Well, the Hawaii is a little hard to base out from. Curacao, on the other hand, isn't. It's situated between Liberty and Bretonia, and that could be used to your advantage. ZoI is a hard thing with factions like this, because the mythos can't give you an idea right off the bat. Also, you have to think about hostile relations between the houses. That won't restrict your ZoI, and it's a bit besides the point, but that's an important thing to get straight for an indy trading corp. Can't have new recruits shipping between Bretonia and Kusari, Rheinland and Liberty, etc.
I got sidetracked. ZoI. I'd suggest you started slow and small. Maybe Liberty and Bretonian trading, since you might be situated perfectly for that. That also gives you the opportunity to smuggle with the Mollies, and perhaps get RP agreements with them forumside and serverside. I really see that having some potential. From there you might start adding new agreements and trade routes as your RP takes you. It's really hard to set out a concrete ZoI for this kind of thing, but maybe if you set your current ZoI, and where you may advance from there. Your business goals, so to speak.

Updated to include Faction leader Bio, new employee handbook, and supplemental interview about the company.
The next step in the creation process is to spend half a billion on this idea, so I would appreciate any admin feedback as I would prefer to change it things beforehand.
Thanks for looking.

Awesome work. A lot more mindless corporative blather than others write up, I love it.
So, have you just not written it up yet? A promotion chart, that is. Trainee > Employee > Junior Executive etc. And a ship choice list for each position.

I don't think the Bretonian authorities like people carrying MOX out of Bretonia. I was only stopped once though; perhaps someone could clarify?

SUBJECT: Compliance of no smuggling policy
It has come to my attention that several accusations of smuggling have become public. We need to immediately enact a 'no smuggling' policy within the ranks. The rules shall be simple:
Any pilot caught with contaband by 2 verified sources will be fined one million credits per instance. In addition piracy insurance will not payout for 'stolen' contraband.
You are authoized to spend upt to *B*L*A*C*K*E*D*O*U*T* to make this happen. Please message me ASAP if you run into any problems.
Thanks, Merv.

I'm a little unsure about rules about smuggling as i have run into a [Ipx]Toombs smuggling openly in Manhattan- New York i have asked him to drop cargo many times and have never received an answer from him.
I understand you support running from pirates but running from the police is abit different.
[Ipx] InterPlanetary eXpress - jpo - 11-11-2008
actually, please learn the server rules. Toombs hauls trade lane parts. the fine is 500k and the cargo need not be dropped. Its not considered smuggling by the server rules.
Quote:Corporate CrimesSo you can stop asking me to drop it and start asking me for 500k. Ive been carrying the fine in credit cards in my hull all week.
Violation of Trade Secrets; Defined as the violation of the implicit confidential and lawful trade practices of a commercial entity. Most commonly applied to non-Ageira or Ageira-authorised holders of Gate/Lane parts. Penalty is 500,000 credits.
As far as the actual smuggling is concerned, We need a screenshot from 2 entities for each instance and then the pilot will be fined. We will then happily fine them. Once we are an official faction I will have a thread for it. Untill then simply PM me.
