Any outstanding bonds redeemed after 4 weeks can be redeemed for 125,000 Credits. And any outstanding bonds that are NOT Redeemed after 1 month can be redeemed for 150,000 Credits.

After 2 Months, any bonds purchased and not redeemed will be voided.

Thank you gentlemen.

' Wrote:This post is an official part of server rules listed here: Discovery Server Rules. This part was written to make faction creation procedure as clear as possible, while containing all required regulations. Please read attentively if you wish to create a faction, gain a home system or know more about how this should be done.

Faction Membership

First of all: player is owner of the account. Character is a character on this account (up to 5 on each account).

Each character can only be part of one faction. Different characters from one account can be part of different factions.

ID Tag Rules

When a faction is being created, leader chooses an ID that all its members will equip. Having this ID is essential for all characters of the faction who reached level 40.

It is possible for any faction or any group to choose any ID that they like. Including even IDs that were already taken by system-owning factions, Neutral ID and Freelancer ID. The latter two IDs are quite easy to get, so if the group does not want to be NPC-aligned, they are the proper choice.

However, not all IDs or NPC affiliation will grant your faction right to have the home system.

I. How to create basic faction, clan, group without affiliation or home system?

1) Each faction has only one leader. When creating a faction, leader cannot be member of any other faction. Leader must also have at least one character of level 50 or above.

2) Leader should choose an ID tag that all members of the group will get after level 40.

2) Leader should post faction announcement in Discovery Factions forum. You may announce your goals, roleplay alignment and all other information you find important. The more the better. You may also announce recruiting. As soon as you'll get at least 3 members from different accounts, your group becomes a faction.

No administrator approval needed here. However, you shouldn't forget that our server is roleplaying one. Admins may reject your faction if it's out of acceptable limits, though we do allow a good deal of freedom here.

3) After the faction has 3 or more members, leader should post in Discovery Faction Status thread. Requirements for post are listed in that thread.

List of faction players must be included! If you don't have complete player list, post at least one player from each account. This is essential.

II. How to get a home system?

There are 29 faction systems that you may get in Discovery 4.81. All those systems are near systems that have bases of appropriate faction inside. For example, you'll find Xenos system near Kepler. On the map here, all faction systems are noted in red:



Not all of those 29 factions are free for claiming, and even if they are, there are requirements a faction should satisfy to get a system.

In addition to that, you may claim empty systems, but they won't be filled with objects until next Discovery version is released.

Existing system-owning factions:

Asgard Warriors - [AW] - Zoners
BlackSquadron - Bs| - The Order
Rheinland Military - [RM] - Rheinland Military
Sirius Federation - [SF] - Bretonia Armed Forces

You can check the map to see where their systems are located.

List of available IDs and requirements for getting a system

It's well-known that some Freelancer NPC factions are more powerful than the others. To get a home system, factions that choose different alignment must have different number of members from different accounts (or different number of people who joined the faction). This number ranges from 3 to 8.
