Independent characters... - Dra1003 - 07-10-2008
Ive seen a bunch of people without faction tags that have the factions ID ship and such so.. Is it ok to make a crosair LN lsf Etc char without applying to the faction recruitment thread of those factions thus being independent or is it generaly frowned apon?
Note: i dont plan on doing this... yet i just wanted to know before i did it

actually, that is what the standard of every independent player must be. Though, some factions also require a serious backstory on your character to allow you to fly their gear (like RM). But that of course, should ALSO be a standard for every independent. Edit: and faction player of course.

ah ok the only real reason i didn't do that was because i didn't know whether i would make people mad at me or not. there were also two other factions i wanted to have characters on but i couldnt think of a good background story at the time.. anyway thanks for replying

biggest problem with independents is that when they do something that is frowned upon they are not identified as independents but by the faction they choose. This permits independents to continue with what they are doing and leaves the factions to deal with the chaos.

trust me.. you will not have that problem with me. ive read about all the faction laws and etc so there wont be any problems
another reason i might do this is so i can RP with more people it can get lonely when none of my fellow faction members are on when im on my KNF character or my rogue.

You do your research into the faction and RP it properly without any oorp behavior and you will have no problems. Just don't do anything Major.. like starting a way with someone...heh

That's simply untrue. Factions like to exaggerate in order to justify forcing people under their control or off the server.

Wanna Bet.
Most of the complaints against Bounty Hunters are not targetted towards clan operated Hunters but Independents that raid pirate bases. Several times I have heard of people complaining about multiple Bounty Hunter battlecruisers going after Crete or Malta. Last I checked there is only 1 or 2 Bounty Hunter playerfactions (clans) here and I doubt that the other playerfaction (clan) is doing it.
I could really care less at this point in time what Independenty operated BH do as neither clan has the right to say anything to them. But any negative feedback is not directed at the Independents but is in fact aimed directly at the faction in general. Which DOES include any clans that are associated with that faction as well.
