The Kusari Exiles (4.86)

[Zelot]

I'm very dissapointed that this will be a closed faction. That's an entirely different topic, of course, about what indies do for factions, and na na nah.

How will applications be managed?

And, point of interest, how will the faction be closed? New npc faction?

There will not be a new NPC faction, but instead a Ronin ID.

Application procedures are being worked on at the moment, but I am fairly certain that priority will be given to KNF players who wish to have their characters defect, but they will be required to make a new character for the KNF. We dont want to take the entire KNF playerbase and leave the KNF dead.

As to the issue of the faction being closed, it was a very hard choice for me, and I was really divided so I asked some other admins for their input and this is what it came to. The problem is that this faction is very specific in the number of ships and things that are available by the storyline. Making the faction open would make it impossible to keep the numbers in check and would threaten to create problems that would drastically effect the mod storyline. I was very hesitant to make this choice, because I do believe indies provide something very important for factions, but in this case it would have made it way to hard to operate the faction.
