gedren_y Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Is the new Colonial Governor of the Southern Isles, Captain Jonathan Cooke, RN, finally going to do something about those 'Corrington documents' that got locked in his strongbox months ago? Quote
Mesabi Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 So... I'm looking to join BoBS under Corrington. I don't really understand EGS yet, and the fleet rules. If I join, would I be able to submit a Warship as a build? I saw the fleet maintenance costs, and I'm not sure what I would be able to do for starting builds. This really looks like a cool thing to join, but I don't know exactly what I can do if I start playing. Quote
SkaForHire Posted March 3, 2017 Author Posted March 3, 2017 You can do anything -- you don't have to be part of the EGS at all, or you can build and be eased into it. If you were to build a warship that did not fall under your free ship slot, then I am sure we could loan you the money to register it, or if you were building it for the crown, the crown would pay for it. Build away! Quote
Mesabi Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Is there a link anywhere to the EGS? I can't seem to find it. Quote
SilentWolf Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Right now fleet maintenence only applies to the faction owned ships not player owned ships. Warships come in all sizes all the way down to a 1A. So you could do one as a free ship or a larger one as Ska said. The EGS is all the sea and land based mechanics where you buy licenses and earn DBs. Some people don't want to be part of that and just want to build. However, I enjoy the process of building and licensing to earn more to license more to earn more....etc. Quote

Mesabi Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Can someone invite me to the Corrington PM? Thanks Quote
SilentWolf Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 The request has been put in to people with appropriate levels of power to get you added. Hopefully it happens shortly. Quote

Mesabi Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 So, I've been looking to start a trade company as a part of my story. And Corrington doesn't really have any rules on Trade companies. I know we have the science fraternities, but I'm not really interested in those. Can I apply for a Trade Company? I have 2/3 of the MOC's done (A Headquarters, A trade ship) All I need is a warehouse, which I should have done by the end of the week. Which brings me to my second question, do I need to license my warehouse for it to count for a Trade company? I have 2 licenses done already and I want to make the third one count. Quote
Bregir Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 @Mesabi: The rules for trade companies are, as far as I remember, the same across the factions, and I see no issue for you in starting a trade company, as long as you meet the requirements. (As far as I remember, the three builds are all you need) I think those builds should probably be licensed in the name of the trade company in question, but I am not sure the rules are really so strict. IC, at least, they should belong to the company. In any case, I would license them over time, but I understand that you want to use your 3 build limit for this month cleverly. Remember, builds can be licensed at any time, not just when they are posted. (Also, the ship license does not count towards the monthly limit of 3) Should your trade company need a loan, I should happily be willing to oblige, as I am certain several of our countrymen will too.

If I am not wrong, faction leaders are not so keen granting a Trade Company Charter (so a TC has its own rights and account and can chase a specific monopoly). You will have to show your value for the nation and you also need to have at least 2 members, maybe even more. It took MAESTRO 10 months before we had our first monopoly. That doesn't mean you can't have a non-official trade company. There are various minor TC's around to back up player stories (like the WETEC of Silentwolf and CSC of Mike S for example) Quote
Tomsche Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 And then there is that Half-Half thing called Maestro Corrington, which is like a special case as it spans two nations, is a daughter branch of the ESL Maestro corp, but is settled and rooted in Corrington. Which makes it like an independant company (we don`t benefit from the Maestro monopoly for example), but has close working ties as such between the Corrington government on the one side, and one of the three big TC`s in ESL on the other. Which is perfectly workable within about 11 out of the 12 months of a year Don`t ask "what if a war happens", that`s a bridge we don`t had to / nor hope to ever tackle, but it might be intresting to start a non official, personal TC (Maestro Cor came about as we are all in the same LUG, making it easier to coordinate and "gossip" at events hehehe) and work to become a subsidiary of a bigger one for example. Some benefits are that while Maestro Corrington can easily depend on Maestro builders to deliver it`s ships, as long as the shares are split between both the branches "at ratio" like with shares.
