What would attract you to a corporate faction?

[Angelfire]

Usually the hard earned cash is not given away.

A membership fee of 10 or more million per week is added to the pot. Loans for Vessels are given but with interest.

The faction funds your initial Vessel while you put in an application for a Capital transport.

When you pay the loan, you replenish Faction funds but also increase the pool which enables the faction to recruit and fund more set ups.

Usually 10 mil is one run or so on a Capital Transport so it's not a big sacrifice for all the Wins you receive in return.

Also:
If the faction RP is really good, players tend to give more freely into the pool and even set up new recruits from their own resources.

When you have ten or more Traders in your faction, you start seeing massive increases in your company pool.

Example:
I Started Sirius-Wide on the USA server. Started from scratch with only 1 Adv Train. After about 1 month we had about 7 members and almost a billion in the bank. (Plus Royal Liners at House planets).

The toughest parts about trading are: finding a great route, getting a ship that has enough cargo space for good Net yield and dealing with profit sapping pirates.

When you have 3 or 4 Trains with a strong escort (Cost per gun comes down when the cost is split), A route given to you on a platter with a massive Trading ship... the game changes dramatically!
