This idea is not going be taken into action by me. I will let someone else revamp this if they'd like to, and even put this idea into reality. Read the last reply written by me to see why I abandoned this project.
//NOTE: This is an idea, not an actual group just yet. Read all of this before posting replies. Also I'm new at this, so my presentation might not be the best. Look at the bottom for feedback suggestions and I hope you like this idea!
Description: Galileo Shipping Incorporated is a group devoted to the promotion of independent trade to help the economy. Partnered with Deep Space Engineering, this group focuses on helping individual traders accomplish their goals and also building up commerce in remote areas. Using technology provided by Deep Space Engineering, we can also build our own bases and ships, but we prefer to save this ability for long-term projects instead of regular use. We also are tasked with mapping out obscure trade routes, and we are not adverse to using jump holes regularly, either. We are based off Planet Denver in the Colorado System,Toronto Station in the Ontario System, and have several offices within stations around Sirius.
Known Bases:
Planet Denver, Colorado, Liberty Space
Toronto Station, Ontario, Liberty Space
Newark Station, New York, Liberty Space
Waterloo Station, New London, Bretonia Space
Roppongi Station, New Tokyo, Kusari Space
Furyoku Station, Okinawa, Sigma Border Worlds
Bonn Station, New Berlin, Rheinland Space
As you can see, most of our offices are located on existing or former Interspace Commerce stations, as they are hubs for inter-house trading. Our situation in Rheinland is a bit tense due to the embargo Liberty placed on Rheinland, also to mention that Bonn is no longer under Interspace control. Gallic lawful forces are completely hostile to us, so if you do any trading in Gallia, please use the jump holes and try not to aggravate the Council. Bretonia, Liberty, and Kusari should be open to people of our reputation, so there won't be as many problems in those houses. Also, we will not be held responsible for smuggling as we do not want to get involved with that.
Known Project Ideas:
Copernicus Station, Galileo: In order for us to expand as a corporation, we must build a base that we have full ownership over. The Reppu Bend in Galileo is the perfect place for us to build, being a cheap rental spot and also being easily supplied by the Trade Lane Network. This will only be built after we have gained a sufficient amount of employees to supply this project.
Equipment:
Deep Space Engineering ID
PTE-Class Engines
Civilian Class Weaponry (Optional)
[GSI] Ship Tag (Include in your name)
Ships:
Raven's Talon VHF- Escort Fighter
Waran Bomber- Standard Bomber (If we need one)
Civilian Class Transports and Trains (Example: A Stork Advanced Train)
Civilian Gunboat aka Condor- Heavy Defense Platform (For High-Risk Missions)
//OORP Explanation:
We are basically a group that does independent trading and allows people like Freelancers to get 5k trains if they join us without breaking RP rules. I also want Copernicus created to show that we aren't just an excuse for Freelancer 5ks either. Like I said up above, we do use a lot of Jump Holes. We are allied with NPC factions, so don't think we are allied directly with Player Factions yet, because we're not. You can do smuggling, but don't expect us to bail you out because we have no liability with smuggling. In order to be considered part of our Un-official group, you must use the [GSI] tag in your name in-game.
//Feedback:
If you have any questions or advice you want to give, that is fine with me. I am new at this, so I have not actually made this a thing yet. Please give feedback and help to make a friendly trading group who helps out with independent trading.
Wha do you plan to be based off Denver ?
Try Ontario /Toronto station , or even Pittsburg if you want to have a planetside base.
Your RP seems to stress DSE background so why not choose a DSE base ?
Also : Gallileo
Woha, you looked at one of the hottest places there. Rogue and Hacker territorry.
You will get fire from them , as well as from Kusari unlawfuls.
Is the PoB the main reason, planning to build a trade hub between Kusari and Liberty ? Expect MAJOR fire from multiple sides.

How do you plan to "allow Freelancers to use 5k transports" ? They would break ID ,or do you want to usw DSE ID / Freelance IFF ? That will not work either.
I noticed myself that Admins are very sensitive of "overpowered builds" and server balance. Having a good RP background, nice ideas and genuinely trying to participate in and help server community sadly is no balance argument.

Please give feedback and help to make a friendly trading group who helps out with independent trading.
If you find a way from getting Admin to help you along with building up ideas : tell me, pls. I have been trying to do so for over a jear, and only get "dont´s"
Nah, not that bad actually. And there are a lot of people with advice or ideas who are ready to help.
But prob is : for every nice guy you will get 3 threatening to disrupt all you do, for personal reasons, for fun and LULZ , or because they also genuinely think you are doing the wrong thing, or should rather join their own faction.

You may want to take on a Freelancer ID if you're opposed to corporate monopolies. DSE is pretty much a textbook definition as one of the "Big Three" Liberty Corporations.

Hmmm... I'll change the description a bit then. The Freelancer ID only allows up to 3.6k.
1. Competition. You already have Blackport 66 and Poena in Kepler so you're not the only one offering services.
2. Danger. Galileo is by far the most dangerous system in Liberty and surrounding systems. Most traders prefer the safer Kepler system.
3. Why not join the dying DSE) instead of creating a new faction? DSE) already has bases, fleet and a good diplomacy.
4. Decide whether you want to create a corporate faction or a freelancer one. If you want the latter I suggest you join T&T.
A business trying to break the monopolies of large corporations.....by working with a large corporation?
Please no.....I'm not a huge fan of freelancer corps as it is, but I'd much rather you play a straight freelancer or a corp player. No more IND please.

My tip : never give up trying ;-)
Good job pointing out my mistakes, there. Seems like I messed up a bit. I wanted Denver since it is close to the location where I would build my POB, but Galileo seems to be a poor choice as far as factions go. I also wanted Galileo because I could be close to a potential ally, the IND. I could also see if I can't work out some private deals with those unlawfuls you mentioned. Like you said before, it is best not to stop trying, and that is exactly what I will do. About the whole DSE situation: DSE is the only big Liberty Corp not hostile to Rheinland with rephacks. That's why I chose it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I believe that this problem with Galileo can be fixed with a bit of diplomacy. The Competition, despite being in the same area as me is not bold enough to try Galileo. Copernicus can also strike deals and upgrade defenses to help stay active. This faction will be a mix, kind of like what people say the IND were but with a bit better handle on things diplomatically. I also want this to turn into a helpful faction for traders instead of the infamous IND. With hope and effort, I could actually make this possible.
