Official Faction Bases

[Kal-el]

Let me tell you what this thread is not nor intended to be.

1. To make individuals richer
2. Make an official faction richer
3. Give anyone an unfair advantage
4. Make ships and equipment prices lower
5. MAKE MORE WORK FOR ADMINS

The last one is in all caps to obviously stress a major point. It is also the reason in my original post to make it easy on them by just writing some new code to make it happen and then they are done with it. Not to add more to their plate by making them monitor it.

My intent was to help official factions. Look around. Most are inactive. Especially the trading ones. Dauman just disbanded. See where I am going?

Where is RepEX? Gateway? Planetform? Bowex? Just to name a few. That is my point. I also realize that people enjoy variety and decide to play their other characters. But come on. To the point where you never or hardly see any trading factions?

This is an idea that was SOLEY meant to improve faction activity, faction RP, and interaction between factions. Nothing else.

Most factions run on donations from its members, however, you leave it up to an individual to donate or not, well 99.99% of the time they do not donate to help their faction. Why? Because they earned their credits and want to use them how THEY see fit. Rightfully so.

I am not saying this is the great fix for all trading factions or other official factions. But you have to admit it would be a start.

Wasn't the mining nerfed to get people to stop camping in one system? To get them to move around Sirius? Think about this. Do you not think that this will get people to be more active especially when they are working toward the cause of their faction?

I also see how other factions are creating contracts amongst each other. I personally would like to see more of this interaction, but it won't happen if a select few in each official faction has to pay for it. I also believe that this improves RP.

I have proposed in the past and so have others concerning attaching commodities to id's and giving them a bonus for carrying those goods. That was obviously shot down.

Most understood my OP. I just wanted to clarify my intentions for making it for those who appear to have misunderstood it.

Edit: What if there was an FL hook command that would allow a faction to create a code based upon the contracts they create. Meaning, if Daumann and Samura have a contract for Samura to bring goods to any of their bases. Dauman gives them a code that is attached to a specific commodity. When it is used the agreed upon amount is paid to them.
