Looking to organize all USSP mains

[junior plume]

that, is what I mean.

[lament fern]

Learned atmos mining today, 1 step closer to remaking baikal station brick by brick when the time comes lol

[civic mica]

I was gonna catch up to chat where i left but... yeah maybe not

[pale pilot]

Its kinda bleh but its community development in my eyes

anyway maybe ill play some today I kinda miss mono >.>

[obtuse bough]

I'm just going to have as much fun as I can while we are in limbo as a main faction
Tunguska spam, Ledokols, ADS/Chimera fights...

Our numbers are on the decent side the last few rounds I played, all that was missing was a Commissar to lead us, although Serzhants and Efreighters have been stepping up to the plate pretty well

[south obsidian]

True and real

Americans don't exist

It's all been a dream

[pale pilot]

😱

COMRADE GUN ON TUNGUSKA BROKEN

IS OK COMRADE WE BUY ANOTHER

not the fault of the faction tho, literally just how the game works

[pale pilot]

Im on right now!!

[halcyon apex]

Every time I've played a USSP round I've been the Camelot Guard, which is FINE

But also I wanna test out the ships

[obtuse bough]

I find the best thing to do is just ask your comrades if they want to do a patrol (particularly if there is no one in a leadership role), we've got a fairly decent ship roster imo

Hell, even the Remotnik is worth trying solo, go out and salvage and stock up the armory in Camelot. You don't need to go too far if you're worried about being jumped, just be ready to hop in and FTL to Camelot

[halcyon apex]

Oh no I was like the person put as Camelot guard to make fortifications or man the guns lol.

There was one time I got to play as pseudo stracom cause the Commissar had me stay behind and gave me a stratcom key

[junior plume]

heard

Next operation we glass halc

glory to the USSP

IM NOT CRAZY

Im not just a fragger cuz occassionally I wanna kick some fascist ass >:3

[junior plume]

as long as it's people and not person, I welcome it

my priority will forever be survival of the faction though.

also I made the disc :3

[obtuse bough]

TSF are long overdue a visit from the USSP fleet
Last time I rocked up to glass it, Ashers already turned it into space dust

[pale pilot]

WE WANT TO FIGHT THE SPACE FASCISTS NICK!!!

LET US FIGHT THE SPACE FASCISTS >:O

also I am on rn organizing

if anyone wants to get in on this

[junior plume]

WE SHALL!

:D

While we're still a major factions, you guys are right

we should go nuts a bit, have fun

when the hammer of change comes on us, we'll worry about the change then.

for now, however.. While the change still isn't in effect..

GLORY TO THE USSP

[junior plume]

anyone that can

hop on :3

[halcyon apex]

[halcyon apex]

I was glassing chimera ships ;-;

[junior plume]

NATA!

were you there at the final assault of the chimeras?

[halcyon apex]

YEAH SOMEONE KILLED ME WITH THE GUNS

OOF

[junior plume]

cough don't worry comrade

I had to unload because of the high number of em

getting overrun means not making it

CAN I GET AAAAAAA

GLORY TO THE USSP!

[oblique glacier]

Sad I missed it

If y’all wanna go and fuck the Halcyon up it’s exhaust pipe again tomorrow, I’d be down

[karmic delta]

Before this round I didnt know there was a cargo bounty terminal by the barracks

I really like the bounties very thematic, not to bad for some of them. But then there is the civilian mech for 50.

[obtuse bough]

Holy shit the USSP actually won last night?
My Comrades cooked?

[junior plume]

I mean

YEAH

comrade Tarku got...

captured by the TSF.

I apologized

we allied

the TSF got wiped by chimeras

we both glassed the ASR

and we defended Came from 45 chimeras

[pale pilot]

Yea they werent responding to any hails while they were looting a contra stash so I shot out the thrusters of whatever was docked to it and sent a guy to investigate

Then two ships showed up to help their friend and I had to pilot and shoot them both at the same time lol

I managed to position their shit between me and them for a while but, it didnt work forever haha

[lament fern]

Good ussp round yesterday

[junior plume]

I

still..

didn't

fucking

sleep.

3 shifts in a row.

also sorry that I had you somewhat idle-

10-12 people was A LOT to handle xD

[lament fern]

Yea i understand lol

I got some action

Still better than a lowpop round

Sekunda is a neat ship but not really a frontliner

[pale pilot]

Im on rn :)

[junior plume]

I have

been on

for 23 hours straight ;3

also, I beg for the love of god, since I am too tired to continue..

bunker = you survive

no bunker = you will die.

if chimeras are on

and even if ASR saboteurs are on.

also try and get yourself a station AI. trust me, it's worth it. buy an ark to get one if you have to.

