Buccaneers NPC faction

[Capt. Henry Morgan]

The suggestions come up more than once, from people within the Buccaneers, as well as people outside it. I've been putting it off until we're more established, but in light of how much I'm hearing it, I think now's the time to open this up for discussion.

We're thinking of the Buccaneers being made into an NPC faction, along with a base or two. No more than two, though. We don't want bases all over, since we're rather new in-RP, as well.

Right now, we're using the Freelancer tag with the generic Pirate ID, which is working well enough for our needs right now. We've got some rather sketchy RP as to where we're docking, though, since the Junkers wouldn't likely want a group of pirates basing off of one of their bases. We RP around that by saying that our flagship, the Leviathan is actually our mobile base of operations, but that's an imperfect solution at best. No matter how we handle the docking issue, though, it'll be always an imperfect solution.

Our own bases would really simplify things, I think, since we don't fit into any of the vanilla molds. This has been done before for the SCRA and CR, so we were thinking that this might be done for us as well. Of course, on the other hand, we do recognize that we're still rather new as a faction, while those two were very firmly established when they got NPC'd.

Basically, we thought we'd open this thread, and get the feel for the community's thoughts on this, and whether or not it's a realistic possibility.
