I'm just going to respond to a couple of posts here but each comment is appreciated.
' Wrote:ive never really seen you people in action. Do you people attack other transports to RPly take their occupants? It would be awesome...
Yes, we will be raiding transports to take Passengers, VIPs etc.
' Wrote:Things look quite good to me. I noticed a couple things. On the diplomacy chart, you keep spelling business as "buisness".
Fixed.
' Wrote:That being said, I'm not sure the IMG would be neutral. Personally, I'd see them more of a yellow on that chart, unless there's been more dealings that I'm not privy to.
We're not 100% sure on that ourselves but, I've left IMG as a neutral faction for now.
Have any Admins seen this yet? We have not had our funds collected from the {SU}Portland yet. We are also still surprised by the utter lack of feedback we have received. (compared to some posts that are almost 30 pages long)
I personally look forward to rescuing every slave I can, in order for them to become free and priviledged citizens of the coalition. I need someone to work in the coal mines.
Seriously though, looks pretty good to me, I gave it a quick glanceover.

My PanGal lux liner is pretty damn terrified of you guys at the moment. If I get caught, pieguy will fire me!
If you play up the kidnapping-piracy element of the faction over the generic smuggling element, it should be really great. Trading people is really profitable in .85, hopefully people will start to realise this and start ferring them around, and then you add a layer of danger to that.
I read through your faction description and have to say: Good work!
I like the concept of the inhuman slave liners drifting in various systems, looking for fresh 'commodities'. Maybe we will meet in space, when I finally managed to purchase a liner.
I really hope to be able to pirate many of you liner pilots soon! (I also have some RP tricks up my for SCRAA). Unfortunately free time has been an issue and what time I do spent on the server I have to trade to maintain some characters. Too many time have I let a fully loaded liner slip by because I was too low on equipment to be successful! This will all soon change.
This concept was born during 4.83. The Diamond-Niobium run of that version was called the Corfu run where Passengers / Alien Organisms went back and forth between Cambridge and Corfu. I naturally wanted to pirate that route but I suck in a fighter. Since I already had a prison liner I slapped a Junker ID on it and went to town as a slaver. I was never very successful at actually pirating but I still found it fun. After a while a buddy joined me and I was able to turn it into a tiny faction.
It initially died due to poor management on my part and an utter lack of things to do. Not having a dedicated / popular passenger hurt our ability to RP. With the new Passenger setup this should hopefully change!
EDIT: Oh and while I am at it, if anyone see's a liner we really want to know about it. Feel free to make yourselves a few credits!

Ah Izaak! I have a great idea; make slave selling price really high in coalition base! Since we are the only one who can dock there, rescuing slave might actually be meaningful for us.. x)

Right well I just applied too, but I have a question about the promotion scheme. To be promoted from a probationary member, you need to have acquired 25,000 points. That seems like a lot to me, considering it would probably be earned in 250 point bursts for intel gathering, or a trickle of points from pilot hunting.
Could you place an estimate on how long you think it would take to raise the points needed?
