Ya yah we know the romulans are Always taking other tech and adapting it to their own.... THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT THEM!
This thread is about the more basic Idea, of a Faction that, not only works for no one, but they steel ships, they can use any ship any tech... they will work with he other factions, if there is gain for it... like some new tech.
The Pirates: Much like Earths Pirate Lords, there is no Real one Leader or code for these Barbaric and Crafty Pirates... they come up against the borg, "Yah.... whatever just give us your Damned Ship, your money, and your goods, we will let you have your lives, or we will make sure you never ADAPT again..."
You can ether Defect from the Federation or Klingons, and become one, or start fresh, just know that both sides will see you as enemies and you don't care.... you don't need lock boxes to get TRIBBLE, you Knock out who has good gear and take it... disable ships, take them over, even NPC ships... and yes go in and in ship take over, take out the crew, disable the self destruct, and get on with life.... thank you very much.
Pro: can take over other ships and Build a Fleet, all of the ships can be used by the user, but are also NPC controlled, obeying your commands as they are part of your Pirate Fleet, (starting number of ships cap 20.... Zen buys up to 100, in increments of 20)
Cons: Can't Modify ships with other Factions parts.... they have numbers but not options, and the other Factions are against them, other Pirates are friends but.... no honor amongst thieves...
Speical: Space combat and Hostile Take overs.
- Unfair Play: Calls in all your NPC fleet, all ships in stock, and they all join in the map.
- Enforcements: Calls in NPC Crew to attack on Ground actions, in numbers.
The Syndicate: Like the Pirate they work against the normal factions but unlike them, they have a leader, they have a plan, and they do come in force, they are not as chaotic as the Pirates.
They see the borg and: "Shut up" *kill and take the scrap and make their own ships*
They don't go after ships to came them, they make their own custom ships, and can have even better weapons than most of the other classes, but unlike the pirates they can't have as big of a NPC fleet with them.... they can make a normal ship go from 4 front and back weapons to. 6 Front/Back/Right/Left/Top/Back, and are the only Faction with Anti-Fleet Capable Ships.
Pro:
- Parts: When Syndicate - You will get Ship parts, along with the usual stuff.
- Upgrades: depending on Family Rank, the lowest Green Horn being able to add +1 weapons to Fore/Aft and have one more device, to the top rank, Godfather, who has 36 slots, for weapons on 6 areas, Fore/Aft/Port/Star/Crow/Belly, 3 shields, Engine, Deflector, and 7 devices for each area. - Anti- Fleet: Any Syndicate Ship can multi-Target at will, and attack all enemies at once, 1* target per weapon, when this is engaged, each weapon is more powerful, and crew skills, work on all weapons acting independently.
*Assuming you are firing only a Single array, but if you have duel banks, or cannons, or torpedos
- Anti- Army: Same thing but instead of one weapon per target it is 2. - Anti- Squad: 3 Weapons per target. - Lock and Load: Rapid fires all weapons on one target, at half power for all weapons, and rapidly switches targets after one is destroyed.
Hit Squad: Used on bosses
A Organized Family, with laws.... protect the family and it protects you.
Cons: Can't have as big of a fleet as Pirates, and can't take over ships, they have to salvage parts and make a custom ship... also Everyone hates them...
You can be unorganized Pirates with a fleet, and pillage plunder and other wise make marry with your time or a organized Syndicate with Benefits, Organized Crime pays in the Galaxy and should be feared..... Pirate and Syndicates shouldn't be something Mabi-pambi that fight fair.
I've always loved the idea of adding piracy to STO, but I always felt it should be a new feature for the KDF (via the Orions and Nausicaans). It would certainly get people playing them, and go a long way towards making up for the faction imbalance of the past 3 years.
Still, I'd take ship theft however I could get it. :cool:
I mean the Pirates are not KDF, they are not OMEGA, they are ruthless outcasts, or people sick of protocal from ether faction, or any, they are all races....
The Mob, are organized and are not barbaric, but if they want parts, they will destroy your ship take parts and Hot rod another ship with them....
Pirates Steal whole ships and make a fleet.
Mob Destroy ships and Makes hot rod like ships, from the parts they get.... Like getting a Miranda Class Struts thing adding it to a Parmithus class saucer, adding the hull of a Galaxy and the Pylons and Necesls of a KDF ship, and then decking it out in weapons....
It would be nice if STO had a Anti-Fleet Vessel but apparenly they can't put their heads together and make a Spectical happen like that....
Ship drops out of warp.... and blasts EVERYTHING it can lock onto with lots and lots of beams and canons.... instead of going all Anti-Unit on one ship

Serious note, kdf could fulfill the role nicely.
