Hello fellow CMDR's,
I want to bring the conversation of my beloved explorer's community on the impending new feature from FD to allow Minor Factions created and run by CMDR's. As you might be aware, the application process has started already for groups and this will be a reality in game very soon.
From various conversations here in the forum, in game and in private, I know that many of us have dreamed about having a system to come back to, a system that would have High Tech, Reduced Prices in Asps, Free Advanced Discovery Scanners, pays double for data, has no pirates but a committee of welcoming ships doing a parade on your return, that is as far as possible from the bubble, has a neutron, a black hole, and a O star in the middle, and that it can run by a sign on the office window that reads "Gone Exploring, come back in few months!".
Well, I might have stretched the dream a little bit too far with the free scanner thing, but you got the point! Many in here share the dream of having a Home that makes sense to our profession and that protects our interest.
Through the past few months, some of us have worked towards that goal. We have chosen a system that made sense for us, pick a minor faction that resonates with our own views, and fought for it! Some of you that have been around long enough, know how vocal I have been with my ELEU-SANTJALAN campaign on behalf of the Social Eleu Progressive Party, for instance. But I am far from being the only one as other CMDR's have done similar things here and have created formal groups and even websites and chats!
In the face of what's coming, we have two options: support and pledge to each of the already formed and on going nations that are about to be FD certified, or, drop all these independent initiative to come all together to create a new, broader nation for explorer's, as a community.
Either way we go, I think it will still be a win-win situation. I am not rooting for a particular choice here, as much as I am trying to lay out the situation for us so we can take educated decisions as a community.
If we decide to go with our separate states, we should know what states are those, their leaders, their economics and government system, etc. Use this very thread to do exactly so, promote your explorer faction, let us know what you got and why people should join. Knowing all the factions that we are forming, keep us in touch and communicated to work together as articulated states, under a common goal: a coalition of systems, a United Systems of sorts working towards the same general direction.
If we decide to go under a single, unified Nation, we should start the conversation on how are we going to define such group, what system would it be, who would be in the ruling council, etc. But this would also require all smaller and current initiatives to come together in favor of a new blank slate, and start our nation from scratch, as a community project instead. Equally exciting, if you ask me.
Although I appreciate some offers to join particular factions in some systems in the last few weeks, I am -naturally- way too invested in SEPP at this point as to drop it for a similar proposal. I want to take the opportunity to extend an invitation to all those CMDR's who are looking for a home system, to come to ours and make it yours! I am needing CMDR's that share that dream with me in this independent, uncontrolled systems and grow the SEPP nation. We are democratic, we have rares, high tech, agriculture, industrial, pristine metallic rings, scientific outposts, shopping mall outposts, and a wonderful location away from powers, and close to the edges of the bubble. But we are also, only two CMDR's and we are needing more to join us! And now, would be the perfect timing as we are getting ready to postulate SEPP as a group faction.
So, if we go individually, let it be know that ELEU-SANTJALAN-ALOWIS is a growing nation under SEPP influence and we'll be fully supportive to the Explorer's community and the League of Explorer's Nations, shall one be created.
If we go as a community, let's then start the conversation on feasibility and a way to achieve one Nation, under the Stars, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all!
Let's share our thoughts and comments on this matter here!
