[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]Welcome to the Starting Program of Discovery - 2012
[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]First of all I wish to say greetings to all of you new folks around, just to say that I personally want to make sure you find your joy here, on this server. First and only thing you should know about me is that I'm one from the Server Angels and my job is to help you mortals! "pointing his finger directly on you behind screen"
There can be few ways for you to end up here:
There can be few ways for you to end up here:
- You talked with me in game and I pointed you to Discovery forum and this thread
- You already reached this forum by yourself or help of another angel and now you are seeking for help
- You find your way here because of my spiritual energy
[font=Franklin Gothic Medium] It really doesn't matter, you will get necessary help but you'll need to show me some good will to learn. So, I'll start with this:
Role play on this server can be confusing with all stuff surrounding it and with so many factions around, simply I know how lost you feel. All you need to do is read and learn few basic things about each house in this game.
Liberty
Liberty or the Republic of Liberty is the title of one of the four original houses in Sirius. Liberty occupies the central systems of the core worlds, giving it the position of the commercial hotspot of Sirius - a position which the house knows how to exploit. The Liberty Navy is known for frequently patrolling independent systems connected to it's sovereign territory.
Bretonia
Bretonia, or the United Kingdom of Bretonia is the title of one of the four original houses in Sirius. It's territory extends across many systems on the western side of The Barrier, with various claims to systems bordering the Walker Nebula as well as ones deep within The Barrier itself. It is a constitutional monarchy with the monarch (King or Queen) representing the state while the parliament presides over the government. Bretonian sovereign territories border the systems of Omega-3, Magellan, Cortez and Tau-31. The Armed Forces having just recently come out of a long standing conflict with the Kusari Empire in the Tau systems, are now faced with an invasion by forces of the Gallic Royal Navy. Fighting is prevenlent within the Taus, Leeds, Newcastle and Edinburgh. Armed Forces patrols are also frequent in the system of Omega-3.
Kusari
Kusari or the Kusari Empire (鎖帝国 Kusari Teikoku) is the title of one of the four original houses in Sirius. The Kusari is a small yet expansive house, with significant forces holding the four core systems (New Tokyo, Kyushu, Shikoku, Honshu) and claims and patrols to many other lesser systems surrounding them. Kusari influence stretches from the distant Tau-31 system to Sigma-19, effectively occupying the entirety of the known lower northern Sirius sector. Kusari is currently engaged in a war with Bretonia over the sovereignty of the Tau-31 system.
Rheinland
Rheinland, or the Federal Republic of Rheinland (Bundesrepublik Rheinland) (formerly the Rheinland Empire) is the title of one of the four original houses in Sirius. It's territory extends from the fringes of the Crow Nebula to the yellow clouds of the Walker Nebula, with territorial claims deep inside the nebula itself. It is a parliamentary republic ruled by a Chancellor as head of state, while the Reichstag (the Rheinland parliament) is heading the government. Rheinland sovereign territories border the systems of Sigma-13, Omega-11, Omega-7, Hudson and Bering. The state military maintains it's bases in several systems connected to Rheinland by jump holes, such as Omega-15.
Gallia
Gallia, or the Kingdom of Gallia (Le royaume de Gallia) is a house formed from the sleeper ship Gallia, which set out after the others in secret. It arrived near Sirius quite far from the other sleeper ships, and until 817 A.S. the colony maintained complete isolation from the rest of Sirius. The Kingdom of Gallia is a monarchy, and the Crown has spent the past seven hundred years building a massive armada with which to invade Sirius. Gallia's people and armies are said to be vastly more numerous than that of any other house.

[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]Chapter II - Basics are Finished
[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]
You've meet all the five houses in space, now you need to imagine them like states in real world with government, corporations, law enforcement units, economy, crime, because everything is same . Somehow this is a virtual life of yours, where you will be able to act on your own and imagine your characters like you wish, so do remember that you can lead your characters with your own imagination.
Lawful factions are there to defend interest of their state, law of they state and are supposed to be gentle with moral to defend citizens of their own house. Official factions are running the show, so basically you can't run role play that isn't supported by the leader of official faction and you can't run role play that is totally different from the role play of official faction. Remember to act by the law of house you are in.
Unlawful factions are bit easier, they don't have laws, in fact they are breaking laws of the other houses followed by their own interest to survive, make easy money and some do fight governments of their houses because of different ideology. All in all they aren't persons with moral and dignity.

