Lane Hackers

[Van]

When I first started Disco, Lane Hackers were the very first NPC faction I associated with.

I received an anonymous hand out, bought a ship, and just explored, all the while Flying a Zoner Tag (did not know I had one, or even how I got one) with a Lane Hacker I.D. I was completely daunted by the depth that surrounded me, and no clue where I could fit in. From what I could tell, the only Lane Hackers out there were the HF, and I maybe saw them once (I do not think I even saw one Lane Hacker I.D. on any other ship aside from that one HF). Also, while I was floating around, I was ganged up on by a few BSG and killed, without even a word spoken. I was confused, to say the least. (irrelevant, just a memory)

Then, Junkers picked me up by random PM (something about me must have screamed "New", I guess), and I have been a somewhat production and maybe even a little bit contributing Disco addition since, all the while wearing the Junker insignia.

...Where was I going with this... oh, right! Love the Lane Hackers, but was not confident enough in myself to stay one, due to lack of required knowledge I believe. If you are going to RP as one, you might as well know Computers, Hacking, Business and Management (Lane Hackers are my favorite also for their structuring, and their goals), but most of all, it would be very hard to be a Lane Hacker solo. Most pirate factions are just that, pirates. But Lane Hackers, they are more. They pirate, sure, but they are also business orientated, selling information, buying assistance, all means of making profit so that they can live ideal lives. They focus on themselves, not others, like the Corsairs and Outcasts do in their war and hate for each other.

It would require detailed and deep Role Playing to be one, I think, with excellent connections to ally factions in order to successfully RP. A Lane Hacker with no one to sell info to or to work with in identifying transports with specific cargo would be nothing more than an ordinary Pirate, and I think they have/had an I.D. for that. (I guess a eprson could have a Lane Hacker Tag with a Pirate I.D. and have an easy enough time Role Playing...)

...Damn, I forgot where I was going with this again...

In Conclusion ('cause I know I should shut up now), Lane Hackers are the best Faction in Sirius, followed closely, if not tied with, the Junkers.

At least I think so.
