Rogue System - 3rd Party Faction

[ashen moon]

Ok so i heard in the early days that they will implement a 3rd party faction whenever you lets say you went rogue and disowned your own faction and now you're factionless, so my suggestion for this system will be either:

• Stay Rogue: do whatever task or event that MFG cook for it (you wont be able to access your faction's task and stash while being a rogue)
• Try to join a faction through a series of hard task to gain their faction's task and stash, but the thing is you can join either 3 faction, that will encourage player not to wipe and reset their entire account just to join another faction with their friends, they can still keep their level and task, so it makes more sense and keeping the game flow alive

How would a rogue individual be able to safe end deployment or even get items from their stash? I could see going rogue with a full combat load but if it takes more then that to join another faction (i.e. picking up weapons/ammo you find from the bodies you kill that might not match your own in turn losing looting space) then that would be a turn off to a lot of players (assuming)

there should be hidden COP for the Rogues that rotate around the map and places near the rear of Ground Zero i think, makes it more remote and more balance

I feel like this idea or a system was just some thought they had but I doubt they really figured out the design around it. At first it sounded like a punishment for greifers. you wouldn't want it to be interesting gameplaywise so that people start killing their own faction members in order to experience it..

handful of rogue cops, that are visible only to them (maybe randomized on every server....take one of the jungle campsite tiny POIs and make it a rogue COP)

theres a few of those on the edges of the map I think - enough "out of the way" but not rewarding much for "betraying everyone"

only vendors available are Turncoat and Vulture

Or how about a few set rouge COPs near the edges of GZ as a way to "hide" from the other factions BUT other COPSs could be capped and taken over tho they wouldn't have any AI back up, thus the Rouges can have a COP but now it could easily be taken back over by a faction and those that take it back could get some exp/cash/rep as a reward

unless they'll allow for player affiliation with the faction that is suppose to be in GZ (the ones killing all the PMCs around it, when Handshake/Gunny send you to find them) - doubt it'll be near the GZ

[sonic monolith]

Haven't gotten that far to know there was anyone near GZ in the first place lol but it could work tho, just kinda rewrite base AI to work there as a "factionless/rouge" element

[teal wyvern]

well they're not in-game (apart from a few LAF I think...havent checked in 0.4 yet) but lore-wise theres funky stuff and dangerous folks there

Then what about moving/taking out a quest where you have to go to the trench base between sawmill and the fort? That's pretty out of the way (at least compared to CSI and MSS)

I'm sure there's other pretty far locations between each faction that could work as a starting/ending area for them

[teal wyvern]

that would mean removing the task(s) related to that LLA camp/base

the little campsite POIs that are remote enough could work, and since we're talking about rogues/traitors, they'd have little to zero logistics and other support on/in Lamang
