Hogosha Info - Sacaed - 04-26-2008
Thanks a lot, chopper!:) I'll keep that in mind. Maybe I should request for a price change so that the Crete-New Tokyo artifact trade route is more profitable. Anywho, I'll try to get 500 mil and a faction proposal written up. Not exactly sure when that will be, so...

For a start, I'd recommend not to jump so quickly on making it.
First thing you should do is to make a Hogosha character, and try it out a bit.
If you like it, then take it to the next step.
Rushing things is bad.
Oh, and when you finally decide to make a Hogosha faction.. I'd recommend to find some 5-6 people who would be willing to RP as Hogosha.
Not just to register and never log in. But to actually play it in space.
Black Dragon society had this problem, so I'm talking from experience.
It would be silly to repeat our mistakes.
Good luck!

Thank you again! I am working on a character as we speak. It's going slow due to lack of funding, but I'm getting there. I already have some people interested, but many of them will only make a character once the faction is started. x.x Still searching...

I dunno if this has been mentioned, but I did work closely with Dusty Lens on our project for the Hogosha, called the "Takagari-Kai."
My main contribution was this, which I am still relatively proud of:

It might not look like much, but, the "mon" to your left...the diamond-shaped thingy, was hand produced using paint.NET.
Good luck!

Just a quick question, do the Hogosha use the Collector? It seems more in-rp than the Eagle.
The CSV is great though, level 6 freighter shields can really help.
Hogosha Info - chopper - 04-28-2008
They don't.
Main difference between the CSV and Collector is :
Quote:Combat Service Vehicle (CSV)
The CSV is a ship specific to the Junkers and the Hogosha. Not generally considered a huge threat, it is used in their nearly continuous search for more salvage.
Quote:Collector (CSV II) Very Heavy Fighter
The Collector is an advanced version of the common Combat Service Vehicle. Built by the Junkers, this ship has enough power to supply the most advanced heavy fighter weaponry, and enough hull strength to stand against the most formidable opposition a Junker may expect. However, due to large cargo hold the Collector lacks agility compared to other very heavy fighters.
Junkers would not give it to them.
I also have no idea why are Hogosha NPC's flying CSV's. No one ever really explained that.
Kusarian shaped ships fit their purpose the best, and their RP the best.
But it is silly to use the KNF best weaponry and armament for a mob.
That's why I hope Black Dragon VSF will be implemented.

Ah, okay. I couldn't remember the Collector infocard.
I hope the Black Dragon is implemented, Hogosha in Chimaeras would look very strange.

Very nice, diablo! *is reminded to reinstall that game* Anywho, that's a cool picture! Do you do things like this often? I hope we can work together as well, since Dusty has been helping me quite a bit.
CSVs are pretty handy. 140 cargo space, if memory serves. That in itself will be useful for smuggling, salvaging, and various other tasks. It has fewer weapons then most ships, but it's still nice. If that VHF is approved, that'd just be dandy! I'd rather pilot a CSV then a KNF fighter...
I have a couple ideas for the faction so far. The name will be the Kitsune Clan. They are a clan of elite pilot 'warriors' within the Hogosha. Their goal is to further the overall objective of the Hogosha, but their aspirations are unknown. (So far, I haven't thought of any yet. I might think of them later, but may keep them a secret until a later date.) That is all that I really have right now. What do y'all think so far?
Hogosha Info - chopper - 04-28-2008
Elite pilot warriors flying mainly CSV's? How do you intend to do that?:)
If you are going to be Hogosha's best warriors - you should fly Eagles or future Black Dragons.
Hogosha can smuggle Arifacts to Kusari (I already asked for Artifact price increase, no need to do that again), keep the Junkers out (interesting RP events possible, with the new Junker faction), Pirate in Tau-29 (mainly stopping Cardamine smugglers) or Tau-31/Leeds (altering Brettonian economy).
They can also cut GMG convoys and destroy them, but be sure to do these things away from KNF/KSP eyes.
And be sure to deny everything later.
They also have many enemies in (or close to) Kusari.
Blood Dragons, GC, Outcasts, Junkers (S-13, some of them even enter Honshu sometimes) and GMG.
I'm never bored on my Hogosha character.
As I said, RP potential is enormous. I'm sure I'v forgotten something, but I just got up.
Oh, and that VHF won't be approved, as it's Junker only vessel. Just because Hogosha is using CSV's doesn't mean they can get their hands on Collector design.
It is an enemy ship.
Hogosha Info - wrathkin - 04-28-2008
If you are going to be 'elite pilot warriors', you'll have to think on who it is you are fighting... apart from the Junkers, there are not a whole lot of targets for the Hogosha around. BD and GC, of course, but while they target the Hogosha, there's no profit to be made from hunting them. The smuggling is where heart of Hogosha operations should be, imo, and that is why the Kusari Legal Codex gives considerable slack to Hogosha smugglers.
edit: I'll bow to choppers knowledge: there sems to be fighting to do. Still, I'd like to see Hogosha smugglers.
