Emperor ran around breaking every taboo in existence, I'd think some Vasudans wouldn't be too happy.
-
I don't see why not. Assuming you've played FS2, remember the Admiral who attacks Bosch against orders. That's a comparatively big no-no, especially for someone with such high authority (ie an Admiral). Basically what I'm saying is that there's precedence for Vasudans "doing bad things", I don't think anyone would necessarily disbelieve your story line if it was presented well enough.
-
The same admiral who later becomes a key figure in the BWO demo, I might add! Good bit of continuity on their part.
-
I definitely think that <certain> Vasudans can turn out differently than others. I mean, there is so many splinter groups of Terrans who abide by different morals and ideals so certainly not all Vasudans will be clones.
-
OK, thanks, guys. I wasn't saying Vasudans are clones, just that certain species are prone to certain things XD
And yeah, I forgot about the first SOC loop. That pretty much makes my case right there >.>
-
Vasudans have been known to commit violent acts contrary to the wishes of the ruling government. I mean, just look at the entire freaking Hammer of Light rebellion.
-
It's all about how you tell it.
-
Aye, I figured as much, but I just wanted to verify so I didn't get half the campaign done and it turns out I'd have to completely redo the premise of the first 5-10 missions >.>

Have you played Procyon Insurgency? It worked out well there

It makes you wonder if Dasmar's a good person... :nervous:

Anyone played the online campain that comes with FS2 retail? I recommend looking at it.

That would be the obvious answer.

I see the Vasudans as remarkably similiar to Terrans. Even the tech description describes a planet that could conceivably be close to ours. Hell, 98% of OUR water is undrinkable, even by human standards. Although Earth has 7 continents, dividing them into two large ones isn't really beyond the realm of imagination.
I find it hard to believe 100% of them are entirely unified. With a large population, you have to have some dissent.
-
Again, thanks for all the verification. I'm being very paranoid with this one when it comes to discrepancies. I was going with the line of thought that every species has something they probably wouldn't do. For instance, a beaver probably wouldn't charge something in a bloodthirsty rage. Abstract analogy, but that's what led to this thread's creation.
So, Vasudan terrorists it is. Awesome. :wakka:
