You should only join The Omicroners if you are looking to expand your horizons and partake in a more subtlety-led and defined role-play. Being a member means the intricacies of diplomacy will become second nature, and you will utilise both words and action, as well as submission or physical hostility, depending on the situation at hand. You will build up your wealth, but only with role-play as a driving force behind your trade routes, and usually in some way to benefit the faction as a whole.
The Omicroners are not interested in silent power-traders looking to build up hordes of wealth with the faction's reputation and neutrality as a shield; the shield is tested enough, and they need it for other things. They seek interaction, interconnection and influence with all factions in Sirius, and this is a goal they constantly work towards.
You should definitely join if you are looking for something different; an unusual and detailed character role-play, a fun group of people willing to teach and support you as your role-play develops and advances and generally a challenging, but rewarding time.
Special notes: The Omicroners are rather unusual, with a completely unique style and different sort of role-play. Beyond that, reading the wiki page for them, and talking to their members is recommended. Role-play is what they want and seek to give, but by-products of credits and PVP usually come hand-in-hand with this.
Preferred Ships: Raven's Talon, Roc, Border-Worlds Transport and Whale. (Potential allowed ship list has more ships.)
The Omicroners opt for a balance of both capital ships and fighter craft; and their ship usage is flexible enough to change to suit the conditions. Transport-class vessels are not restricted, it does not make sense both in-RP and OoRP.
Minimum PvP: Nothing except a willingness to learn.
Who we do not look for: People who are unwilling to learn, in short. The Omicroners are Zoners, so there is quite a lot of independence in character creation, and role-play, and they are more than willing to invest time in anyone applying, providing that the applicant is open to communication and feedback.
A well deserved bump for this great concept. This is one of the best ways for factions to get new players, as well as being an easy way for new players to decode the strange and wonderful world of official factions.
