In Vote Natio Octavarium - NO-

[BATGRU Ouroboros CENTCOM]

Our experience with the Natio in and out of RP has been nothing short of stellar. Their RP is impeccable and they're overall pretty cool people to hang around ooRP. Again, best of luck with Officialdom!

I just want to say that you have the most conservative ID request I've ever seen in my life, and you should buff it, damn it. : D


I'm surprised they haven't made you official already.

I would say that adding "Can confiscate X and Y" to ID would be easier, as people would be instantly able to understand what you can do and why.

I agree with this, and we'll be discussing it internally. We only have a few things we consider contraband, so the biggest drawback of this would be that it may be slow to update if diplomacy warrants a new contraband item, or if a new commodity appears that we would consider contraband. To me, that seems pretty minor considering the additional clarity this would provide.

Still, having laws at all does imply that maybe you should be lawful, especially since you don't pirate. I'm not totally sure about it. Outcasts and Corsairs are unlawful, after all, and I suppose that you're probably going to get up to "smuggling" some stuff that the Houses won't appreciate.

Pay no attention to the stolen merchandise and illegal guns behind the curtain.

We're not pirates anymore, though we do intend to interdict Gallic targets of opportunity, but we're still not overly bothered by local cargo regulations.

We have yet to perfect our staff mind control abilities. Though it seems we're getting good at summoning them!

As for why our ID is so passive, NO is, in-RP, thirty thousand people, and while we've had a few small fleets in the past under the banner of the Vagrant Raiders, the original one was a roaming fleet used as a home base for homeless pirates. Since now we have roots put down in Tau-44, our approach going forward is "nothing bigger and no more than would logically be possible to support". We didn't ask for cruisers or battleships on our ID because we haven't the infrastructure to construct and support them either in lore or in game. Our ZoI is no more than we could logically operate in. We have no NPC presence in-game at this point, and I don't foresee us having one anytime in the near future. We don't have our own tech, either.

In short, there's not many additional rights or powers we could add that would feel appropriate to the RP and purpose of the Natio. At most maybe we would consider adding a few specifically named capital ships that we intend to construct over the course of the next six to eight months, but to be honest, I'm not opposed to simply SRPing them based on the RP of their construction instead.

Oh and NO is pretty great I guess. Certainly miles ahead of several factions that have historically gotten officialdom.

Lasciate ogni speranza voi ch'entrate ill inferno.

Best of luck to you guys, though I know you do not need it.
And no worries. 404 will visit you plenty to rile you up.

Thanks! We look forward to pressing you for information.

e: Also y'all we put a second, more active ID proposal in the OP. Tell us if you think it's too hot, too cold, or just right.

I've gotten three factions official before, and can testify that the admins will let you personalise your ID further away from the freelancer ID than that. You will have a highly conservative tech access, which gives you some opportunity to boundary push.


I would consider giving yourself a quick bump to cargo, to 4,800 units. It's an oft-neglected cargo capacity limit, that would let you use the woefully under-utilized 'Titanic' bulk transport - a transport that often gets overlooked by other groups in the favour of 5k transports, yet also fits the civilian/dangerous space niche as it's meant to be quite hardy and modular. There's a whole range of ships in that bracket that nobody really uses due to 5ks, battle transports, or light transports being the received go-to choices. That would round the ID out quite nicely, and give you a bit more wiggle-room logistically if you want to do convoys at any point in the future.

Uh, 4300 is already pushing the limits of FL IDed based quasi-lawful faction and 4800 would be over the top as it is. If people want to trade, they should use corporate IDed ships.

They're a micro-state, not a gang of mercs.
