Scrin vs. Rebels (part 1) -, What to do about the rebels Options

[Team Black]

One issue with the two part release of Scrin vs. Rebels, is that the Rebels will have to be ditched for the second release.
What should we do about this?

Plan A: Scrin and Rebels will be incomplete/small factions have different tech, but IN PART 2, both side's technology will be COMBINED to form a complete Scrin side, which will be balanced to fight fairly against GDI and Nod
We might have to skip multiplayer in Part 1

Plan B: Scrin and rebels will be complete & balanced sides, available in single and multiplayer.
This will be a pain and a lot of time to do, and we'll have to ditch the Rebels for the second part anyways..

Plan C: Both Scrin and Rebels will have the same technology. This would enable a decent multiplayer, but it should be good enough to make a campaign out of.
and we wouldn't have the problem of creating a whole side just to ditch it in Part 2

Or something else. What should we do with the rebels?

be sure to stay on topic ;D

I'm going with A.

Now, aside from the Scrin and the rebels... I'm sure you've read Ishmael's post about the options they had for the origin of the Tacitus. One of them was that he Tacitus was the sole prison for the martian leader that figured out how to defeat the Scrin, but was too Late. The other was that the Tacitus was simply the Scrin's bible, which I take as some kind of database which contains all information and technology they have (which if you think about it, doesn't sound thát far fetched).

Now we're going to have the same choice for the origin of the tacitus. In the case that we'd go with the tacitus being really a prison for that martian leader, we'd also need a martian side (which in my opinion could make the first part of this mod a lot more interesting). However, just like I stated over at Petroglyph, I don't really understand that if the Tacitus would really be a prison, how Nod could've been able to extract technology from it. So if we go with this option, I think that would need to be figured out.

So to keep it simple, if we go with the "Tacitus = sole prison for martian leader" option, we'll have 3 factions for the first part of the mod (The Scrin, the Scrin rebels and the Martians) and if we go with the "Tactus = Scrin bible" option, there will only be the 2 you just mentioned.