[pale pilot]

that no one can play lol

[junior plume]

Wartime will be on.

I can bet they'll be on

to play camelot AI.

we had an AI the whole shift after you left.

Var-Tim (name of AI) = Comrade Wartime

chuck em in the server room

put a spare generator in there

at the beginnin of the shift

and you'll thank me later.

Also, Bunker.

for the love of god, bunker.

@heady mist tried going without bunker.

against chimera.

this last shift.

chain link fences with HV cables.

[pale pilot]

what are you talking abt?

[junior plume]

this.

[pale pilot]

camelot has a "bunker"

[junior plume]

bunker down Chem, sci, and medical

(the AME will automatically be covered with it.)

[pale pilot]

do u mean blast doors and chain links everywhere?

[junior plume]

blast doors are not needed

just chain links.

and station guns inside

slightly staggered so walkable

[pale pilot]

im not putting blast doors or chain links everywhere

or station guns wtf

[ember sluice]

Lame

[ember sluice]

Fair

[junior plume]

ugh, fine, I'm getting on to set you up, since you apparently hate surviving OR not getting your fucking AME blown up.

[pale pilot]

it makes sense to put them over the command bunker

dude I dont fucking want you to asshole

[junior plume]

the command bunker is as secure as a hooker's underwear.

I'm not assholing

[pale pilot]

stop railroading people into playing the game the way u wanna play

[junior plume]

I'm tellin' ya that there's a clear increase in survivability.

by doing something.

[pale pilot]

i dont just care about survivability dude

[junior plume]

we survived 45 chimeras alone.

*gobo couldn't survive 4 chimeras.

without it

[pale pilot]

i stg if u start moving all that shit inside im waiting for you to get off, removing the other commisar and moving it away dude

completely fucking unnecessary metagamey bullshit 40 minutes into the round

[junior plume]

I didn't say RIGHT NOW

I meant during the shift in general bro!

it's fucking necessary by hour 5:30.

it just is.

literally ask ANYONE that's about to hop on about it

[pale pilot]

i absolutely get putting blast doors over the command bunker doors because they get broken into all the time

but just around the station? and guns inside?

[junior plume]

blast doors are useless...

also i said those are for chimeras.

[pale pilot]

yeah u love chimera prepping when no one has mentioned them

you were doing that shit yesterday

[junior plume]

actually not really.

I only started after the sighting.

I heard the word "chimera" on broadband once

and that was all I needed to hear.

[junior plume]

Alright peeps, off I go to sleep.

Glory to the USSP.

[formal coyote]

the only camelot AI i've ever seen was named "Bob" and he just slept the entire shift

[halcyon apex]

So I’ve put some thought into it and really, all our ships (atleast the ones I’ve messed with) kinda get stomped the moment something out ranges it. Especially for a ship like the Tenguska.

Might need to play around with armoring up our ships more or actually trying to get tech

[junior plume]

Oh I know Nata, I know...

its fucking terrible, in fact.

Even camelot itself, the station, dies extremely quickly once outranged

[pale pilot]

tho only thing that outranges it is a wyvern really tho, right?

[junior plume]

I think so? I am not sure

[pale pilot]

Honestly, it super tracks

because all ads ships are "balanced" poorly

aka not balanced

anti balanced?

[lament fern]

So what im hearing is, we gotta put nuclear torpedos on everything?

[pale pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/ben-talking-ben-gif-24982337

[heady mist]

I wrecked and stripped an ADS ship and wanted to add the guns on the anaconda or tayfun. What is actually missing on the high tier ship ledokal. No shields. And when i wanted to add a shield, it was unable to build the shield around the ship.

[autumn belfry]

USSP ships using almost draconian levels of nuclear weapons in crude manners sounds oddly fitting for us

[heady mist]

no shields but better long range weapons? Sure.

[junior plume]

@pale pilot what the fuck?

fucking Ramming in a green zone?

I knew you were like, a fragger

but that's low.

even for you.

[pale pilot]

dude its a wyvern and it wasnt even docked

i got shit to do i cant wait another 30 minutes on top of the hour it took for them to get ready

specifically went around the safe zone as well

[junior plume]

it doesn't matter if it's Docked

@wind halo if a wyvern is at MD can a USSP tunguska just come over and ram it because they took too long to get ready?

