Clandestine Flag?

[Surrealistik]

What does this flag insinuate? Star Gods or something else?

[ohartenstein23]

Something else for me; track it or shoot it down and find out?

[greattuna]

I only saw that flag once, on a crackdown sentry. So I shot it down, only to find ~5 humanist activists with gauss pistols and SR laser pistols.

I had a Pogrom spaw off a Comm Wave with this flag. It was Humanists

[ivandogovich]

I've seen mixed humanist and govt crews in "Clandestine" flagged contacts, as well.

[Surrealistik]

As long as it isn't Ethereals, s'all good.

Killing govt crews in clandestine wont lower your score right?

[nrafield]

It still does. But I kill them anyway for daring to show up in pogroms, unless they panic and drop their weapons. How ironic for military police.

Mayne a covered and secret govt. organization, yet illegal, which purpose is tonexterminate mutants? If so i like it, we'll see if that thing gets deepened in next version(s)

[khade]

I usually try to club them, so they live long enough to know they made a poor choice.

[Surrealistik]

Downed a Sentry trying to find my HQ; apparently Clandestine = human activists with heavy plasmas? What the fuck? Dioxide, is there a lore explanation for this? Is the Governor secretly working with Humanists or what?

EDIT: Space Ranger weaponry; still though, wtf.

[Dioxine]

Govts can get their paws on limited amounts of Plasma & similar weapons, and Activists have ties to the (bad) govts.

[Surrealistik]

Yeah, I figure they're in bed with a number of Govts, but it's particularly strange because even elite Govt troops (the Sam Fisher guys) don't have this weaponry.

[niculinux]

Hey, i think they're like death squads, that may be their purpose!

[Surrealistik]

Death Squads dressed in white robes? You'd think they'd be Stormtroopers or Govt Elites.

Also these guys were piloting a surveillance vessel.


That said I really like the idea of Clandestine flag Govt death squads consisting exclusively of plasma armed Elites and tanks, especially from countries subverted by the aliens doing Crackdown and Pogrom missions.
