//This is now officially completely and utterly an ooRP thread for feedback, comments, etc. I will try and sort the page out as an up-to-date ooRP info page as well in the near future.

Volksfracht: We put the Go in Cargo

//WIP: Feedback here is welcome and appreciated

I'm quite flexible on the details, so if anyone likes the basic idea I'm open to suggestions on everything (including the name!), and yes the logo looks like it just walked in from 1987 on purpose!

Looking for traders, escorts/bounty hunters, people who like to do a bit of forum RP.

Contact: PM on forums, or skype: the.yak_1

ID: Freelancer (see ID notes below)
IFF: Freelancer
Tag: [VF]



Who are Volksfracht (or whatever it may end up being called):
Rheinlanders... yup, that means no Bretonians, Libertians or Kusarians... or Gallics
Character backgrounds: Usually either an ex-employee of the big RheinCorps, or self-employed Freelancers. Almost certainly "working class", I mean what self-respecting Rheinlandic billionaire would join a left-wing, socially-responsible company with second-hand furniture?
Bit of background on my character, although it is more of a personal message dump than a character bio and lots is missing from this server-wipe I've heard of: Kaninchen Express: Kapitan's Log


Ideology:
Liberal-Patriotism: Equal opportunities policy... but only if you're from Rheinland
Human Rights: Against slavery and the extreme exploitation or neglect of workers
Social Responsibility: Campaign and educate against violence, drug abuse and poverty within Rheinland

Basically in gameplay terms this means:
Liberal-patriotism: Avoiding dealings with the large "socially-irresponsible" Rheinland corps and covert support of Left-wing rebel groups, including boycott of Synth Paste from Stuttgart.
Human Rights: Again, not fans of Daumann, Kruger, Republican. Also cargo interdiction of slave-traffikers.
Social Responsibility: Take part in suitable forum and in-game RP (for example IMG's "Project: New Life"). Also bounty hunting of foreign unlawfuls, their supporters and drug traffikers.

Note: "Avoid dealings with" means preferential work with other corporations/organisations, NOT pirating/attacking/completely ignoring these corporations.


Shiplines:
Sirius Civilian and Rheinland Civilian ships
Trade ships: Behemoth, sometimes Serenity with Rheinland engines!
Combat ships: TBC

Ship Naming Conventions:
Trade Ships: Names of herbivores in german (e.g. [VF]-Grunzochse)
Combat Ships: Names of carnivores in german (e.g. [VF]-Tiger)

Trade Ships:
Foods, drinks, other consumer goods, particularly the export of Rheinbier and Cigars
Sometimes fuels, and RP supply requirements from other factions
Occasional smuggling of Blood Diamonds and various weaponry
Never slaves, cardamine, artifacts, synth paste/gel

Combat Ships:
Escorting [VF], friendly lawful/quasi-lawful traders
Escorting/assisting Rheinland unlawfuls against foreign unlawfuls
Assisting Rheinland lawfuls against foreign unlawfuls
Cargo interdiction in Omegas and Sigmas


History:
Well, I'm looking for people to start the company, so there is no history other than individual character background stories.


Diplomacy (Primarily based on my current freelancer ship KaninchenExpress and related RP. As such, many organisations are in the "Unlisted Factions" category for now)

We like a lot:
Red Hessians
LWB
Bundschuh
IMG

We kind of like:
RFP
ALG
BMM

We're on the fence:
RM
Unioners
Unlisted Factions

We don't like very much:
Daumann
Kruger
Republican
Synth Foods

We very much do not like
Corsairs
Outcasts
Rogues
Golden Chrysanthemums
Lane Hackers
(Slaver's Union, once I've seen them with their slaves)
Anyone else who regularly deals with slaves and cardamine



ID Notes:
Self-imposed restrictions on the FL ID (Primarily restrictions on bounty hunting, including a ZoI), obviously unenforcable under server rules, and the details probably need some ironing out. But basically when I read my FL ID, what I will see is:

RE: WIP: Volks Fracht (Feedback would be lovely!) - Venkman - 03-15-2016

So is this like Hogosha, but in Rheinland or I'm wrong?

RE: WIP: Volks Fracht (Feedback would be lovely!) - Yak - 03-15-2016

Certainly could see some similarities.

Less involved with shady dealings though, and certainly concerned with staying right-side of the law.

Involvement with Revolutionary factions would be more out of principle than for economic reasons, in fact support of RH/Bundschuh/LWB would probably cost money rather than make it.

RE: WIP: Volks Fracht (Feedback would be lovely!) - Yak - 03-18-2016

Name updated from "Volks Fracht" to "Volksfracht". (Tempfixed the banner Smile )

Shipline and naming conventions updated.

Also, @Venkman, probably missed out an important difference with the Hogosha. Although VF is a group of Rheinland nationalists, most captains probably don't have any problem with non-Rheinlanders, rather the refusal to employ foreigners is based on their priority towards supporting fellow Rheinlanders, as opposed to any active prejudice against foreigners. Individual characters may despise foreigners though, but that would be down to them, not company policy.

I didn't read the OP entirely, but did you think of using Synth Foods ID?
Just a random suggestion, good luck on your project!

EDIT: NVM, I should've taken a look at your reputation.

Would come very wrong, given LWB butchers Synth Foods. Freelancer ID would be the best for such a faction, as an interim ID before final decisions and diplomacy would be made.
