Ageira Technologies Faction

Ageira Technologies and Engineering

This is the formal proposal for the creation of Ageira Technologies and Engineering (AT&E)

1. The founding members of AT&E are: Admonitor00101, =Space_Cowboy00101=, NWolf00101, and [Incom]Dramor_Cronix.

2. Our founding members have collectively spent a lot of time on Freelancer and Discovery. Cronix has played FL since its release, allthough he is relativley new to Disco. Cowboy has been on Disco for around 8 months. NWolf and myself are the newest to Disco, spending about 2 months on the server. Even in my inexperience in Disco, I am a former SA pilot, Aiden Pharar, so I know the rules of the server pretty well. Also, I have spent a lot of time on the forums finding out what is in RP and what isn't. This is why I feel I am qualified to be the CEO of AT&E. NWolf will serve as the CFO, with his other char, the AT&E bank. Cowboy is the CSO, Chief Strategy Officer, who will manage company policy. Cronix's position on the Board is imminent, but not final. As CEO I will monitor the forums, handle diplomatic situations, and of course oversee the running of the company in its entirety.

3. The following are the guidelines and company policy.

Objective: The main objective of Ageira Technologies and Engineering, here out known as AT&E, is to make money in the trading of goods and services across all systems of Sirius. AT&E will stay out of systems that do not have trade lanes or jump gates.

Affiliation: AT&E is affiliated with Ageira Technologies. AT&E ships will have Ageira ID and IFF. AT&E also has a good relationship with Deep Space Engineering, Daumann Construction, and lawful factions of Liberty and Bretonia.

Fleet: The AT&E fleet will be comprised of mostly trading vessels. However, fighters will also be employed. Most of the AT&E fleet will spend its time making trade runs between systems. The fighers will be assigned to patrol AT&E bases and also escourt transports on trade runs. The standard fighter that AT&E will fly is the Havoc Mk II, which was developed by Ageira and is available at the Battleship Mississippi in Texas. All AT&E personnel are required to maintain a fighter to defend interests at all times.

Insignia: All AT&E ships are to have the insignia [AT&E] before their name. Transports and freighters are to have [T] preceding the vessels name. The insignia for a trader would be [AT&E][T]-Ship name. Fighters are held to the same insignia. A small change is to me made though. A fighter will use the pilots name, either real or role play. [AT&E]Joe.Smith. No two ships in the fleet can have the same name.

Trading: AT&E will comply with the rules and regulations set forth by the four houses of Sirius. AT&E traders will not carry any illegal cargo at any time. All traders must understand that they work for AT&E, therfore a percentage will be taken from their profits by the CFO. At the end of a period yet to be determined a percentage of AT&Es profits will be returned. AT&E will set up all new traders with a trading vessel and will assist employees in purchasing new ships. The goal is to have every trader under the AT&E banner in Heavy Tankers. Traders will have to work their way up to the Heavy Tanker. Every milestone dollar amount given to the CFO the Trader will receive a ship upgrade. Traders can also buy their own traders if they wish as long as it agrees with role play.

Escourts: The main function of an escourt is to assist the freighters on their runs. Ideally, we want two fighters per tanker. The fighters will be held somewhat accountable if their tanker is destroyed. Fighters will be rewarded for defending any AT&E vessel from other players. Fighters will also be paid every week.

Other regulations: AT&E personnel will not collect bounties or pirate other players. Also, regulating contraband will be left to the authority of the houses. AT&E ships will not fire on any friendly or neutral ship unless fired upon first. Any pirates that are encountered names should be written down and reported to AT&E fleet commanders. All AT&E personnel are to stay out of the Indepentant Worlds.

Last Tidbits: Just as the Outcasts control the export of cardamine in Malta and the Corsairs control the export of Artifacts out of Crete, AT&E would like to control the export of Gate/Lane parts in Colorado. This would be the only jurisdiction that AT&E would have in any system. AT&E is a corporation, not a military organization. We understand we do not control any system. Our bases of operation are Pueblo Station and Detroit Munitions. Also, we are requesting to have our corporate headquarters on Planet Denver. This wouldn't mean we own the planet, rather we have a building there and that is the end of it. Finally, the 500 million credits are stored on the character [AT&E]Bank.

Once again we would like to thank you for expressing interest in AT&E. We look forward to hearing feedback from you soon

Howdy Admonitor!

First look over suggests you've got a level head on your shoulders in respect to this, but if you're proposing an official faction as opposed to simply informing us that you plan to begin operating, I would suggesting looking over some of the faction creation resources available to you in this sub-forum to lend your request a little more structure.

That and, of course, ensuring that the 500 million credits have been secured by one admin or another.

I'm looking forward to looking this proposal over again when it has a touch more in the way of specific details!

[GhostFace]

I'm saying exactly what dusty said, look over some of the other faction proposals and re-work it a little

A little background info for AT&E:

I, Aiden Pharar, was born into the house of a trader. My father, Logan Pharar, owned a small business that traded goods, first in Texas then throughout Liberty. As soon as I was able to fly, I begged him to let me fly a second ship to help out in making money. Buy the time I was 17 he finally let me. On my 18th birthday I came home only to find our apartment in shambles. It seemed as if my father had done something to upset the Lane Hackers and they had come to take their revenge. After I had no more family and had no knowledge of how to run a small buisness, I decided the best option was for me to join the navy. I started taking missions from them, trying to do the best I could to kill any Lane Hacker I saw. Finally I was selected into the Southern Alliance. I trained as a fighter pilot and just served my time. Upon being honorabley dissmissed I wanted to get into the buisness world. My military training and do anything to get the job done attitude helped me quickly rise through the ranks of several smaller companies. Having accumulated some wealth I contacted some potential investors to form the administrative branch of Ageira Technologies. These investors were the filthly rich venture capitalist Wolf.Starr and the slippery Spike Speigel. Together we bought some ships and hired a few others to raise the money in addition to our own funds to start up Ageira Technologies and Engineering.

We know of another group, Lane Security, that is a securities firm along the trade lanes. I hope to contact the Director of this group to look into a possible merger that would make AT&E into a trading and securites firm.

Our company policies are mentioned in the above post.

Please respond with any feedback

Q.1 Isn't Ageira one of the founding three? How is the AT&E relationship to that founding company...of all Sirius? When did Ageira make another branch? How does your Roleplay fit into the Ageira company already established?

Q.2 Are you claiming CEO-ship over Ageira?

Seek fun and you shall find it. Seek stuff to Q_Q about and you'll find that, too. I choose to have fun.

[Kuraine]

Hmm, your proposal seems reasonably well thought out and I like it overall. However, I do have to ask why you are wanting to call it Ageira Technologies & Engineering, and not simply Ageira Technologies?

Until this is covered, this topic stays in the regular Factions Forum : http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13729
Saying that the 500 million credits are available is not enough. Until they have been collected, this goes nowhere.

And I suggest reading this thread also : http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=8996

Until this proposal follows the examples that Kress and Dusty Lens laid out there for what a faction proposal should look like, this won't be considered for official status.
Specifically, we need to see a Diplomacy chart, ship list, and a weapons list at a bare minimum. Take a look at the other commercial factions for more ideas.

I decided that AT&T sounds better than just simply AT. Also this allows for another division to be under Ageira for another faction.

Hmm, that sounds reasonable, although personally i'd say go the whole hog and assume the mantle as *THE* Ageira Technologies, as I seriously doubt anyone else will likely want to create an AT faction any time soon, at least heh. Still, it looks good and would be nice to see Ageira around.
