Creating a Faction, have a few questions.

[Pyromaniac]

Well Russ just about answered your questions so I'll just add on how to get started:

Make a post about your faction in one of the sections here. I don't know which exactly so maybe someone else can point you in the right direction as far as that goes.

This post needs to be fairly detailed and should at the very least include:

Factions Name, Faction Objectives (I.E. Protect <strike>'merica</strike> Liberty from terrorists, cause the downfall of all corporations, etc.) Zone of Influence (essentially where members of the faction are allowed to operate and where they aren't), your factions diplomacy, a backstory as to how you're faction came into being inRP, some kind of hierarchy (I.E. Ranks) but my warning there would be don't put in too many different ranks especially when you're just starting up, make sure you put up a roster of who's currently in your faction. Be sure to put their inRP name and their OORP forum account name, and tech that you're allowed to use. Check the tech charts for that. The ID your faction uses will ultimately determine what tech you can and cannot use but be careful to stay within the limits of that.

Other things you probably should have but aren't necessary:

A kickass logo. Every faction needs a cool logo eventually.

After you've made that post people will give you feedback on whether they think your faction is a good idea or not. If you get generally positive feedback then you're well on your way to being integrated into the Disco community.

Now it's all about patience. You'll have to make an active prescence both on the forums and in game if you want people to take you seriously.

Once you have a decent number of people in your faction (I think it's 8 not sure though) and people are starting to know who you are, and you have boatloads of money you can apply for official faction status. Official faction status gets you a lot of perks and stuff but also gives you a lot more responsibilities.

Officiality is also extremely expensive. I don't know a lot about the application process so I won't say anything about it.

Once you are official though you can really start doing things. As Russ mentioned you can buy systems for your faction (costs 1 billion credits though) and buy space stations and stuff (also extremely expensive.)

I think that just about covers everything you need to know about setting up a faction and nursing it all the way to officiality. Because I'm a nice guy I'll even give you an example of a good set up form. It should look something like this

No, I'm not biased. What are you talking about?

Anyway, hope that helped! And hope I'm not wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me if I am.

Cheers,
-Pyro
