Constellation Cartography - Information & Feedback

[Challenger]

1) Are you aware that your goal is, inrp, not obtainable, as there are systems whose owners will simply not permit their space to be mapped by outsiders for various security reasons?

2) If you are branching off from Solar Engineering, that immediately prevents you from being able to achieve your second goal, as you will not be welcomed in Liberty or Bretonia. Additionally, neither the Colonial Republic nor the Coalition is likely to look favourably on you due to Gallic origins.

First off - thanks for taking a look at this. You've brought up some good points that we've been struggling with as well.

Regarding your first point - Yes, we recognize that the goal of a sirius-wide map maintained by a single corporate faction is for all intents and purposes impossible. As a lawful corporation, we will respect the wishes of any house we wish to map and contact them prior to any operations. You're right to point out that we will never be given permission to map guard systems - this is fine, we will not map them. Objective #1 is more of a lofty idealistic guiding principle than a hard objective.

Regarding the second point, I'll reiterate that this is not intended to reflect the attitudes of other factions; we have no quarrel with CR or SCRA, though we recognize that they would probably wind up firing on us if we ever came in to contact with them.

As for Solar Engineering, I don't think it accurately reflects the nature of our organization. We don't wish for our efforts to be influenced by house warfare (insofar as pacifism is possible) but I'm skittish about going with a generic ID/IFF combo like Freelancer because it feels like a cop-out. We are a gallic corporation, but we don't bear Liberty or Bretonia the same ill will that the crown does.