[pale pilot]

ok dude if the admin wanna reprimand me fine im not gonna argue with u

it was either do something or ssd in a tunguska for an hour outside of md

idk what u dont understand about me having to leave the computer to go do things irl

[junior plume]

"I gotta SSD, so let's just ram the wyvern in a safezone and bring all my men with me for it"

[pale pilot]

dude it took them an hour to get ready for what should have been a 30 or 25 minute thing

the other group that was coming with us did it without us it took them so long

In hindsight I would have just cryod and done something else if I knew I was gonna be waiting that long to get started

[junior plume]

Announcement!

I'm up.

Anyone willin' hop on USSP, it's gaming time

[junior plume]

that's kinda.....

it ruins the point of safezones, but alright

[dark tangle]

it doesn't, the ADS is not who a safe zone exists to protect

but ADS laws needs updating, because even if they're not protected by the rules, they are protected by the shield and the concern of hitting the safe zone or protected players in it

notably, I said I felt like ADS shouldnt be allowd to use the safe zone, and the reply started with saying "theyre not", which I don't recall being spelled out anywhere but I would treat as true

so if you play ADS, assume trying to use a safe zone as a meatshield is 100% disallowed

[pale pilot]

not at all surprised by this

ADS laws allow you to engage docked military ships

and engage iffless/mil ships with no escalation

fuck em >:)

[dark tangle]

generally true but as far as I've read in the ADS lawset, this inability to use safezones isn't spelled out to ADS players and you are better served by just treating safezones as though ADS can use them and just ahelping about it, rather than risking blowing the shit up out of a safezone

[pale pilot]

i wouldn't have rammed a Zenith, fucking wyvern didnt budge an inch

[pale pilot]

but like, the lawset in general is just kind of ass

its not different per manip/core, and it details no heirarchy

[sinful thunder]

Hey man. Don't do this stuff, just make a report or DM an admin privately. Hell, even ahelp it if you didn't.

I'm about 85% sure we've come to the conclusion ADS are not protected under safezone rules.

[pale pilot]

dude is just witch hunting me so he can find a reason to belittle my opinions.

[snow scarab]

nickmarich has been warned.

[heady mist]

they blew up my ship that was docked on the safezone.

[pale pilot]

I will continue to kos ads

[halcyon apex]

Largest USSP fleet ever assembled.

fuckin 7 ships total

[night grove]

id add mine, but the ADS attacked while i was in the bathroom

[karmic delta]

the one time I am not in the USSP, I'm on the other side of there guns

[distant raven]

Truthnuke

i think that ram was valid

wyvern shouldnt even be at md

[dark tangle]

I don't entirely disagree, but it's not only about directly damaging the station. the CO/MD safe zones include a 256 meter area around those stations, so players might be flying in space and thinking they're safe, only to get sandwiched between the immobile Wyvern and a ramming vessel. even if a ship is just outside a safe zone, I would tend towards engaging in a different area or from an angle that ensures stray shots dont hit the safe zone either.

[distant raven]

its the wyverns fault for going to MD imo

Also its a ram

not shots fired

[dark tangle]

players might be flying in space and thinking they're safe, only to get sandwiched between the immobile Wyvern and a ramming vessel.

also, above all, the safe zone strictly prohibits hostile actions inside. trying to circumvent this except in situations of stopping safe-zone violators/raiders/etc should be assumed to have 0 validity. just treat the safe zone as consecrated ground, only instead of being excommunicado you could end up being banned for violating that rule.

[distant raven]

Refer to my point

The wyvern should not have been at MD in the first place?

it has an onsite medbay

[distant raven]

ADS dont get safezone rules applied to them

you are ALLOWED

[dark tangle]

but safezone rules still apply to the safe zone itself.

[distant raven]

to take down the sector level threat

[dark tangle]

do not violate the safe zone period

[distant raven]

??

ive seen people shoot guns at safezones and as long as no one was hit nobody did shit about it

[dark tangle]

hostile actions are not permitted inside of a safe zone

[distant raven]

admins were on btw

[dark tangle]

shooting a gun might be reckless, but is not inherently a hostile action

[distant raven]

The wyvern ram was valid holy hell

[dark tangle]

ramming an enemy ship is most certainly a hostile action

[distant raven]

???

ok youre just ragebaiting here

[dark tangle]

what do you believe hostile to mean? lol

[distant raven]

something... that can cause grievious harm...

