Factory Q&A

[Julius Sedaire]

So I made a unique company (Coronet Hypernautics) before I laid claim to CEC... I'd rather run the Hypernautics products under CEC, would I need to absorb CH as a subsidiary, or is there another option?

You can do that, yes. Or merge the two companies and I can just add the operation from the unique one to CEC

 

[Natalie LaForte]

Would I require a development thread to transfer the ownership of a company between two characters I both write or may I just immediately make the request?

 

[Ellie Mors]

[member="Natalie LaForte"]
In the past we would require one, but given that it sounds ridiculous to make someone write a thread by themselves to transfer a company they already have from a character they write, just post the request.

 

[John Locke]

This is something I probably should know but if I sub a semi-unique turbolaser, does that mean that only 10 of them are in existence? Or does it mean I can only use them on 10 ships? (I.e. can I sub a semi-unique weapons system and put multiple of it on one ship and then multiple on another ship to a total of 10 ships) I think I know the answer but wanted to check.

 

[Via Dolorosa]

Any canon approved submissions (i.e. holocrons and such) that once belonged to a character now merged into another account, are the items grandfathered into the merged account or does a thread required to retrieve them?

Generally it means there's a dozen of them.

If the item in question is on the canon item list it belongs to the writer account that submitted it to that last.

 

[Varian Alaric]

This may be a pretty basic question, but can a Dominion count as a Dev thread for a factory item?

 

[Zef Halo]

We no longer require dev threads. Can you specify your question more?

Well from a Dom, my character gets something for somebody. And I was going to use the Dom as a Dev thread for it so I could do more stuff with the factory submission.

 

[Zef Halo]

[member="Primat Ren"]

Dev threads are a thing of the past. What's the item/submission?

 

[Varian Alaric]

[member="Zef Halo"]
It was going to be an amulet discovered in a tomb with two to three enchantments on it to grant the wearer an advantage. One being the ability to not allow anyone to force themselves into the wearers mind, rendering a good majority of mind-reading abilities useless.

 

[Zef Halo]

[member="Primat Ren"]

Sweet. Just to make sure you understand - development threads no longer exist in the Factory. A submission is judged solely on its balance, no amount of work (dev threading) will account to anything when it is being judged. Good luck.

Is their a limit on how many factory posts you can have at a time? And if so, is it limited per character? ((As in; I submit two factory submissions on this character, and then on my Ren, I also submit two factory submissions.))

The limit is three submissions in the factory per writer. That means across all characters, in total, you may have no more than three submissions posted at any given time that are not yet approved.
