' Wrote:I am in agreement with you, I currently see no way that Artemis is unique from, say, the Bounty Hunters Guild or just another Mercenary faction trying to get in on the big guns. But the way I see this is that if this was real, would there really be one big all-mighty PMC that controlled the Sirius Sector? There would be loads of little ones fighting for the most control and therefore the most business. I see this as a way of making the game a slight bit realer by creating competition for the BH Guild.
No problem mate, and thanks for the response.
That is why the Guild exists, and many of us put petty differences aside to create a new union of operators providing an array of security services at a reaonable fee. If you are our competition, remove BHG ships from your line. No can do. Would sir be interested in the stock we have just acquired through a civilian dealer?
' Wrote:An explanation of this would be good. Mercenary traditionally means "Works for Pay" this is much more vigilante and even then All Sirius Pirate Hunting factions are very very much frowned upon, normally from a great height and very messily.
As a ASPHF (nice acronym) you will have to meet bvery high standards. Have a transparent rp justification for everything you do, contracts arranged through diplomacy with other factions is one way to go.
Mercenary factions are difficult to establish with any real longevity in game. And the ship choice is one way of establishing that. You cannot have two masters - all real life mercenary organisations have at least some political influence in their choice of work. Even the most amoral, apolitical "dogs of war" are individuals and allow moral and political considerations to shape their career paths.
