Faction Proposal

[Vero]

....As to long life - this clan was first started on Jolt in 2002, with periods of activity on NiMA and FLU 24-7. The rollcall of past and present members exceeds 250. So, we've been around for a while now, ...

Actually the game was released in March 2003 so the WT didnt start until after that. At least on Freelancer.

The WT used to be very active on Raw server also, with 10+ members online at a time. Catfish and then later Excalibur did a good job doing what they did.

But here on Discovery what youd be doing is killing some of the RP opportunities for traders hiring escorts, and local police engaging pirates. Lets face it; there are not a lot of things to do as a police force if someone else is fighting off the criminals in your ZOI.

If traders want protection while passing through systems like Magellan and Kepler they should be hiring escorts. Having free escorts all the time will mean even less work for those who are looking for pay.

I liked the WT a lot as a group, but I just dont see the White Tiger role play as being a benefit to Discovery overall.

Perhaps adapting the WT to a Mercenary unit that hires on as escorts would better fit Disco. Instead of offering your services for free; being willing to work for lower pay might encourage more traders to hire you, while bringing some healthy competition to escort prices.
