' Wrote:kidd_meier, THAT'S MY POINT! I'd rather spend time fighting for humanity etc but because it doesn't reap any tangible rewards, every now and then I have to make that tedious journey with my load of goods just so I can resupply my fighter or repair my battleship.
Ok, let's look at it RP and story wise. The Order still exists, so it gains funding somehow.
But I am looking at your fraction status and cannot see how you do it. If you want to gain finances in a RP way, there has to be some sort of addition to the politics of the Order that will allow its members to finance themselves RP wise. Otherwise the only way I see is to be funded by the High Command.
Or you may present a case for lowering the prices of only Order ships and equipment sold to full Order members in your guard system. This is in my opinion the logical solution to your problem.
How you gonna pull that of though, I have no clue :wacko:
