Quote:* Requests should only be made when the character's storyline cannot proceed without a request removing a major obstacle in the character's progress. Requests may only be made for character setups that are prohibited by the Technology Use chart, as indicated by a red or purple cell in the ID/faction group combination. Requests involving specialized IDs are highly discouraged. Requests should only involve IDs that have a faction Tag/IFF associated with them. The Special Operative ID cannot be used without a faction Tag/IFF.

* Requests made for setups that are advantageous to pvp combat will have to meet a much higher standard, and are less likely to be approved.

* The character applying for the request must have existed with its current name and faction affiliation for 25 in game hours. Renamed characters or changes from other faction affiliations must have occurred a minimum of 25 in game hours before the request is made. In other words, the character benefiting from the request must have been role-played actively on the server for at least 25 in game hours before the request is made.

* There must be forum storyline posted in the role-playing forum for the character before the request is made, and it must be sufficient to explain the background, motivations, and server side activities of the character.

Provide the following information for the character (failure to fill in all information will result in immediate rejection of your application) :
1. How long has the character existed on the server in its current form?
2. What is the color of the combination of ID and faction group in the Technology use chart for your request?
3. What is the exact existing name on the server / future name on the server for the request (if different)
4. What is the character's existing faction affiliation, Tag, and ID / requested faction affiliation, Tag, and ID
5. Existing ship used / requested ship
6. Weapons used / requested weapons
7. Existing zone of operation / requested zone of operation
8. Current activities of the character / intended activities after the request (i.e. : piracy, law enforcement, etc) Which characters, IDs, or factions will be targeted as special enemies by the character?
9. Provide links to threads in the role-playing forum relevant to the character. If the link is to a post, provide the number of the post in the relevant thread. NO fiction should be posted in your application. It must all be posted in the role-playing forum prior to your request and links provided here.
10. Explain how the character's storyline cannot proceed without this request.
11. Explain how the specific elements of the request will create progress in the character's storyline.
12. Explain the next best alternatives available to the character without this request and why they are insufficient. In other words, what alternative ships or weapons could the character use in its storyline that would not require this request, and why are they not the best choice for the character's story?
13. Is the requested setup permanent or temporary? If permanent, explain why it should not be temporary. If temporary, explain how, why, and when it will end.
14. How will this request benefit and/or harm the role-playing of other characters and factions that this character will interact with?
15. What are the relevant diplomatic relationships of the character?
16. What server events involving other characters or factions will be used or have been used to gain access to the requested technology? What hostile opposition is/was involved? Under what conditions can the character be prevented from acquiring the requested technology due to the event?
