Chada1 Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Following: This PR A lot of cool IAC gear will be removed from the game except in events. So I propose, the IAC are an international (Pardon my wording, I don't speak on part of the Aurorastation staff or their game) red cross, so I figure it would fit v. much and give a new p. cool thing for players of these emergency response teams to play, if we added an IAC auxiliary role to the TCFL and Kataphracts, both of these groups would accept the IAC without question p. much. (Honorable aid organization with only one purpose > To protect the innocent and heal the sick, which is compatible to both) That's p. much it, add their gear to an IAC role (Similar to the K'lax role for the Kataphracts) and let them do their thing as a much more pacifist element of them.

DeadLantern Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 I do not think the IAC would be with rhe Kataprachts, considering the how much the Hegemony distrusts them. Also, why would they leave Moghes to heal a dozen of Kataprachts? They need to give support to as many people as possible, and placing the IAC on a random adventure ship chasing conflict is not the best way to go about healing unbiasedly.

Why Wouldn't they accept the IAC? Why wouldn't the IAC accept them? Unathi more generally not trusting the IAC doesn't mean the Kataphracts wouldn't ? Edited June 10, 2020 by Chada1
N8-Toe Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 simplest solution is just disarm the IAC ERT and keep them in rotation. also I do agree IAC with Katapracths doesn't make much sense as the Kataprachts are essentially just vigilantes. but yeah maybe an IAC auxiliary with the TCFL would be interesting.

Also part of the reason we're removing them from the rotation isn't just that they're armed I don't think, them being armed doesn't mean they'll attack the antagonists/etc, it's for their self-defense too, but an unarmed/non-defensive Emergency Response Team just isn't great for the round overall as I understand. Quote I do agree IAC with Katapracths doesn't make much sense as the Kataprachts are essentially just vigilantes. I just don't agree with this, the Kataphracts are essentially vigilantes yes, but they're in human space, on a basically humanitarian mission, reacting to emergency SOS signals. There's nothing at all about that, that'd be incompatible with the IAC. I'd even think the Kataphracts on Moghes would go out of their way to protect the iAC where they exist. Keep in mind too, the IAC isn't a monolithic entity with a strict hierarchical structure -- and it's not only humanity. You could figuritively play an IAC Unathi in the role too. ? They have colleges and stuff on Moghes where they're actively training Unathis to be doctors/etc. Edited June 10, 2020 by Chada1

Why Wouldn't they accept the IAC? Why wouldn't the IAC accept them? Unathi more generally not trusting the IAC doesn't mean the Kataphracts wouldn't ? Kataphracts are servants of the Hegemony, first and foremost. Secondly, they probably would accept the IAC on one of their chapter ships. However, I do not think the IAC would even want to be on a Kataphract ship--they could do a lot better healing those in active conflicts on Moghes, where medical aid is probably more needed. But, I am all for the IAC being in the Kataphracts anyway. It is not impossible, just a little strange. Mechanics over lore, though. To be honest, the K'lax would probably produce some doctor Viax for the ships and give them some medical supplies, but I think you need a Vaurca whitelist to play a Kataphract K'laxan? I am not entirely sure on that part.

Alberyk Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Against this. IAC can still be called if people fax for it, if the pr is merged. Also, just adding IAC to all away teams we have will likely muddle their themes.

Also, the IAC wouldn't be added to all away teams, the NT ERT wouldn't have them, only the more freeform moral-driven teams (The TCFL, the Kataphracts) would actually accept them, the freelance mercenaries wouldn't, and the NT ERT wouldn't. But if they're still in the game then I guess this isn't really needed, I thought we were effectively removing them. This can be locked and archived then (But the IAC would still be great as a role in the TCFL) Edited June 12, 2020 by Chada1
