Faction Creation or Rejection

[McNeo]

Adrian, here is my reasoning for this.

This isn't for me, this is for those who want to form a faction, but don't know where to start, or if they do, they get parts wrong. There is a lot of things to consider when making a faction. You have to start with alignment, then build up and RP history, perhaps including events that happened in the past to trigger your factions formation. Then you consider your faction's current situation and build around this, using information garnered from written sources within Freelancer or otherwise.

You choose your accessible ship lines and weapon restrictions, and consider how your members will be organized, what ranks to make and how they can ascend the ranking order. You find them a place to have fun and you have to organize paperwork with other factions to assign friendly or allied status'.

That is the tip of the iceburg. And I feel this would be helpful if each potential faction leader understood what they got wrong, down to a very fine detail, so they know in which way they could fix it for a resubmission. Usually, it takes a small team of people to compile this information in good time, and I think having all the things to do in specific circumstances in a single place could help them make the right choices, provided they spend the time looking and reading these.

To Xing:

Some small things bring certain factions down. For example, I was thinking of joining the [PRF] with Mandy (as the sso| died), but I gather they weren't accepted for some reason. I must admit, curiosity makes me want to know why they were rejected in a little more detail than just a plain "no", but I am sure I'm not the only one in this position.

Those reasons I list suggest prospective bonus' potentially garnered from this mode of operation, which leaves my, one could say selfish, desire for information out of the equation.

Now, that said, this leaves me open to verbal attack and some one reading my words as they are not meant to be read. I will leave this statement to see if that happens...
