It's always a smart go, but then all NPC factions somehow have their faction leaders, even if these are inactive.
I've been thinking about a faction, renouncing the Liberty sovereignity in Bering System right now, testing if that would be doable:
Quote:
BERING UNION A.K.A. Movement Against Libertonian Expansion in Hudson and Bering
Backstory
After the destruction of both Hamburg gates in Hudson and Bering, the Liberty Navy forcefully annexed both systems in the name of protection - from both Rheinland Military and criminals alike. However, shipping through these systems has been halted, with no difference for smugglers who did not care about jumpgates. However, not everyone liked the Navy patronage over Bering.
Bering Union mainly consists of angered Zoners, mercenaries and shippers which were affected by Rheinland-Liberty War and gate destruction. Their main goal is to wage a guerilla war against the Liberty influence and restore the status quo inside entire system, reclaiming its previous independent status.
(Also, does anyone use Unioner ID anyway?)
So this turned into a Unioner faction? I actually like this, gives me a reason to make a rheinland pirate now :}

To think of it as copying of another faction is ridiculous, just as it is ridiculous to think of it as coming from a game. Just look at this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raised_fis...the_symbol
~ guy who made the current version of the VWA logo and who was VF leader when the original version of that logo was made by Cawdor for the VF
i mean art wise, it's the same style of shape and the 'cuts' are the same - so it's the same vector
talking law wise, this would be a copyright infringement.
also the new idea is nice, but are they aware of the jumpgates collapsing?

They do. That's why they are angry in the first place, as Freeport 2 doesn't generate as much income as used to be - add up annexation by Liberty and voila.

Isn't it a problem, that the unioners ID is hostile with the most cooperations or im i wrong? I mean, the BU is for free trading, isn't it?
I wont attack the idea, i only want to understand.

The NPC reputation don't need to influence PvP interactions, I believe. Like in case of the Order, despite them beiung hostile to almost all corporations, doesn't target corporated.
[BU]- Bering Union
or
[BBU]- Bering Borderworld Union?

I think this idea have a better future now, nice work
Good luck with upgrading and adding to this idea more factors so it become hard for the logical authorities to refuse it
BERING UNION & Unioners ID .. hmm, interesting !

[BU] i think.... Bering Borderworld Union sounds ..... i dont know.... Blääähhh...
But you could integrate something with "independent" or "free", for example.
And by the way: You should think about a new Logo :-P