Discovery Starting Program - 2012 - Fate - 07-27-2012
Very good starter helper system/topic. Although I prefer to earn my own money (and my current character is a "dummy" character to test things out in the first place):P
Is this 10 million creds you're giving out, coming from your own pocket or is this a "donation from the server"?
Discovery Starting Program - 2012 - SummerMcLovin - 07-27-2012
Seems good, but you've said that Kusari is still at war with Bretonia for Tau-31.
Discovery Starting Program - 2012 - _FUNK - 07-27-2012
It's great that you've spend a good amount of time writing this, but how can you include something like this:
"Unlawful factions are bit easier, they don't have laws, in fact they are breaking laws of the other houses followed by their own interest to survive, make easy money and some do fight governments of their houses because of different ideology. All in all they aren't persons with moral and dignity."
All of the things written in this paragraph are wrong. Some unlawful actions do have laws (or rules, same). Making easy money? Don't think so. A trader with 4000 cargo space makes 40 million in one run, a loner pirate will make much less if asking reasonable fees. Aren't persons with moral and dignity? That was the most absurd one. Having factions that throw their lives away for the sake of a different and better ideology = no moral and dignity? All in all being unlawful is a lot more harder than being lawful, so don't mislead new players like that. The experience I've had as a pirate (who does not pirate that much, for one reason or another) is that I will most surely be chased by groups of people, even if I have not been aggressive towards them. In reality you might be a very morally straight and dignified pirate, but you will still be chased like a pig by most people out of fear and hate towards 'pirates in general'.

Very well done koske. I think this deserves to be pinned. non?
Discovery Starting Program - 2012 - koske - 08-01-2012
Fate,
To collect your award of 10.000.000SC you'll need to finish two steps and when you are done with them you should post me some evidence here.
Secondly I would like to see your interest on some faction I listed in the post. I would like to see results of my work in activity hours for some trader/miner faction, because you will get experience and you will earn more credits which will result in creating more chars, so basically that means more activity to other factions to.

I joined the Junkers in-game, I got their IFF and proper vessel (CSF). Checking the factions, it seems I can only join one faction because of my alignment, The Junkers Congress.
I hope I'm missing something here because having only one faction available is pretty sucky.

' Wrote:I joined the Junkers in-game, I got their IFF and proper vessel (CSF). Checking the factions, it seems I can only join one faction because of my alignment, The Junkers Congress.Each character you make can only be part of one faction (it wouldn't really make sense for them to have more), although you can give them other ships to use in that faction.
I hope I'm missing something here because having only one faction available is pretty sucky.
Each Account ID can have 5 ships, and if you use Account Manager or Launchpad you can use as many IDs as you want. This allows you to join as many factions as you have time for, and of course only those you want to be part of.
Also, a lot of NPC factions will only have the one official player faction since that is the rule. However, there are some with unofficial and/or secondary factions you can join, or just stay as an indy and play in-game.
Discovery Starting Program - 2012 - Fate - 08-02-2012
I am a bit confused now. Is that 5 different ships or 5 different characters?
Either way, is there a way to transfer money between those?
Discovery Starting Program - 2012 - Enoch - 08-02-2012
' Wrote:I am a bit confused now. Is that 5 different ships or 5 different characters?One account can hold 5 ships, but different ships can belong to the same character. Just an example, if the name of your character is Mr Fate, his first ship can be named Mr.Fate, then his transport can be named Fate's.Transport, and his gunboat can be named Big.Fate. These ships obviously belong to the same person while having different names.
Either way, is there a way to transfer money between those?
You can transfer cash to a ship with the /givecash <character name> <cash amount> command.