[dark tangle]

also you could have meant ship guns here, which I would generally never fire inside a safe zone. as far as I've had admins explain it in no uncertain terms, you should assume that the spirit of the safe zone is all you should care about: avoid player and structural damage, and any otherwise even beginning any hostile actions from here, like boarding someone's ship with intent to ambush them and steal it after they leave (this was a real scenario I asked about)

[distant raven]

you fire a gun and the stray can infact damage someone

no im referring to regular guns

ship guns dont get fired at MD

[dark tangle]

while understandable, that is not what hostile means

[distant raven]

im not here to argue semantics ✌️

Said hostile action was permitted by admins and deemed valid

the wyvern ram, was in all aspects, considered legitimate by the ruleset

[dark tangle]

hostile is explicitly unfriendly or antagonistic

[distant raven]

because of the fact that the ADS is deemed exempt from safezone rules

[distant raven]

Yes, i am aware that the wreck COULD block out ships and potentially cause harm however it is NOT the direct cause of your action and moreso an adverse side effect

and since its a ram, there were no stray shots

[dark tangle]

so if Im magdumping a pistol into a wall, there's nothing hostile about it, despite clear potential for harm existing. you might call these semantics, but semantics are literally everything when it comes to the rules

[distant raven]

i just said im not arguing semantics

✌️

firing a gun in a public space feels hostile enough

[dark tangle]

respectfully, then you should not speak about rules

you just said "I dont care about words or what they mean", but thats what the rules are

[distant raven]

you're ignoring my other points

to go on this tangent

[distant raven]

no i am saying i do not care for the exact definition of words i care for the fairness that the rules provide

The rules do not have to be an end-all be-all theyre meant to provide a fun gameplay experience

thats why you get admemes where they are lifted

[dark tangle]

if anybody was wondering why I said "safe zone rules apply to the safe zone, not simply people within it", now you understand

[distant raven]

also honestly this was already resolved by the admins

genuinely zero point arguing about it

arguing for the sake of argument

[dark tangle]

if you want to fire on enemy ships inside the safezone and see how that works out for you, then that's your prerogative. I'll personally be following the clearly written rules and overall spirit of the safe zone, and not risking harm to new players or innocent civilians just hanging out at one of the two places they should be safe from the death and destruction that literally the entire rest of the galactic map is full of.

[pale pilot]

I got a 1 day ban for not talking to the admin about it after I did it

but I had to go pick up my meds so

i couldnt really do anything about that

Also Id like to point out that jetpacks have an IFF signature

ALSO ALSO, There is no way in hell the 1/5th of a tunguska thats left after ramming the wyvern is blocking any docking bays at MD

This was supposed to be a coordinated strike with TSF and USSP but the people I had at my disposal took an unacceptable amount of time to get ready and leave

which meant that the sector level threat was left to roam about virtually unscathed

[slim elm]

i hate all ussp mains

[pale pilot]

yeah well you watch charborg

stinky

[sinful thunder]

I will lock this thread if it's just going to continue being maldtopia.

Stop, just organize each other & play USSP. Have fun, bring problems to admins.

[night grove]

weh

[dark tangle]

is there any word on when the USSP ships get moved for mercenary use?

[halcyon apex]

Why would USSP ships get mercified

[dark tangle]

part of the incoming downgrade of USSP from actual faction to company, while also fulfilling the goal of buffing mercs

[night grove]

wtf

why?

[junior plume]

well

we're going out of being a main faction..

we'll become a "minor faction"

[pale pilot]

I would be surprised if they prioritized it

[junior plume]

Anyway

organization

[halcyon apex]

I drafted up a Camelot Defense Plan for Chimera threats, Yellow indicates defensive lines with Machine guns and people. Red indicates walls. The idea is to create 3 chokepoints for anything.

[halcyon apex]

This keeps AME, Med, and command safe. As I believe those are the most important areas

[halcyon apex]

We put it to practice

6+ Chimeras fade run

0 USSP Casualties

[halcyon apex]

FOUR CHIMERA WAVES REPELLED NOT A SINGLE CASUALTY

URAAAAA

damn dude xD

Glory.
Nata learned well ❤❤❤❤

[halcyon apex]

This strat works wonders I think we should implement it more

[junior plume]

I am so proud :D

[junior plume]

I'm on board with it!

[halcyon apex]

I’ll write up some more plans for other Camelot upgrades/defenses

[halcyon apex]

The fucking ASR Jupiter was brought in to help defend Camelot it was insane

[junior plume]

Usually I just fortify the AME, sci, medical and chem because I consider the command room bait. I want them to go there first to get alerted easier.

motion trackers are awesome for such

Also Im pretty sure I'm the only commi that actually fortifies so I'm very very proud of seeing you take example :DD

I am SO looking forward for more from you comrade.

[halcyon apex]

I wanted to keep the command center because it has several things I wanted to keep, the shipyard console, gunnery, servers, and the armory itself. While all our production was set up in SCI, I didn’t want to move everything to one spot. And we had enough men to hold the three choke points

[junior plume]

you did really well overall. The chimeras shall mald, Camelot stands.

