I hate mercenary groups that do bounties only. Currently most of them are poorly RP'ed and it looks like I can add this one to that list as well, there is no real story or history behind it. Its just another club of Mercs.
I do appreciate the fact that you wish to be a "teaching" faction for new discovery players, only downside, your not teaching them how to RP, only how to PVP, or atleast it looks like it.
Why do you wish to use the Interspace IFF. This does make you look like your interspace affiliated, I can't see why interspace would sponsor a group shooting pirates, the same pirates might very well be payed off or even supported by Interspace covertly (like the GC).
I admit, I havent seen you in space, but by the looks of it, its just another group of mercs. We have toooo many of those already.
Why not start something more IC based, like a group of "specialists" that are hired to deal with specific groups of pirates using IC ID and stick to the lanes primarily.

We are not mercenaries at first. Secondly, RP is not equal to chat. Clearly annoouncing that target has a bounty on him by our employees and we will proceed to destroy his ship is what I would see as strictly professional conduct of legal Private Security Company, which respects contracts more than earning money.
As for history, this is new company, founded month ago. So history is not present, unless you want daily reports what CEO has done.

I have to disagree here, as PvP is part of RP. Chatting is part of RP as well. These can be mixed together in different quantities to get different qualities, but only how one percieves it.

Fist & Co is subsidiary of Interspace. Interspace Commerce always seeked profits. Possibilities to reap huge profits comes from earning respect and trust. If we would get more friendly with IMG, for example, we might recieve discount for buying Gold Ore from them. That would mean more profit for IC Shipping Division.

Indeed. Currently we are just another group of characters, fulfilling bounties. Yes, we have too many of them, but how many are actually strictly lawful ones? BHG ( NPC ) as far as I know only.

This is IC based a lot. As firstly Fist & Co will cover IC's interests in choosing clients, which can be benificial for business. Such as IMG, as already stated, GMG, etc.

Thank you for feedback. I hope I responded to all raised points. If not, please ask again and I will attempt to answer to those as well.
So anyways. Feedback solely for Fist & Co should be posted here.
We managed to grab contract for Tau region, which I am very proud of, as I suceeded to get what I wished for when creating Fist & Co - simple contracts, which allows less paperwork, but ~same amount of payments, and includes more than two groups into that.
So, 4-group-contract is in my opinion more interesting and fitting that "corporate RP" I seeked for.
We currently have 5 members, so numbers are increasing a bit. I'd like to welcome others as well, to join this ~new group, which PvPs for the fun.
