I agree, but I think the consensus of the thread is to wait and see how it all works out in alpha and beta testing. This close to the test release it would be counter-productive to start tinkering with these things anyway. The mechanics of the game itself - flight dynamics, combat, HUD, menu, trading system & economics, the P-P instancing system, etc - will all be nailed down first.

The prevailing feeling is that the grouping/alliance system that is currently implemented will also emulate the benefits of dedicated guild support. However in the event that this is not the case I'm sure the testing community will request something different or additional.

Guest access to a Teamspeak 3 server has also been arranged for alpha by one of the testers. It will be interesting to see if this proves popular, and there is nothing to prevent any group or guild setting up their own external chat system.

For sure, I have no doubt there are also many clans/community's like mine who already have their own facility's (forum/voice comms) and are itching to get into Alpha.

Clan/Group forming

Hello.,

Anybody knows if you can start a kind of clan/group in game.

Everybody knows the strenght in numbers :rolleyes:

Moderation Edit:
Due to the number of threads on this subject I have merged several threads on the subject. This thread now contains a poll which was started by jabokai in another thread. So for clarity, I include jabokai's first post in that other thread here to explain the poll.

Okay, we've had a large amount of discussion about guilds lately so I figured it was about time to put some numbers to the opinions. I will try and keep the poll question and answers neutral because I feel there's nothing worse than when someone posts a poll with skewed/leading Q&As... it has no real relevance then.

So, here we go - would you like mechanisms provided within ED to support guilds/clans/organisations? By "support" I mean the simple provision of the tools needed to create/disband a guild, ranks and permissions for members (promote/demote, invite/no invite permissions for example), guild chat, who's online.

I gave extra answers for the Yes votes to determine the degree of support people favour, but obviously you can add up all the Yes votes to give a direct comparison against the No votes.

I would have thought by now to see some future pilots start up chatter about what sort of alliance they would like to create or join.

I'm all for a big Pirate Alliance here. Let's create a Tortuga system somewhere and trade pleasure slaves, drugs, alcohols and all the sweet things making life so enjoyable :D

That means you had a good time. (Melkweg, or Milkyway) You aren't supposed to remember. That is why people come back there all the time. :D

Anyway, I would like a Society of Free Bountyhunters, to counter that Pirate League mentioned before. I am sure they will act like wolf pacs, we BH's need to be ready for that.

But there is still time to make formal anouncements.

I will also be a miner. So I would like to see some mining guild arise.

I'd be up for joining a bounty hunter/private police collective with one of my commanders.

Once the masses start coming into the game, someone's going to have to keep order in the space lanes.

I'm surprised a few more alliance pages hasnt appeared. If there is a miners guild, I would join & go explore the fringe with my trusty rock hammer. I'd probably keep my eyes on the bounty hunters pages as well if I needed something a little faster pace, but how would you go about vetting for spys in your midst. Would be easy for pirates to sneak a look for the fattest ore freighters, bloody pirates.

Bounty hunting and mining go well together I'd think. My friend and I are sort of planning to do these things together.

There could be a combined clan. Or a good alliance between clans or guilds. I could perform BH duties for miners and sometimes I'd be a miner myself.

But it will all depend largely on how the game feels and works. Especially with the instances and stuff.
