Duchess Industries

[aeris]

RP-wise, I think this looks very promising. You provide new recruits plenty of clear-cut challenges and things to do in order to advance in ranks, something many other factions don't do. I think this would definitely be an option for new players, who aren't quite sure what and how to do in Discovery.

Further props on requiring essentials like food and water in the cargo! I try to do this whenever I'm actually RP'ing on the server, even though it sometimes gets a bit tedious. But how could it move without H-Fuel?

I'm not sure whether HFs, VHFs and Bombers require to be RP'd as two characters, it's distinctly different from how anyone else plays their fighters on the server. Plus, Freelancer Discovery type of evolution in deep space travel would propably mean, co-pilot duties like bomb targeting should already be automated at "this day and age" :)

It is a common truth, that playing Discovery requires quite a bit of reading. I know this is a list of requirements to start RP'ing Duchess personnel, but including every faction in the reputation list and enforcing Sirius-wide NPC repfix still seems a bit of a tedious option to memorize, bribe and accomplish. Why not mention just the critical factions and relations towards them, and let characters gain their personal affiliations from then on. Remember, they're not only DI personnel, they're also play-pretend people with their own lives and feelings. Plus it's easier and more RP :) Most reps are not immediately broken, so why not fix them only after they get so.

The awards seem like a great idea, but faction proposal not necessarily the place to include it. It's further RP when the faction is official, for sure.

Otherwise you seem to have all the required basics and I know you to be a level-headed person capable of leading a faction. At least I wouldn't object against making DI official, neverthless we had some co-RPing or not.
