In regards to a new content submission, we have several hurdles to overcome. This list here is what I believe is required, and I know this won't match watch the development team requires. As I work on this list in the coming days I will include relevant links. Please could we have some guidance on the following -
1) The Lore and faction writeup.
In most regards this is as complete as I can have it without development team input. I need to know what works for you guys, and more importantly what won't work. We are trying some trial RP on the forums, this is more to get a feel for this potential faction ourselves as opposed to actual community orientated RP. Please don't feel we are jumping the gun, we are simply trying to work out how these aliens could be played here on GC as it is a very different environment to our previous server.

2) The Ship Models.
This has been done from scratch by Unlucky_Soul. It is not his first time modeling, but it is his first time modelling potential Freelancer ships. We are now at the stage where we are experimenting with hardpointing these models. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.
Links - TBA
3) Station/System submissions.
As we recently discovered (no pun intended), the Phantom assets are being recycled in Update 7. What we need to know is do we need to do anything in this regard? Is it possible to use a Temple like the one in Omicron 82 for this faction?
4) ID and Infocards
This is my next job, and is something I have some experience with. Do these need to be fully coded, or can we submit the material in plain text and you guys take it from there?
5) The things I have undoubtedly overlooked.
Is there anything else? Please bring it to my attention. We are a small group of diehard RPers working on an idea and that may have resulted in tunnel vision in regards to other content we may need to include. We do not claim to be experts in anything other than overactive imaginations.
Please, please, and thank you to the unlucky developer that decides to answer this post. Yes we need some guidance, and are not to proud to ask for it. We would greatly like to see this succeed, and believe the possibilities are potentially very great in terms of community benefit. We just need to be nudged in the right direction.
This is currently on hold while we build ourselves up to official faction status using gear already ingame. Thank you aerelm for pointing us in the right direction.
