Powerplay YOUR minor FACTION

[Gen-Han-Solo]

The Rangers have been in the game from the kickstarter stage.

We started playing in Alpha and chose an area and a minor faction to expand and become allied with it was working, and we were taking out the pirates helping as many new players as we could and yes having a lot of fun.

Then POWERPLAY was put in the game instead of more content and because all the pirates were put in the area we had been playing, in and helping new players find a safe place to trade and expand we had to move.

We started again but sadly because of POWERPLAY a lot of players and member of The Rangers stopped playing.

We chose a new minor faction and continue to help as many new players as we could some have joined The Rangers most just say thank you for helping, and join other groups or simply went back and started to play in solo or with small groups of friends. We have created a very safe area for new players as we now already control TEN systems, sadly most members still think POWERPLAY was and is a very bad idea.

So even though we are one if not the most successful groups in game unless all the members want to take part in the new CG for the next POWERPLAY group, we will just opt out and continue to help new players and create a very large safe area for players wanting to play in open play the hole time.
Below is the thread for listed members of The Rangers the gaps are for those that are no longer playing as -RANGERS- the hope is that they remember how they started and why they have become so successful.
And yes we hope they remember who their friends are.

Why is this in the PP subforum?

 

[Gen-Han-Solo]

Because player backed NPC factions will be creating the next POWERPLAY group.
And if the members of The Rangers and any new members want to take part we will be trying to create the next POWERPLAY group.

Then why post, especially in a new thread vs the one created for people to enter their groups?

That's actually incorrect from what I have read player minor factions that have been added to the game and have their own systems are in the running to become a power play faction not player backed npc factions.
I also believe it says said they have to have expanded into at least 2 other systems. Could be wrong on the expansion part. Our player faction is in the beginning process of our first expansion. I know some other player factions that have 10+ systems.

SixxGunss: It's least one expansion to qualify for the wildcard position (which are the ones in my primer I've been writing), which we will vote on. They will then join through 5 frontier have selected (with their permission) in competing by CG to determine who is the next power. The other 5 is based in the number of expansions they've done and their willingness to participate.

Hope that clears things up

Thanks Goose. After I wrote this I re-read the post "Rise to Power" and they have already announced the 5 main player factions with the wildcard to be announced later. I see your faction is in the wild card list, congrats.
Just letting the OP know that his info on player back npc factions was incorrect. Unless he meant player controlled minor factions and just worded it wrong. No NPC factions are in the running.

Not a problem. However, it's my old faction that's in the running. My INARA sig is borked and not updating for some reason .

Sorry I have been away from the game and forum for a few weeks but you are very sadly wrong because we were asked if we wanted to opt out, or take part because the majority wanted to opt out we have.
