Anomander, considering that religious people tend to take their religions seriously (many times to a fault) & considering that making a faction based on RL religious tennants will draw people that live their lives according to similar dogma, how would you propose to keep oorp animosity from developing between players?
Say for instance that I make a faction based on Satanisim, cliaming that it's just all in good fun...all it will really do is offend the sensibilities of people who are opposed to it & a number of them will make characters specifically to hunt my satanic faction down for oorp reasons, resulting in a snowball effect that will end up creating alot of resentment between community members.
Drop the references to the Spanish inquisition, sinning blasphemy righteousness ect & it might be easier for people to digest it & not pass your faction idea off as a bad joke.

Seriusly: work on this idea, but spanish inquisition dont makes you somehow related to corsairs?? dont forguet that outcasts and sairs have theirs origin in the sleeper ship hispania, so in general the hispaniards tend to be attached to them.
Not all Hispanian Refugees supose to be evil - We want fo fight with crime, for God - our brother and sisters still have an honour but they forget about God.
They forgot what it's really matter - so they are no longer our brothers and sisters, but enemies, enemies of God.
Why not make vigilantly inquisition group dedicated to finding humans 'corrupted' by the nomads and removing thier blight from the galaxy? Quitinous~Verinex (SP?) had an idea like this long ago and I happy to say I was a part of it.
We would go around stopping random ships to preform a genetic scan, blowing up anyone who so much as said a good thing about the aliens and etc. It was good fun until we decide that we would hunt pirates too (It was a much smaller server at the time). I would advise that you stick to RP the search for infected humans if you were to take up this idea, because believe me that was some great RP.

Makes sence... It's dangerous to deal with religion.
how about create a religion based in freelancer world or something like the cult of Eries from the zoners, since have no vinculation with the real world's existent religions, it's easier to keep in RP terms and control.
I dont want to be a pain in the ass for you, but make sure that things like malburg said happens can be quite difficult, nearly impossible. Unfortunetly humans are like that and there will be people that will behave like him said.
Since I'm not really the complete ass that I like to pretend to be alot of the time here on the forums, I appreciate that you see some of my logic. Thank you Sir.
Personally, I've no issues with someone creating a faction with insane esoteric beliefs...just so long as the fiction they create doesn't crash head-on with the mythological fiction that many people like to latch onto in reality.:cool:

You mean Inquisition? I didn't started yet creating this fraction, now I only create an historyline of fraction and prepare a list of enemies and allies.
Let it be. Listen dude... I dont know if you are joking or what, but considering you've posted this in RP factions section, i'll count this as 'serious' proposal, thus i will be serious in this reply.
This idea of yours is bullcrap. Has no RP meaning in discovery universe.
' Wrote:I wnat to create a new fraction - connected to Merc or new nation Italian, or Holy forces.
The fight will we with SIN, Blasphemy, Piracy and Smugling - around all systems in Sirus.
How can be SPANISH inquisition connected to ITALIAN nation? Why there is need for 'holy' forces where there is nothing 'evil' around here? (supernaturally speaking...)
Some faithful fanatics as faction indeed sounds interesting, but 'spanish' inquisition would be totally something different.
If you think you can create new house (Italian), let me just tell you that you wont be able to create one.

This is more less Bounty hunters/House military RP.
With Merc ID, you wont be able to destroy anything, unless there is bounty on someone.
Edit:
PS: Spain is current Hispania. So is part of Italy.
