The USC

[Acey]

Hi all, its been a long while...

its only since a couple of days I picked up Freelancer again, that is since Microsoft pulled the plug out of the main server. Recently I found out (on Moddb) that Freelancer mods are still being made, and found out that this server is still running, first of all I want to congratulate the team on that , cheers

now onto the other part...

I would like to introduce another starting clan, and find out if people are interested

the USC (United Sirius-System Company)


the USC is a ruthless trading company, which does not fear to gain the monopoly on the market by force. with that the USC is divided into 3 taskforces:

-The Protectorate
-The Traders
-The Monopolists

The Protectorate's main task is to protect the trading convoys of the USC from pirates and other threats

The Traders obviously use their Freighters and Transports to deliver the goods for the better of the USC

The Monopolists are a special taskforce within the USC, which you are not likely to find among many other trading companies. it is this taskforce that makes the USC both unique and feared in the Sirius-System. Their task is to eliminate potentional concurrents and ensuring the trading monopoly for the USC.

to illustrate the ranking system, Ive made the following ranking tree :


the first two promotions are obviously quickly made

now, I do have one other potential member, but Im looking for more, so I can make this clan really happen. If you are interested to bring back the golden age to the Sirius-System, please post below, using this application form



Kind regards,
Acey

Hi Acey, welcome to the forums

I'm wondering who that potential member is!
I really like the idea though, a trade clan that shoots down other traders because they're in the clans way ;D ;D

not sure what traders gonna think about it though

But are you also meaning some maffia things? like:
"Pay your share, you're on the USC's route!" ?

be carefull with police clans than

looking forward to see you in space!

[Acey]

welcome to you as well

the USC is not pirate clan, a misunderstanding I would like to clear up.

The USC doesn't like picking fights with police or navies, but will fight back when threatend. The USC mainly raids convoys on the outside of the housesystems, but that doesn't mean you are safe within, as higher level Monopolists will be using cloaking devices but also tradelane disruptions and nebulas, minefields and asteroid fields to extend their reach to the inside of the housesystems

Sounds like a really good idea, good luck with it!

[Abyss]

Welcome back and good luck with your clan

[Xardas]

Now thats what i call an enterprising traders clan!

Also i sense some good role play will be going on here!

Great!

Good luck with the clan Acey!

WB m8 and I must say very good idea ;D
Hope everything will go well for you cause I would really like to see your clan in space

[Nosferatu]

Good idea for a clan Acey, and an excellent presentation of you clan goals and structure

If you need any help, all of the Admin staff are great people

[Acey]

thank you all

now that you ask, there are a couple of thing I would like to know:

what I would like to know, how many people are not part of clans yet, because untill now I have almost only met people who already were in a clan and ofcourse the moderators.

And on the forum I read some things about the requirements for a clan, but these only apply when you want a part of the forum or want to claim a system, right? So I can allready start my role as the director of an upcoming enterprise?

And are there some scripts available later on which would allow members to be hostile with interspace commerce and borderworld exports and such, but remain neutral (on the hostile edge) with police and house militaries, when we are ensuring our profits by eliminating other traders?

Yes you can start with role of director , play and promote your clan in space , as good as you did here But for forum recognition and for a chance to compete for a system with other clans here , you have to have all requirements stated here and here

And are there some scripts available later on which would allow members to be hostile with interspace commerce and borderworld exports and such, but remain neutral (on the hostile edge) with police and house militaries, when we are ensuring our profits by eliminating other traders?

As a clan , you need to choose one of the offered factions :

Base roles
Clans can choose from the following base roles for their clan:

Golden Grysanthemums, Hogosha, Liberty Security Force, Liberty Navy, Liberty Police, Gaians, LWB, Kusari Naval Forces, Kusari State Police, Bretonia Armed Forces, Bretonia Police, Bundschuh, Blood Dragons, Rheinland Military, Rheinland Police, Mollys, Gas Miner Guild, Lane Hackers, Unioners, Bounty Hunters, Liberty Rogues, Red Hessians, Corsairs, Outcast, Xenos, Nomads

So , choose one that fulfill max of your wishes when its up to consequences of killing other traders ;D

[Acey]

why can we not choose from more or less neutral factions something like the farmers alliance or something would fit the best in terms of relations with other factions

-hostile with pirates, terrorists and other trade companies and some other (producing) companies

-unfriendly/neutral with police/navy/security forces

-friendly/neutral with most producing companies

-allied with the main suppliers of the USC goods

like say, neutral evil in RPG terms

[Nosferatu]

It is possible that the server owner/programer Eagle might add a faction to the list if you ask. I do not promise he will, but it can do no harm to ask

Ola m8 and WB! Great thing u have on ur mind and I hope u succeed in plans u make!
To clear up this clans things!

Base roles
Clans can choose from the following base roles for their clan:

Golden Grysanthemums, Hogosha, Liberty Security Force, Liberty Navy, Liberty Police, Gaians, LWB, Kusari Naval Forces, Kusari State Police, Bretonia Armed Forces, Bretonia Police, Bundschuh, Blood Dragons, Rheinland Military, Rheinland Police, Mollys, Gas Miner Guild, Lane Hackers, Unioners, Bounty Hunters, Liberty Rogues, Red Hessians, Corsairs, Outcast, Xenos, Nomads

With this thing u pick what factions will be permanent hostile to ur clan considering NPCs! This can affect relations to other clans and also non clan players that have by default assigned or setroled faction affiliation! But, by doing this u have ability to change reputation towards other clans that by default r not that u want them to be - simply ur clan have its own faction! Little confusing I know but maybe someone can clear/correct things better than me.
Bout players, hard to gain in this times, also - good luck.

Login out...

Hello Acey!

I really like your idea of a clan, so I like to sign up for the USC trader division.
in other words,
The USC fleet just received it's first transport

Cheers

[Acey]

you wanted, you got it ;D, please use the application form added to my first post (use paint or something to edit it )

[ajohn]

here you go, have fun ;D

[Acey]

Ok you passed my simple test , welcome to the USC , since you are the only other member now, you have been directly promoted to the high command, but that still leaves one spot in the high command free, I still need a Treasure Guardian (I myself being the Swiss Guard )
