The Raiding Party is proud to announce the construction of its first orbital base, the Bonanza Orbital Refinery. This full-scale production facility boasts 8 furnaces, 10 advanced constructors, a T2 repair bay and console, 36 grow plots, full medical facilities, and quarters for crew and officers. We also have the first player owned teleporters on the server, between this facility and the refinery station on Akua's moon.
All faction members who join below level 25 receive 150k credits when they reach level 25, and
@Dave got a special 100k bonus for being the first on the server. Once the orbital refinery is fully stocked, all faction members will be able to request (and have delivered) the official Raiding Party ship package. This includes one microtank HV, one fast attack heavy HV, one light (not warp capable) SV, one heavy fighter (warp capable) SV, and one CV to carry them all (and raid the solar system)*. Additional rewards and competitions to come as I think of them.
*You may ask for these all at once, at any level, or - if you prefer to fight your own way up - staggered throughout the normal progression of HV->SV->Warp SV->CV. Alternatively, you can ask for the package's equivalent in blocks or ingots.
**The Raiding Party is open to all players, of all styles. While I will be concentrating on PvP and hardcore PoI raiding, faction members will not be expected to join in or to have a similar playstyle. If you want to sit on a safe PvE world and play Minecraft with flyable ships, you can do that. We'll probably have contests for ship design, base design, etc. as time goes on.
***All of this assumes we have an influx of players.
