Now i'm going to be completely honest with you, i don't know how possible, how logical and how fun could it be, BUT hear me out, we all know govfor has different factions, having access to different stuff

what if we commit to the bit and also make it for xenos and CLF? Colonist kiiiiiinda have this due to map? but it'd be very hilarious a minning colony in the middle of the forest with no caves.

Anyways memes aside, on the appearance of more xeno strains, aswell as perhaps even more in future, it could be interesting to make a similar stuff for xenos, like govfor and opfor, xenos could have different access to evolutions and strains, however since they don't use guns (hopefully) they'll also gain certain buffs, including the queen having some different stuff too maybe

The same way for CLF, and similar to GOVFOR it would kinda balance out some weapons, since they'll be only accessed to a certain faction or so (hell all factiosn should have their "master weapon" at the very least)

This would open for even more histories, imagine LACN getting planetside due to a distress signal, only to have to fight a xeno hive that specialises in ressisting their bullets better, forcing them to change to explosives or fire

or how about CLF faction that specialises of sending men and women with parachutes to save the colony?

(i am aware there could be chuds who'll try to force a side to be weaker but that's mostly a cultural problem, this could be worked around by tying a xeno faction with the govfor faction for example, same with CLF basically)

this thread could be used for me to submit different factions aswell as anyone, and also i am mostly curious of the opinion on how could this work out

#

the parentesis what i try to say is:

when voting for a govfor faction instead of just voting for LACN it will randomly pick a CLF/Xeno faction along side it, so for example

LACN | CLF NAVY
USCM | CLF PARADROPPER

etc etc

then the next round the vote will be different and so on

#

(yes i know the game is in playtest yet, but when it does get bigger it could be fun to implement if possible)

-1 for hive strains tho as it would just be clutter imo and make things even more confusing for new players

... oh...

imo

#

it's fine to think that too i was mostly thinking about maybe separating the strains and evolutions accessed so people can kinda learn easily in the round what they got? but that's also true

#

i didn't know that was requested tho

#

atleast i am happy someone did it

I definitely see the idea and there is potential but the CLF is completely assymetrical so specifically ideas like a CLF Orbital Navy or CLF Paradrop force isn't really tenable, the CLF wouldn't have standing units

what they could have are different styles of Cells loosely inspired by different historical insurgencies, and this would mostly function through item availability and cost as well as objectives

Radical Fundamentalists like GWOT Fundamentalist groups, Separatist groups like the IRA, Covert resistance groups like the Free French

Yeah more insurgent factions is something im very interested in and will be needed for the UPP govfor
