Thread: An Attempt to Stay Together
I'm sure it's possible, but a big part of it is the overall health of the Pilot community on your server, expecially if you plan on space PvP. Unless you're a large mixed guild, you will need opponents.
For all intents and purposes my guild/town is a Space guild/town, since thats where the majority of our money comes from. You won't have to worry about income, as space loot is lucrative, even if miningturns out to be more hassle than it's worth.
Try to get in touch with some of the people on starsider who play in space a lot, I'm sure they'll be able to direct you to the pilot/space based guilds.

Ok space jockeys, I'd like to bounce an idea off of the community.
When, back in early '03, my friends and I (all hardcore Star Wars nerds...) decided to jump into Galaxies, it was for 3 major reasons:
1) Space Combat
2) Bounty Hunting
3) Jedi
Because, when it comes down to it, that's the heart and soul of Star Wars, imho.
Now that #'s 2 and 3 are pretty borked for the time being, and the MAJORITY of my long-time cohorts are searching for entertainment elsewhere...including myself...I suddenly got nostalgic...and I don't really want to leave..but playing is, well...I won't go there...there's enough posts about it. ANYWAY!!!! To my point.
I am thinking of proposing that my P.A. become a space-based one. We spend the majority of our time in JTL, and with space mining coming out, it gives our crafters a source of actually getting resources.
Has anyone done this before? Can it be done? Please, let me know. I've been around Sunrunner a long time, and leaving is really sucking.
No flames, please. I'm really trying to find reasons for my friends and I to stay.
Is a 'space guild' plausible?
I'd like to discuss this here, but if some of you don't want to post on here, simply email me. rebelsanctum[at]houston.rr.com
Thanks in advance....my P.A.s survival may depend on this.
Im a mercenary from BRIA Galaxy. And yes it is possilbe. I am hired to help people do missions and also fly with them in deep space and let me tell you that I have seen both imperial and rebel space PAs. They battle alot and me... well im in a PA full of neutrals. The House of Fion. So my buissness dosent mix in with the HOUSE but if they need me I am there. I have flown both rebel and imperial missions and as a mercinary continue to do so.
I have no qualms or pickings about who is who in the Galactic Civil War as I am of criminal faction and hold my Faction Points equally though I used to be rebel in Bloodfin. I have served the Empire and have badges from service there, I have also worked for the rebellion but turned in my camos because basically I am in it for myself. Profits is the name of the game in merc work so I have been getting along with both sides.
Me and my partner help those in need and in turn we get paid to do so. So all in all its alot of fun flying for space PAs.
Yes it has been done, and been done well. Starsider has several very successful guilds based in space, on both the rebel and imperial side. Neutrals, not so much due to our lack of content, but it is very doable. But like an above poster said, its also dependent on the space population of your server.
Of course,if you could try to talk you PA into moving to a server where a good population of pilots is gaurenteed....
