A Request

Am I allowed to post this here? I hope so. I have a small request for all you talented modders, I'm sure it couldn't be too hard to do and I'm sure would be well-appreciated. I'm looking for a faction mod: An OpenSP mod that lets you choose a faction to be a member of, so that you get the costume, reputation, ship, and starting location of that faction.

There are a number of mods available, but they all have flaws, such as not working (New Character) or not having enough factions available (FlyByU's OpenSP). The closest is OpenSP FuBi edition, but the locked systems now available don't have any exits and the Nomad Fighter ship is much too weak. While it would be nice to have The Order and the Nomads available as playable factions, I'd prefer them to work properly, though I really don't want to be over-critical. I see that modding is hard work.

I hope this inspires some of you.

I've had a 2/3 done one of these on my harddrive since the start of the year. the only factions you can't use are the nomads(no bases to use as a safe haven) & the GC (thier an all female faction and I'm not giving Trent a sex change).

You get a ship and loadout to match the faction, depending on what ships they have in the faction_props.ini as to what you fly. Traders generally get freighters but there are a couple that don't use them so they get light fighters instead, the rest are mainly in light fighters but some only have heavy fighters.

You get a rep and costume to match and start at one of thier bases (the LSF & Synth Foods don't have a base of thier own), there's even a jumphole to allow the Order to use Planet Toledo as a base and yes that does mean the Anubis is available.

When I get the time I'll finish it and send it to Bp for you.

**shuffles off with a new headache**

Thank you.

FuBi's edition did allow you to have a Nomad reputation, but there you actually chose the system you started in, so that problem didn't arise.

Thank you again.

What other factions would you like to have in my open sp and changing the clothing is easy enough to add in.

Every faction, including the less well-known factions like The Order, maybe even Quinatine's Men if possible, though I realise that putting them in would mean reawakening certain areas, and thus further modding.

Quinatine's Men I never thought of that one that would be intersting to add.

“SISU”
(Pronounced: siss-sue)
(Meaning)
Guts, Tenacity, Steadfastness, Courage, and an Indomitable will to Succeed, and Survive.

There are 8 factions that would be difficult to include: Golden Chrysanthemums, The Order, Nomads, Quintaine's Men, Kress's Men, Corrupt Rheinland Military, Corrupt Liberty Navy, Corrupt Kusari Naval Forces.

By the way, FlyByU, there's a problem with your mod. Some of the factions are impossible: you don't have the equipment to survive your starting system.
