An idea for a Trader Faction

[Tomtomrawr]

Hello everyone, i have an idea for a new trader faction. Here is a basic story for it, still not finished yet.

It began in 810 AS, when more robots were being used to pilot trader ships. Millions of pilots lost there jobs over this. Many of the people who lost there jobs joined multiple pirate guilds, but quickly vanished. In 812 AS the trading organisations of the 4 houses had a meeting and decided something had to be done about the people that were left who were affected by this. The meeting was sabotaged, a group of the people who lost there jobs suicide bombed the meeting, killing the representatives. The remaining people decided to make sure this never happened again. A lose guild was set up in 814 AS to give work to these people, for them to be used for something. No robotized pilots are used in the guild, no robots are used, so everybody has a job to perform. This is the United Traders Union.


OK basicly i have noticed that there are not that many trader factions around. So i am giving this idea that a new united trading faction be set up, consisting of all of the trading factions tags, but with the basic trader ID. They would co-operate with the other trading coperations bases and make the profit needed to survive in the galaxy.

Tag and ID: Any trading coperation tag, but normal trader ID.

Friendlies/Hostiles:

Friendlies:
Ageria Technologies,
Interspace Commerce,

Kishiro Technologies,
Samure Industries,
ALG Waste Disposal,

The 4 Houses.

Hostile:

Well, good for tryin to get it off the ground but I don't think it's much different from independent trading anyways. You all have the same enemies and allies.

I have to ask, is there something wrong with playing a trader who has political responsibilities under a corporation? Why not pick a corporation not yet occupied (Universal Shipping, Kishiro, Cryer, etc.) and play that? It might not have the same freedom as an unaffiliated trader, but it is far better according to Roleplay.

[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.

United Traders Union? You'd have to clear it with the Department of Redundancy Department.

I like the idea. I see nothing wrong with people forming a group that is in it for there own personal gain role-playing a trader, without the political baggage of a house corporation. Could still work as a group, small convoys etc etc. Maybe even encourage some of the people basically doing this anyway to join up and work in a team setting. Could promote more involvement server side (player interaction) and RP. Why be forced to RP a house corporation. Be like a independant truckers union, you haul freight for varies companies but hold no other obligations to them. Move freight from point A to point B, get paid and move on to next job.

I could see this working as a forum RP idea though. I have worked quite a few Industry shows and they all get together talk abou the industry and how to make it better... Then they PARTY! Seriously they party.
