Tinker and Transport is a community which originated as a cooperation among Junker scrap miners and Freelance traders.
After the first Base built in System Hudson near Cold Bay Depot was destroyed due to military intervention the group formed a legalized cooperation called Tinker&Transport soon to develop into a fully operating trade network.
Faction primary goal : Trade with PremScrap,
legalizing the trade and freeing it from "Junkers are dirty and untrustworthy" stigmata
Faction secondary goal : A better life for all.
Humanitarian aid to those unfortunates in need of this, regardless of affiliation or historic background.
Faction tertiary goal : To aid against tyrrany and oppression, currently seen as royalist Gallia.
Not liberty from tax or rules... Freedom to do the right thing on a personal bias.
There are three layers of this civilian organization:
- junior and senior members
( pilots or captains representing whole crew groups )
- cooperative officers
( Foreman of the base , security officer , secretary of the Board of Trustees )
- The Board of Trustees
( Investors and Supporters not involved in day-to day buisness )
Rights and Priviledges :
Junior members are entitled to full docking rights at the Haven and are part of the everyday live of the scrap rig.
Also they may request startup help (section 2.1 and 2. 2 )
After at least 1 month of junior membership they can call a vote on their recieving senior status.
Vote is decided by the senior members.
Senior members have full voting right on decisions concerning docking rights and day to day buisness.
Cooperation offices and structure :
The Shareholders and Investors form a Board of Trustees not involved in the day - to day buisness of the Faction.
There are several Offices set up by the Cooperative Bord of Trustees.
There is no monthly fee or membership payment involved, the funds for these salarys and the Base itself stem from the accounts of the Investors. The board of Trustees itself is not a closed Institution and full Membership here is possible .
Current Offices and Officials :
- FynnMcScrap : Foreman of the Base
- Phileas O. Tukker : Prime Secretary for the Board of Trustees.
- John Kurt : Chief of Logistics , Coordinator of T&T trade fleet
< currently being reassingned > : Chief of Security , Coordinator of T&T defense squadrons
- Sturm Winger : Chief of Engineering, Coordinator of the T&T/ mechanics.
- Doctor Doreen Nagger : Chief Resident of the Haven Memorial Clinic
Income for the Board of Trustees and the group of Investors stems from scrapping or Trading. There is no difference between a not affiliated Guest with docking clearance, a affiliated Member of T&T/ or a Member of the Board of Trustees as far as availability of the Havens resources is concerned, although the Foreman may reserve a minnimum availability of any commodity traded at the Base for the use of a Board Member.
Cooperation Regulations :
1 ) After joining T&T/ a junior Member has a trial period of 1 Month, followed by a vote from all senior Members.
A tie in this Vote can be decided by the Foreman of the Base. If approved , the junior member is awarded full ( senior ) membership.

2.2 ) A certain Ship or ship type is not required to gain the Bonus and the Bonus must not be repayd if leaving T&T, but leaving T&T without repaying the Bonus or checking out the T&T/Bonus Ship without at first gaining senior membership revokes any docking rights at T&T installations. ( This is to prevent misuse )

Restart: /restart freelancerli
( or /restart fcjunker for scrapping crews )
Ship lines used:
T&T/ Freelancer trade fleet : Sirius Civilian ships
Transport vessles with a cargo up to 3600 ( Serenity ect. ) according to Freelancer ID

Please remember :
Even though some ships may be allowed by ID, other restrictions according to local laws or regulations may apply.
(Junker ID may fly the Pirate Transport, but the ship is prohibited in Liberty House.) Tinker & Transport expects its members to know about such regulations and avoid breaking local laws.
Or at least avoid getting caught.
EDIT LOG :
15.07. changed Faction ID as posted here
As shown here , the Factions primary role is Trading the resources from the Base to legal markets. Junkers and free Miners are welcome and will be easily granted docking rights, but Faction ID rules seem to be preventing TAG affiliation.
edited rep sheet and added faction logos in current form.

Quote:(one faction + one general ID is allowed together, right?).
Nope. Only if one successfully requested subfaction ID 2 IDs per faction are allowed
Quote:Identification, affiliation and tag Rules
When a faction is created, the leader must select an ID and a corresponding IFF for use on every ship within the faction, based on the group's primary role and identity. Factions must also choose one unified tag for their ships upon requesting official status.
Each faction or group can only use one ID. Official factions may request their own ID based on the original ID of their NPC faction, to allow for a more specialized line of roleplay or to remove certain restrictions applied to their original ID, which would require admin approval before implementation. The faction ID can only be requested if the official faction's roleplay as a whole, or the roleplay of a sub-group of the faction can no longer be played out within the allowances of their original ID.
In case of the Player Faction IDs granted to the faction as a whole, the approved ID will become the faction's primary ID and every ship belonging to the faction should be switched to the new ID, and in case of the Player Faction IDs approved to a sub-group within a faction, the ID must only be used within the approved sub-group. In both cases, the official faction will maintain their faction rights over the NPC faction of their IFF.
It is possible for any faction or any group to choose any ID that they like. Including even IDs that already have official faction(s) representing them, however, not all IDs or NPC affiliation will grant full faction rights.
- Miner or Zoner ID no Problem for the Faction, but not Faction ID
Quote:It is possible for any faction or any group to choose any ID that they like. Including even IDs that already have official faction(s) representing them, however, not all IDs or NPC affiliation will grant full faction rights.
Also *sounds ooRP* Er... Why ?
When a Bunch of misfits and underdogs meets, why should other misfits and underdogs be ooRP ?
Guess you don't understand. Yes, you can use different IDs, but under tag "T&T" only ships with one certain ID can fly. Others won't be counted part of faction, kinda "free contractors" - perhaps.
No further naming convention set. I do hope that players who opt to fly with a trading RP Faction dont except their ship to be called T&T/Tittys_90_30_90 or such... oh well, perhaps I will be surprised.
However, as a full faction Vote decided by the Foreman in the case of a tie is required to gain Senior Membership I hope to get exaggerated individualism checked.
