Faction activity - August

[Zayne Carrick]

Yet another victims has been scored by disco trends.

The only 2 types of factions are able to do something now without having a hard time motivating members to join faction\fly.

Caps or ability to grind cash for caps.

That's gg.

There're easier ways to grind money then collecting scrap

Judge- 14.11:38:39
No caps, no cash

BHG 6.02:36:49
No caps, no cash

[Govedo13]

Solo you fail in reading. He is right. He says that most of the factions allow indies to do the same as officials but without metagaming and without responsibilities, so people do fly under the faction names but as indies.

Junkers are cash machine they always were.
Judges are import faction that comes from other community and does not recruit members here.
BHG have cap line, they have also really good guns and cool snub line and the most OP ship in the server- bottlenose.
Shall we continue?
The truth is that factions need more stuff then indies, this however should not restrict indies too much and still should allow them to fly under the faction banner- the best example how to do it is SCRA.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

Govedo,

When you post, especially in regards to the Judges, I wish that you would get your facts right. Otherwise, the possibility exists, people will not take you seriously.

Yes, the Judges (concept) came form another server but all the members, except two, have all been recruited from this server and this server alone.

So taking this into account out of the 20 members (approx), 18 of us were recruited from within this community.

Hopefully this has set the record straight and allows you to review your perceived knowledge.

And you came to this conclusion how? Please show your work.

Also like to point out that this "other" community shut down back in '07, so how we could get new recruits from a dead server is beyond me.

The sad part here - Coalition indies doesnt exist. Probably because of no typhoons and less ZOI then SCRA ID. Not that I regret it - I have no wish to see 10 Typhoons firing everything on Manhattan orbit and shouting: ''Death to Americans! For the USSR! Communism, Vodka, Lenin FTW!''

But you right. Official faction will barely have recruits if they can grab BS easilly and do not answer to any lords and bosses if done something with it that HC will not approve. That needs a fix. But sadly, wont.

JayDee, one way to consider it (which I'm sure you have done already) is that a lack of indies means that people will be joining the faction instead. Not that there are many SCRA| Typhoons floating around in the ranks from what I remember...

Kingdom of Bretonia
Colonial Republic
Independent Miners Guild

[JayDee Kasane]

There are not many Phood simply because they really weak against just everything we encounter on our main ZOI.
But yea, people decide to join SCRA instead of flying indie often, but there still some of those who doesnt.

Wait, Coalition indie ID is live? HOW I GET

Corsair can support three official factions.
Just saying.

Fly to Omega-50, Boa Vista Station, and buy the ID.

maybe thats another point.... three official factions with the same ID? seems superfluous.

"4.4 Administrators reserve the right to limit recruiting for certain official player factions for a certain period of time to keep server factions balanced."

maybe its time for admins to invoke this for some factions?
