FTP Officialdom Request

[Switchback]

If you're really aiming for officialdom, cut it down with the memes and internet speak in local.

Apart from an encounter or two with members of FTP that were thoroughly underwhelming in terms of understanding the server rules, I'm happy to see an active Junker faction based (apparently) in the south of Sirius. Best of luck!

(I still find "Free Trade People" to be a rather odd name though.)

I have to echo these comments. Primarily Toaster's comment about the bending of server rules. I'm aware that some of the members have already talked to you about it (Before they where banned from your discord), but it has to be reiterated. Regardless, I do have some comments outside of what's already been said.

I like that you are proposing a new ID, however I have always felt the "Junker" ID/IFF doesn't really make sense for your guys faction, given you seem to be trying to /not/ be Junkers. That's not however to say your faction isn't trying to do something a bit unique, which I like. I keep thinking your faction is trying to be something like a not-so-lawful Zoner presence. (Freedom and stuff but will totally steal your lunch money) Also Colonizing a planet is a lot harder than building a base and getting it SRPed so its more like a static NPC base, or getting it put ingame as a NPC base.

Regarding the Hel Cruisers- This shouldn't be in the ID, and should be handled by SRPs in my opinion. By adding it to the ID you make it seem like every member is going to have a Hel to defend against hostiles (Evil BDM| Uboat swarms included) when inRP you haven't got any capital ship fabrication or support facilities. (Drydocks on bases, etc) One or two cruisers can be explained, but you should have inRP justification. Trust me when I say heavy warship maintenance is neither easy nor cheap.

Rephacks: I'm pretty sure you can't do this on a Tag level, its NPC faction only. So in this case, Federalists, Xenos (Already rephacked), Gas Miners Guild (Not sure about this one)

Also while I do have my criticisms of your group, your group is very active, which is more than can be said about even some of the currently-official factions. Your RP (at least on the surface) seems to be getting better, and your making progress in various items. Don't let getting PVP-killed make you angry (I know this from experience, trust me) and good luck! If you need feedback or someone to play devil's advocate my door is open.

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
