Mobius Faction?

[Boozeman]

Just readed the last Elite Newsletter #84. We can "register" a new minor faction on the place we want (High tech, coriolis or similar big station)

About the name, my proposal is: The Bright Wheel



Seriously we can put some votes on for this and Mobius is our spokesman to FD

Where?
What kind of covernment?

I'm a newbie here but would like to suggest that no matter where you decide to locate, should it have the highest tech type planet possible to allow everyone to buy or upgrade their ship with whatever equipment they want?

Keep all our ships parked and upgrade at our homebase

As far as I am aware, and excluding Rafferty's Mobius only 3 Mobius named stations are starports, all the rest are platforms.

Hernkopa has 2 high tech systems within 50ly and another 80ly away with a good stock of ships and parts.

Hernkopa is also one of the few current Mobius systems that is independent...

As far as I know it's the only independent Mobius starport, the others are platforms.

Hernkopa works for me

Rafferty's Ruffians

[Mobius]

its definitely going to be a Mobius station, that would give our group a moral boost, knowing that our factions home station is named already will be a good start for the group. I would love it to be Rafferty's Mobius in Azrael but its currently an empire station, but im all for turning it independent, it already orbits Rafferty's Paradise an earth type planet. I think in the long run the big powerplay factions will not be an issue and with everyone wanting to be part of their own factions Azrael is far enough away from other core factions. many systems around azrael up until recently were either anarchy or independent. and Rafferty's Mobius was doing very well with its own faction. either way what station we go for resides in empire space as with any player factions station will sit in a faction space,

Good for me... I'm empire anyway... hehe

I would think that any station/home world we are based in should be independent regardless of location. If possible, no current faction in the station should have ties to any of the three powers.

Alignment would definitely be to the Pilots Federation.
It should be as close to the starter systems as possible so that new pilots can find us.
As far as the name, Order of Mobius is my preferred. Union has negative connotations in my mind. Unions are things that you can be forced to join. An Order is joined by choice.

It's full of cheese, but the mottos of the Musketeers is apt. All for one, and one for all. It is, by happy circumstance, the motto of Switzerland. In Latin, Unus pro Omnibus, omnes pro uno. German, Eine für alle, alle für einen, French, Us pour tous, Tous pour un, Italian, Uno per Tutti, Tutti per uno.

Sorry about the layout, couldn't get it to format correctly

(Edit: Updated with correct station type for Mobius Station)

Outposts cannot be used by larger ships most, if not all have either limited offerings, or none and again I would suggest a location that has the ability to upgrade our ships and has the complete, or best selection of ships to buy.

Would the organizers allow the group to rename any planet they take over?

Hi,

Azrael has better trading ground. There's high tech's near. We can also ask FD if they might change the Rafferty's Mobius simply to Mobius