[halcyon apex]

Over 10 Chimera killed 5 of them gibbed. It was, a good day.

[junior plume]

saving this in my breastpocket

[oblique glacier]

This’ll go hard for environmental storytelling when a crew of engineers comes to assist with repairs when Camelot goes radio silent a few months after some members of the Church of Unitology the Hive join the science team and start doing something weird in the chemistry lab 🔥🔥

(FYI, it’s a 3-member crew, and the lead engineer wears a salvage hardsuit (and is also INCREDIBLY hot))

[oblique glacier]

We USSPing⁉️⁉️

[pale pilot]

probably

[obtuse bough]

I just had a shift, just me and one other guy at the end

Wyvern and a ton of Asakim payed us a visit at Camelot and we were just kinda chill with them on fear of instant death

Their wyvern got ambushed and all the Asakim survived, flew over and took over our bar

[junior plume]

sorry about the commotion pookie

We ambushed them :3

[junior plume]

Gentlemen..
@lament pilot @heady mist @distant raven @night grove @dark tangle @lament fern @oblique glacier @obtuse bough @remote wasp @civic mica @halcyon apex @tiny coral @karmic delta @autumn belfry @pale pilot

The day has come for the hammer to hit the anvil.

it is today, that we say goodbye to the USSP as a major faction.

it is today, that the foreverwar ends... With the tide rising and swiping us by.

Many of you will refuse it. will give up, or leave, or be as crushed as I am to lose our one true standing.

However, I wish for you to know that I've not given up. neither on the faction, nor on you. And that there's still place for you within the union.

Even with some people's differences and refusal of accepting that things were over before they started, I believe still in a future.

a future, together. @mild igloo

i have not gotten in yet, but this loss hurts my heart just as bad

[civic mica]

Sad

Why not just leave it as it is even if its bad and outdated

We were already playing for just to love of it and without fragging around not that we could

[junior plume]

It's fine.

we'll perservere.....

Well

I'll be making a server for the Colossus sector USSP

dm me to join it

[civic mica]

How did the Camelot change

[junior plume]

it didn't

😭

[civic mica]

Does it still have defences and control room and armory

And who has access

[junior plume]

yes

[junior plume]

a role that doesn't exist anymore

(sobs)

[pale pilot]

ive already been moving onto other parts of the game. whatever is left of this just isnt going to be fun or interesting for me.

still dunno why u essentially rolled over and helped them get rid of it 😭

[civic mica]

The main fun part of the ussp would be gone too

The RD server with points and ships with mats

And the epic ramming ship

I only got to use it once

well

was nice having you while it lasted.

[obtuse bough]

Well comrades, we knew it was going to happen, I held some hope that it wasn't going to end up happening

I've seen a lot of you come together these past few weeks, I've definitely had the most fun and memorable moments I've had on this server

I'll miss the moments we can only have as a major factor, our kickass fleets, defending Camelot from Asher infiltration, ADS and Chimera raids and flinging Ledokols into Halcyon

Low-key, I'm pissed off we are relegated to a smaller faction now. At the same time, PART15AN is here to stay as my main, I'm hoping we get to continue doing the things that we have been; offering a secure Freeport and using our navy to combat sector threats.

I'm sure I'll see some of you around Comrades, I'll probably still be squatting in Camelot for the foreseeable, talking about the glory days

[karmic delta]

language Nova-Cygni
:p

Originally I started playing USSP to try the faction out and get time towards unlocking ASR. But I found a good group of people that made me put more time into the faction, to the point where id choose it first.

I wish I got to see the USSP in its hayday. But thank you all for giving me a place while it lasted.

#1432447876562288711 message

Hello USSP friends I shared here the issues with Camelot without USSP and some personal thoughts about why USSP was better as a faction and wishes about being a faction again

@junior plume I am sorry if you wanted to be a merc company instead of a faction but this just ain't going anywhere meaningful

Like there is just no point

For me atleast

I liked USSP because it wasnt full of LRP people while still being included in some combat and port strikes as a side fun

If you just want to roleplay as a space communist and dont care about the action part it still can be fun for you guys

Also the main reason of removal of the faction being there is no maintainers to keep it updated feels so weird none of the USSP mains cared about that anyways

I feel like the main reason was merc players wanting more stuff to frag around with

[pale pilot]

Yeah I genuinely have no idea, I think some of the people who introduced it just grew out of the creative style and have moved onto other passions, so at this point they just see it as the old and poorly made part of the server

[halcyon apex]

I'll never stop believing.

