what about an additional IMG affliated faction?

[cabinn]

WOW... There are so many posts in the other locked thread that I would love to reply to - but since it is locked I can't - without tedious copy and pasting. So I will just make seemingly random statements...


Corsairs:

I love Chopper's suggestion to handle the corsair/outcast diplomacy problem. We can be green with the official Corsair factions - benitez and the TBH if they are in agreement and we will be hostile to indie corsairs. BUT we should have rules of engagement. We should be hostile Indy corsairs in Omega 7 - because they raid us. When we run into Indy corsairs in other areas - we should be nuetral to them unless they attack.


Battlestars

No more than one in the faction and only brought out for special events


ZOI

Zone of influence... We can indeed be found anywhere - looking for better mining opportunities. I have RPed my char Starless Black this way for months. But we need to set an example here. Miners and Transports (with escorts) can be anywhere - but the cargo should make sense. And we should leave the capships in the systems where we have bases with occassional times where we venture in mass to do a big mining RP event. And even then - no more than 1 Albatross in the group.


Faction name

I am cool with us sticking to the 'Independent Miners Guild' and not coming up with a name that confuses other players. I have an idea for character prefixes.

[img]-Name

The use of small letters gives us a trendy logo look to our names and lets anyone using [IMG] that doesn't want to join keep their name.

We could even drop the brackets....

img-Starless Black

As for suffixes - I am agreeable if we work out something no too complicated.


Background info:

Ian - is there a way with your program to get dumps of all the rumors/news items that mention the IMG? I want to complie everything so that our story is rock solid.
