faction question

[crusading_angels]

me and my family all play on the server and have recently bought red hessian ships we all use corresponding names for example my ship name is [RH]-PRINCE-ROYGEN I go by Vice Admiral Hans Erich Voss. each member of our group has a id of red hessian and [RH] style names on our ships. and we call ourselves the 82nd red hessian fleet. is this considered making a new faction. I ask these questions so I know what I can and cant do.

I don't see questions here.
But everything you've written is OK

is this considered making a new faction.

If you are all using the [RH] tag, then yes it should be one faction. While there aren't any rules about unofficials having multiple faction IDs (if you wanted to use Bundschuh as well, for example), you should not include factions hostile to each other like RM, Hessians and Corsairs.

EDIT: And of course, follow the restrictions on any ID that you do use while flying that ship.

I'm no expert on this subject but I'm pretty sure it's not considered creating a faction
But you can do everything stated on the Hessian ID (which I have no idea what you can or can't do).

Also you should make a faction thread on this forum section, it just enlarges your RP possibilities if people know who you are, where you fly, what's the basic idea behind your fleet, etc, and you don't get people asking who the f- you are as often as if you didn't have a faction post set up. Well, people checking the forum and playing anyway.

ok here is a better example my dad is the [RH]-BISMARK for a ship name he goes by Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck my uncle [RH]-Tirpitz Grand Admiral Alfred Von Tirpitz. me as I already said and the 82nd red hessian fleet. do we have to do something to make it official or can we just fly around like this. I just don't wanna get us into trouble if we have to do something to have this group for us and if there are rules we have to follow

[crusading_angels]

how do I go about putting up a faction post of this so everybody is not asking like you said frost

Well, pretty much like
this
this
or this

You get the idea, (short) summary of where you come from, which ships you fly, which ID you use, etc

Just look around the official faction subforums aswell, those are also good exemples of what you want to aim for (mainly)

[Zayne Carrick]

As a general advice I also suggest that your group shouldn't consist of Vice Admirals, Admirals and Grand Admirals. Try less pathetic ranks.

[crusading_angels]

well our ships are mostly named after german ships so are our names that's where we got them from and were only a family group. if we need to change the ranks we can. I figured it sounded fitting for our situation of our groupmy dad the chancellor my uncle the grand admiral me a vice admiral my cousin we haven't figured out yet lol. but I understand and we do want help to make this happen for us. may I ask why you suggest that we lose those ranks?

[crusading_angels]

and thank you frost those were really helpful. we will use those to create our faction