[halcyon apex]

If I knew how to dev SS14 I would

[civic mica]

You can do it if you try i believe in you

[halcyon apex]

yeah but the factions already gone ; - ;

[civic mica]

Yea you gotta be assertive and put out work first and then you gonna say hey do you guys remember this cool thing we had yes i kinda have ideas for it and its gonna be cool again and etc etc

But well if we dont get it back i guess i will still play from time to time

Mainly as MD merc with USSP gimmick

Get a Sekunda and pull up to MD save people dying

"USSP CIVIL RESCUE"

Why? Because its not your health its our health. *anthem plays

And just like that gonna crash the whole economy for capitalist ATU who only work for money

And then we gonna have bloody wars with each other

Because we steal their clients doing the same stuff as them but for FREE

Or atleast well

At a less fee

Yes

This is going to happen

[halcyon apex]

hell yeah

[slim elm]

do I

[civic mica]

https://github.com/Monolith-Station/Monolith/pull/2546

https://github.com/Monolith-Station/Monolith/pull/2547

Camelot loot is finally gone and there is a new poi of old ussp flagship

Would be cool to try to find it and repair to working condition before regular mercs

Sadly we cant use it to ram Halcyon anymore like thats just sad

Unless

We get hired by PDV

[obtuse bough]

I hope we can claim it one shift, we need a new haunt seeing as Camelot is in disrepair
And with Nick on a hiatus, we are currently leaderless

Are we cooked Comrades?

[urban herald]

Nick left cause people tlaked about military hardware and called russia's "superjet" hot trashj

[civic mica]

What is that

[civic mica]

We were already cooked

We are the real rogues now

Asr or pdv are posers

[pale pilot]

yall

u really want nick to be ur "leader"?

if thats srsly who we wanna elect than this faction does not deserve to exist 😬

[obtuse bough]

We never had an election ooc
There was one IC involving reps of all the major factions, not sure if or how many of our own were there
But yeah, the moment I heard of it I just thought of this scene
https://youtu.be/Yg48GsMJeaE?si=EnYIip_-Vn6v8KQk

[night grove]

huh....

[civic mica]

Okay i have no idea how to find this

Its basically a thermal signature in a huge ass map

Its not something to do once every few rounds but once in a life time with sheer luck lol

I think its not between POIs but at the edge of the map but how far the edge you know

[obtuse bough]

Does it?
I heard last night it spawned like 800m from Camelot, mercs and USSP were fighting over it immediately

[civic mica]

I mean idk

Its just luck

What if you get the overwatch radar console from camelot and put it to a ship

I think they are the best radars

So you have better changes of finding hidden stuff if it works

[slow vale]

raghhhhh

https://tenor.com/view/stan-twt-evil-chihuahua-twt-memes-dog-gif-2124557923355771903

[obtuse bough]

Comrades we're so fucking cooked now

I'm thinking of mapping in some replacements, my sense of ship balance isn't great tbh, but ship combat rebalance is soon (TM)

Like, I want at least one Tunguska replacement and something similar to the Natisk or Drakon

[pale pilot]

what did I tell yall

I said it dude

"Were not starting from scratch we swear! 🤓"

this place is gonna be like tarkov

12 years in development hell just for some guy to come along and suck any remaining passion out

[lilac cliff]

God i hope its not gonna suck, best case scenario is we get similar (or the same) ships with merc access for the lockers (hate haveing to break them every time), worst case scenario (and FUCK i hope they dont) ussp ships just get nuked and we're officially made into the bleak, pathetic "back in my day we used to be something" faction

I hope we still get that cargo shuttle (for whenever or IFever monos trading mechanics get added back), loved that thing

But ya, chances are im most likely just gonna be up keeping camelot, pretty nice thing to do to de-strees (at least until the FUCKING chimera or looters show up)

[slow vale]

I mean we could normalise, atleast when chimeras areactually showing up, shooting ships that approach without warning

[urban herald]

Be sure to give warnings at least when they are in shortband range

[slow vale]

(+calling that out in longrange)

[lilac cliff]

Ya that's what im starting to do, ngl a part of me actually kinda likes that we aren't a major faction, i miss having a comms channel, and speaking cygni standard (dispite Luka canonically being a native speaker of it, there's now no server i play on that has it 😢), i do like kinda being able to do whatever. I just wish Camelot was more popular, i feel like a lot of interesting things could be done there

[obtuse bough]

I haven't played in a good while now tbh

I've had one shift after USSP was turned into a company and yeah, the lack of Comms, base, shared resources, etc. kinda hit home. When we were a faction, you could easily buddy up and work together, I feel like that's harder as a company

I'm just trying to get some more USSP content going, player companies need content to stay relevant (look at UI for example), this is why the ship removals had me a bit worried for the USSP's future

https://github.com/Monolith-Station/Monolith/pull/2679

I've got this PR up, just as a start really
Next thing I'm eyeballing is some of the Paradise station drip, like this

[pale pilot]

yeah Idk dude. I have zero faith they will put effort into implementing these positive changes

Im still pretty certain it was removed for personal taste reasons and all this other bullshit was just a convenient excuse

time will tell wether or not they care about looking at these.

