Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) While setting the lore goals for this month and next, I was extremely distressed to learn that we still possess eleven other 'mega-corps'. I have no interest in hammering out lore for all these corporations running around, and feel that having this number competing removes from the idea that Nanotrasen is the dominant economic power, and detracts from the central idea that NT is the anchor of the lore. It's also waaaay too much clutter and unnecessary information. However, I am a merciful and just loremaster, and have conceded that instead of obliterating these factions from the face of existence, we will instead pitch it in a hopefully interesting-enough way. The poll above is going to have the top 2 winners continue to 'exist', and be fleshed out as fully functioning companies that are competing with NT. The rest are going to disappear in an IC way, through Nanotrasen buying out all of them, and the rest going bankrupt, or whatever else. They will be moved to a 'former factions' page, since there has been so much flak against complete removal. So, what two corporations shall we see survive this new age of Nanotrasen supremacy? THE CHOICE IS MINE YOURS edit: also einstein engines is staying because there's only 10 options and we have 11 factions here so congrats to EE, round of applause everyone. The poll will officially end this wednesday. Edited May 25, 2015 by Marlon Phoenix Link to comment
Guest Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Idris Incorporated, an interstellar mega-corp bank/genebank was not mentioned, it is very anti-NT and a Syndicate benefactor, I assume it is considered safe, like EE is? Link to comment
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Player-made corporations are not the target of this campaign. This is taking off the factions list from the character creation screen itself, and is going to decide which of the two will remain as the mega-corporations that compete with Nanotrasen. This is going to let us divide the galactic economy by 4, instead of by 14. Again. Player created companies and organizations are NOT going to be affected by this. Link to comment
Erik Tiber Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 At first I was upset. But then I realized. I don't actually like most of these names. And you still accept new organizations I assume. AHA! YES! TIME TO MAKE A NIGERIAN AND CONGOLESE MEGACORP! Link to comment

Dea Tacita Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Just to say, the "Sol Central" thing is a remnant from Bay-12, it's not a corporation. It's their name for the central government. Link to comment
