500 million fee

[Reverend Del]

They haven't disobeyed the rules, they haven't applied since the fee was intorduced, so what rule are they breaking.

The 500 million is a deposit on the system purchase and is required to apply. It is not required to become official.

Well, I don't think any of the old factions are disobeying the rules.
You're being silly, and that's all. I don't know what your motives are to be asking for this. But, as I said, I'd be willing to pay it.

But, the main point is, those factions don't need to pay 500 millions to prove YOU they are officials.

Aside from all of that, the Factions that came up before the 500 mil HAVE in fact paid it. Factions now apply and pay their 500 mil which is then applied to the Billion credit cost for a system. Now I cant think of a single faction that existed before the new rules that doesn't have a system, aside from IND who are getting one. These factions are paying 1 Billion credits for the system, not the 500 million those who came after the new rules paid.

I'm merely pointing out that if older factions can just simply disobey the rules in this regard, why shouldn't the newer ones?
Why shouldn't we all?

Ok, one more time. It's not a rule, it's an application process... Am I sounding like a broken record to anyone else? Or is it just me that thinks so...

When you apply for a driver's license you follow the application process. If that changes two weeks later you don't loose your license and have to go get another one with the updated fees associated with it.

Same sort of thing.

I do agree that a review type of thing isn't a bad idea, but that's another matter all together.

The quote from Del, said as an Admin, pointed it out as more of a rule than anything.

Still, it does make sense that if it were merely part of the application process then it's all fine.
While it's still unfair against newer factions, the system purchase goes some way to helping that, though not completely.

EDIT:

The 500 million is a deposit on the system purchase and is required to apply. It is not required to become official.

-Del (I really need to figure out how to do quotes properly in fast reply..)

Does this mean that new factions do not need to pay for their official proposal? Considering that they may not even want a system in the end.

See, this confused me in regards to becoming Official:

Let me make this clear. No 500million, no official faction. Got it?

-Del

It states that without the fee, there is no official faction.

That is a good question though, what happens if a faction becomes official and then declines the right to their own system.
Do they get the 500 million back?

Also the option to buy a Barge instead of a system. That'll be made official very shortly. It's very unlikely to be turned down by the Admin team especuially as 5 have concurred already.
