This idea is not going be taken into action by me. I will let someone else revamp this if they'd like to, and even put this idea into reality. Read the last reply written by me to see why I abandoned this project.
//NOTE: This is an idea, not an actual group just yet. Read all of this before posting replies. Also I'm new at this, so my presentation might not be the best. Look at the bottom for feedback suggestions and I hope you like this idea!
Description: Galileo Shipping Incorporated is a group devoted to the promotion of independent trade to help the economy. Partnered with Deep Space Engineering, this group focuses on helping individual traders accomplish their goals and also building up commerce in remote areas. Using technology provided by Deep Space Engineering, we can also build our own bases and ships, but we prefer to save this ability for long-term projects instead of regular use. We also are tasked with mapping out obscure trade routes, and we are not adverse to using jump holes regularly, either. We are based off Planet Denver in the Colorado System,Toronto Station in the Ontario System, and have several offices within stations around Sirius.
Known Bases:
Planet Denver, Colorado, Liberty Space
Toronto Station, Ontario, Liberty Space
Newark Station, New York, Liberty Space
Waterloo Station, New London, Bretonia Space
Roppongi Station, New Tokyo, Kusari Space
Furyoku Station, Okinawa, Sigma Border Worlds
Bonn Station, New Berlin, Rheinland Space
As you can see, most of our offices are located on existing or former Interspace Commerce stations, as they are hubs for inter-house trading. Our situation in Rheinland is a bit tense due to the embargo Liberty placed on Rheinland, also to mention that Bonn is no longer under Interspace control. Gallic lawful forces are completely hostile to us, so if you do any trading in Gallia, please use the jump holes and try not to aggravate the Council. Bretonia, Liberty, and Kusari should be open to people of our reputation, so there won't be as many problems in those houses. Also, we will not be held responsible for smuggling as we do not want to get involved with that.
Known Project Ideas:
Copernicus Station, Galileo: In order for us to expand as a corporation, we must build a base that we have full ownership over. The Reppu Bend in Galileo is the perfect place for us to build, being a cheap rental spot and also being easily supplied by the Trade Lane Network. This will only be built after we have gained a sufficient amount of employees to supply this project.
Equipment:
Deep Space Engineering ID
PTE-Class Engines
Civilian Class Weaponry (Optional)
[GSI] Ship Tag (Include in your name)
Ships:
Raven's Talon VHF- Escort Fighter
Waran Bomber- Standard Bomber (If we need one)
Civilian Class Transports and Trains (Example: A Stork Advanced Train)
Civilian Gunboat aka Condor- Heavy Defense Platform (For High-Risk Missions)
//OORP Explanation:
We are basically a group that does independent trading and allows people like Freelancers to get 5k trains if they join us without breaking RP rules. I also want Copernicus created to show that we aren't just an excuse for Freelancer 5ks either. Like I said up above, we do use a lot of Jump Holes. We are allied with NPC factions, so don't think we are allied directly with Player Factions yet, because we're not. You can do smuggling, but don't expect us to bail you out because we have no liability with smuggling. In order to be considered part of our Un-official group, you must use the [GSI] tag in your name in-game.
//Feedback:
If you have any questions or advice you want to give, that is fine with me. I am new at this, so I have not actually made this a thing yet. Please give feedback and help to make a friendly trading group who helps out with independent trading.