But they said in the poll discussion that they were not and did not plan on replacing any USSP ships, just that theyd get moved to Mercs.

[astral elbow]

No promises regarding USSP, but I fully agree its sorta wack

Keeping any faction in a fun place is horrendously difficult

Replacing ships will probably be a long term project, its not feasible otherwise

[obtuse bough]

It has to be long term (Also bawk chicken man, good to hear from you), I know a few ships got done at the drop of a hat, but there is quite a line up to get through
My fear, kinda like, what Tarku has said is:

Welp, that's all the MED/TSF/etc. ships done
-# What about the USSP
What about em?

I'll be real, unless the ships are at least partially saved and we get new content, we'll fizzle out into another one of those nothing companies

And yup, biases do play a role in this, even at a subconscious level, and fuel on the fire when reading material was being suggested and all sorts of nonsense

[slow vale]

i mean the old ship aren't that bad, but company pdas would be nice where we get access to the old ones (or are they gone now? haven't been on in a logner time

[obtuse bough]

All the USSP stuff is just sort of... There, exactly as it was
It would be a flick of switch-esque task to reimplement the faction

My PR actually pulls from existing loadout entries for USSP generally, as a loadout subgroup, my intention is to use that for future USSP loadout content

Current PDA does not match shiptest sprites, and the ID has redundant accesses. There's also job titles and the like. I think it would need it's own PR, current one is already a bit bloaty.
Company PDAs/IDs in general though is a good idea

[slow vale]

(Could that been mine btw? (Cashmir Ironhand) with the depressurised cargo bay tht i pressurized?

[obtuse bough]

I don't think so? Last Faction shift I had was with Swims-In-Blood, 2 of us manned Camelot, Wyvern was nearby and got glassed, all the Asakim, 10 or so, survives and just decided to move into Camelot at shift end

There was some good LARP, it was a memorable way to end my last faction shift

[slow vale]

Yup, that wasn't mine, we didn't get much camelot action

[obtuse bough]

Merged
Enjoy the drip comrades and we can finally remember how to speak our langauge again

[remote wasp]

Huzzah

[hazy shadow]

count me in

[lilac cliff]

Yes! Nice

[night grove]

remember

[civic mica]

Im just here to post Teto

[slow vale]

Yessssss

[sour flower]

I'm not directly a part of you guys but I will stand with you all getting more so long as you leave the server vendor public

Is there a USSP radio key btw

[pale pilot]

There use to be

[obtuse bough]

It still technically exists
In-game though, I don't think so
I'd like to PR it back in, but unlikely to happen tbh

The ideal solution would be giving all player companies their own Comms but, it would need some new systems and coding

[remote wasp]

Personally the custom comm key idea that was floating around was a thought

[obtuse bough]

I would think custom comm keys are doable in YAML I'd have to test it. I would imagine slapping handicomm components on an encryption key might work

[remote wasp]

Yep

https://discord.com/channels/1329292619834069034/1441948807452426320
Yea it was this suggestion that I remember folks talking about it

[urban herald]

I mean you could just add USSP Comms to loadout + the vendor

[dense sluice]

USSP clan? Yes please put me down

Willow Picard

[pale pilot]

boss. Ussp is kill :/

[dense sluice]

no

[low root]

I wish someone would read my draft for the new USSP. I really like the idea of this left-over remiant enclave.

Like I want the collapse of the ussr but in space.

People kinda forget that the end of the ussr didn't outright mean the end of communism over night or even the end of the ussr.

As there is still some states to this day which claim to still be apart of the ussr. Or at least it's official successor.

I also don't like the lore that the USSP it's self is dead. I think it makes most sense that they just no longer directly occupy the sector.

And what remains is basically a inspired but separate state. I'm more enfavor of a less authortian, and more democratic council of unions and others invested in maintaining the USSP infunstucture in the sector.

[pale pilot]

like a USSP funded revolutionary cell

[low root]

Ay something like that.

