Any info from any Frontier employee about PMF would be helpful

I am trying to figure out what is going on with player factions. Brett C. sent me an email confirming our group's/faction's approval. (Daily Routine Gaming/Daily Routine Incorporated) I noticed a post a few days later with updated factions with no mention of our PMF and then the subsequent post about having a very large batch of player factions this go around. I would like to know if there is a problem with my faction or if I need to change something with my story before actually getting updated into the game. Thanks again for bringing us Elite: Dangerous and giving us this opportunity to be in the game. I hope to hear from somebody soon.
 
No crying but I do realize you have to pay the troll toll to post on the internet. Good try sir and I tip my hat to you.

It can take a while. Brett gets hundreds of these requests. It took us about 6 months to go in, but that was prior to the new streamlined process they have. If he sent your approval, you're going in on one of the upcoming patch cycles.

Thanks for the info and I do see Im far from being the only one waiting for upload to the game. Justing trying to make some noise for me and every other PMF waiting in queue.

Will poke some folks to see what the hold up is. About to push another batch of submissions into the queue as well, along with emailing (albeit a 100+) rejected/declined minor faction applications.
 
They are usually pretty good at getting a PMF setup. Mine took a while (for my playergroup), but it's pretty damn cool once it's there. Fingers crossed for more functionality in the future.

Thanks for the update Brett, understand its a lot of work but it's always a shame when a patch goes by with no additional factions.
Is it possible to add them in without the patch? I'm guessing we wouldn't get the descriptions (which afaik need a client update) but i'm sure most could live with that turning up whenever if they were injected more frequently like the colonia ones and became playable faster.

I second this, could definitely live with system descriptions being added as and when, just really looking forward to having our own faction asap.

Though, as mentioned, appreciate the hard work going on behind the scenes to make this happen.
 
Hopes for the future of PMF:
(add some nice stuff without being guilds)

  1. Faction leader nameable / designable mission givers
  2. Ability to pledge to a minor faction and gain some minor benefits in stations controlled by that faction.
 
Tagging this thread for updates as I'm also waiting for a PMF to become active too. Its on the approved list that was released the other week.

Thank you for the prompt response, Brett. I know you guys are busy with all of the factions and those lists are only getting larger as we speak. I get why it could take time to do everything right and I can definitely respect that. o7 all
 
Brett - thanks for all the work and putting up with the constant badgering.

I just discovered there is player factions at the places we asked so suspect we are in the reject pile.

Is the re-submission process to fill the form out again or do we just reply to the reject message with fixes?


Gonna start looking for a suitable home now...

So did you find anything out about DRInc.? Im guessing you guys are just busy with "The Return' and I support that being out and as good as it can be but I just want to make sure my factions approval didn't turn into a denial. I guess I'm just thrown off by the 4/16/17 approval date but I am also seeing it has taken some of my allies 9 months from that date. Any info would be helpful to my 20 plus members. Thanks for your time.
