' Wrote:Hi I might be tempted to apply. I have been running slaves/cardi on my junker ship The.Betty for ages, and used that to fund my OC characters, and it would be cooler to just go all out OC. Although I wonder about the ID usage - freelancer OR OC? And diplomacy - if you choose an OC ID, Liberty lawfuls can't be neutral. From a power-gamer perspective, a Freelancer ID is far superior (except from a more limited transport size, I believe), but an OC ID might be cooler / fit better with the concept I have in mind for an 81 Syndicate character. Also, how will other factions react if 81 tagged ships also include OC ID's? Wont that reflect negatively on the faction as a whole?
We are currently using the Freelancer ID for our transports and the Outcast ID for escorts and research vessels. Basically, if you don't plan on docking on a lawful base then go with the Outcast ID. And no nothing we have done, do, or will do should be reflecting badly on the faction. As for recruitment - feel free to apply. Link is at the bottom of the original post.:)

Ah. Well of course they'd be friendly, I forgot to put that in the diplomacy section.. *smacks self*
As for 'using them,' no I don't think we'll be doing too much with them around this time. But in the future probably yes. Right now there's just not much of a drive, need, or want to negotiate with the junkers.
In-RP our manpower right now is focused on mending ties with the rogues, us going directly to them and them coming directly to us. - Just a lil' update.
If you're a smuggling faction and you run through the Sigmas, the 81 will probably run into trouble with the GMG. Might want your diplomacy to reflect this?
Do your FL IDed smugglers intend to sell contraband directly on Manhattan for example, or sell it to the middlemen in the respective Houses, like Junker and Liberty Rogues stations and bases?

Added GMG. They will be considered hostile though in-RP they shouldn't know who we are just yet, so that may buy us one or two free passes by them if we're not carrying anything suspicious. Wonders of being sneaky!

It will depend on the highest ranking player's decision whom is currently in the group. Though I'd prefer if we dock on Manhattan. "We'll be FR5ed" you say? That's only if they spot us. Personally, I like the challenge of trying to sneak by and think all my crew can do it.
Update: The roster is currently out of date. We have 11 members, though don't expect a parade, some are inactive.
