Well, I recommend you not to get one -yet-. Basically, the faction is starting to "develop". My recommendation is to get a Juggernaught, when the faction is "approved", or buy one Capitol ship until then.
Also, I don't see the "Aquilon" (Zoner Carrier) in there.....you forgot or did you omitted that?
Is the man's choice. Plus, seeing a Zoner Faction as a mining coorperation sounds interesting.
Edit: I like you avatar btw:P
Well weve allready got the Klondike ingame, that said its basicly only on to use for diplomacy, and even then PMs are used, and it only actualy travels for a RP reason (IE: a meeting with another faction setup in comms).
We're not exactly doing this for the cash (I DO power mine for cash, but it tends to be with other factions) so much as the RP and general fun player interaction that comes with it.
Actualy Ive got one of the more boring jobs as head of security, since the policy is to not only pay pirates but give em even more and reach a deal.
