Gas Miner's Guild

[Athenian]

The infocard on the Kusari Explorer is pretty much in keeping with the GMG description, ditto the Viper, Taiidan models, civ ships; chuck in the CT, Whale, GMG miner and you have a very nice and distinct set-up.

On the GMG faction description there are two important words "professional" and "tight-knit". You guys will be under a lot of scrutiny in 13. Main problem I see for you is to overcome Sigma 13's problems, but I imagine with the GMG base being far from the NB JH they won't be as bad as at Yanagi. The temptation may be to attempt to exercise control over the system as a whole, which is like solving the global credit crisis while committing seppuku with a rusty spoon. The longevity of the faction will stem from expanded RP opportunities, considering the eventuality of the Diamond-Niobium route vanishing. My two cents: look closely at the last attempt at the GMG or maybe talk to other faction leaders to see if you can get some leeway to allow you to establish yourselves there.

The amount of traffic in 13 shouldn't influence you into making silly diplomacy decisions or making assertions you can't (yet) enforce. Perhaps avoiding 13 completely at first will allow you to get a picture of how your faction will best function - in terms of status, the GMG is equally important to all of the Houses, as powerful as the Zoners, just not as wide-spread.

One suggestion: develop the ranking system. Five main executives all on equal footing - perhaps divide up responsibilities so each exec has something to develop; allow for transfers across divisions and make room for people to get promoted: it's nice to have something to aim for when you join a faction. As I see it, you could divide the workload - one exec to manage security division; one for mining; one for trade; one for diplomacy (helps to avoid making contradictory statements); one for facility management: you have four stations altogether to maintain a presence in. Different people play the game for different reasons - you guys have the opportunity to really draw in quality and varied members by offering something for everyone.

I'll hopefully apply to join later when I have a bit more time. Hmmmmm skyblasts are nice turrets...... Best of luck with it.