[civic mica]

I said that when we first got removed that the ussp is now a lot more rogue like than the actual rogues which was asr at the time and now they even removed all the asr and made it a full blown faction like tsf so it would actually be a nice idea to make a actually rogue small faction/cell

[civic mica]

Also merry Christmas

[obtuse bough]

A part of me does like the change in the direction that we are a remanent force and the USSP is in slow decline, a slow decline on a Galactic scale though
Bare in mind, in terms of the... mostly existing/estabilished lore, USSP is the second biggest superpower in terms of size
I was working on USSP origins but have been a bit sidetracked, but what I've written so far follows the general progression of the USSR irl with the first Autarch being a Lenin/Stalin inspired character and the 2nd instigating Kruschev style reforms

But in terms of what is happening in the Sector, I think USSP being a more diverse group is a good thing, ex Navy who have gone Lord of War, some who have dropped the ideology completely, hardliners who cling to the hope for an intervention from the Autarch, etc. but all unified by necessity more than anything

Hold on I'm being dumb, basically, we are a basically a satellite state that is inspired by the USSP?
Sounds cool, I suggest you look at what Paradise are doing with the RDU, which is their new USSP, it's similar in nature in that the USSP is made up of a lot of semi-independant worlds

[low root]

Ye I think something like this. On another channel I wrote up some lore I'll drop here.

To my understanding the sector was once under USSP control but they had to leave. So, the USSP remiants is what is left of the regional governance without the USSP banner.

[dense sluice]

Camelot is active at the moment.

[lusty hinge]

I love the USSP because they give me funny space rocks and tell me to experiment with them… AND I get paid for it

[vast igloo]

Glory to the USSP 🫡

also yeah all for USSP being readded as a faction tbh because no one ever really uses USSP Taccom anymore except as their exceptional 'private radio' as a non-USSP

[obtuse bough]

This happening?
I readded Comms, like what, a few days ago?

[vast igloo]

Yeah seen some foreigners utilizing it that way

foreigners as in, the quirk

[obtuse bough]

I specifically added the Headset only to loadouts to try avoid it
... They weren't speaking Nova Cygnia? USSP language is a trait

[vast igloo]

No they weren’t speaking Common

which everyone was using on taccom since no more USSP faction

I don’t think they were speaking nova. Unsure since I don’t have nova

since.. no USSP faction to give me nova and I already got my quirks filled out

[obtuse bough]

Oh right, eh...
I still dream of a way of having USSP and Paycheck Bratva members having NC by default
I heard company code is cursed, so I've yet to look into it

Generally, I'd like companies to give traits and loadout options specific to them, in a faction-esque way.
I want company choice to matter more (mechanically), not just funny iff colour

[vast igloo]

I think company code is cursed in the way it acts to ship IFFs

since those are a core mechanic of 14 they’re probably really intertwined with a lot of other systems

anyways gtg nice chat

[gusty gull]

ussp is stronger now comrades

ussp has raided tsf with capital ship fleet

and nuke fleet

ussp not dead

[lusty hinge]

It’s like viltrum in invincible trust

[plain zodiac]

I mean, there was that one time 7 burans worked with the PDV to Glass the Halycot

[lament leaf]

I too will help this cause

[plain zodiac]

Something something, Glory.

[sour flower]

Last round I played in the USSP managed to become enough of a Problem they got shot up by the PDV

Then some other guy glassed them for other reasons

[lapis hare]

Comrades! USSP defeated a flyssa with a hammerhead last night after they shot first

[frosty wagon]

Honestly this should be a company discord at this point

[obtuse bough]

Fair point
It's been brought up before, and tbh, put that one on the long finger
With the Roles within the USSP making a comeback, lore being cooked and all that good stuff, it's probably time tbf
It's the memories of the last USSP-cord that's probably poisoned my view on metacords a bit

[lapis hare]

I haven’t been in a faction discord and probably maybe never will (unless Oleg drags me in) but I’m always down to cooperate. Just throw rank at Aery and she’ll throw down for the union. Otherwise It’s Sanitar duty.

[alpine vessel]

What happened with it?

[lilac cliff]

well, the easiest way to put it, look at the first post on this thread, that guy made the metacord, its entire existence could be summarized by that first post or basically "USSP gone, monolith sucks now, lets make our own mono with blackjack and USSP"

he left, we actually started doing things, he came back, things went off track again, he left again, and pretty much here we are now

if anything the USSP are the precursors to this whole "metagang"/wl company/minor faction thing and its not exactly something we're too proud of (well, i can only really speak for myself here, but a lot of us are at least hesitant to fully embrace the metagang status)

[zenith canopy]

i love communism
