I have Highly contemplated this:
Junkers
Orbital
Read the description of Curacao and visit the Trader on the Hawaii, I think it is obvious orbital is at least white to smugglers.
Sorry that I havent reposted the background with this, but note that I had the first several times..
The character I have been playing is The Merovingian program from the Matrix movie series. A little background is HERE. In a nutshell, he smuggled himself out of the matrix in several pieces of hardware, and after the invention of optical computer chips re assembled his core program. He then took over a cloned body. I used the mechanism from the movie The 6th Day... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_6th_Day This coincidentaly explains respawning, and why everyones body is "Trent"
Quote:Virtually unknown to anyone outside of the company, Replacement technologies has perfected the process of human cloning with the use of a system called syncording, where you have your eyes scanned and they get a disc copy of all of the information that's in your brain, and they use "blank" human bodies that they have stored. That way, it takes about 2 hours to completely clone a human. Such is the case of the XFL's top quarterback, who is killed during a game, but is then cloned and brought back for the 2nd half of the game without anyone knowing.
Since he was a program he simply hacked one of these stations and took over a 'blank body'. There was a very similar incident in the matrix reloaded when Smith jacked Banes body. So with a body The Merovingian began smuggling immediately and began to re-build his 'empire'. In reference to the movie and to keep the RP aligned with it he had a network of both legitimate and non legitimate dealings. This will be the faction involved in the non legitimate dealings.
Every time you bring a load of 3000 or more counterfit software to Arranmore base, you free another AI who is embedded in the code on the software. This is how you get your crew members. One crew member per 3k of software brought to the base, as many as you want.
Quote:I. How to create basic faction, clan, group without affiliation or home system?
1) Each faction has only one leader. Leader must have at least one character of level 60 or above.
2) Leader should choose an ID tag that all members of the group will get after level 40.
3) Post your faction idea in Faction feedback forum. Ask about admins' opinion! This will help you on next stage....
5) Post your faction description, ID status, RP story, member list, diplomatic relations with all or most other factions, and any other information you see fit in the Faction Creation forums:
We're only on step 3 here. When I said this is not the place for our backstory I thought that would be sufficient, and I thought it was cordial.
