Is it possible to restrict affiliation by tier or faction alignment/major status?

Is it possible to restrict affiliation by tier or faction alignment/major status?

Can you elaborate on what you mean by tier?

As for faction alignment, sure. Just put the faction(s) you want it to be affiliated with as the affiliation of the submission.

Instead of affiliation with the open market (e.g. selling to anyone), specifying Tier 3+ or Major Factions or something like that to restrict sales only to those entities big enough.

Instead of affiliation with the open market (e.g. selling to anyone), specifying Tier 3+ or Major Factions or something like that to restrict sales only to those entities big enough.

To make it easy on yourself, just say Closed Market and then offer to to the people you want able to use it.

But I don't think anyone would request you change the affiliation if you specify that it's only for Major Factions or Companies of Tier X and higher.

 

[Marque]

Alright, thanks. Just didn't want to infringe on a rule or etiquette guideline.

What would you look for in a dev thread, to make a limited edition non standard lightsaber?

Also how do you sell stuff, to a faction you own?

By limited edition do you mean limited production?
Here are our rules for the technology section of the factory, as found in our template thread for templates to be utilized in the Technology section:

General Rules for Technology

Here are the general rules and guidelines for Technology. Please also review the Factory Standardized Rules prior to making a submission.

1. Submissions which make use of base material submissions that utilize restricted materials will always require substantial development involving that restricted material. (i.e; Phrik Armorweave submissions will require development for utilization in future armor submissions)

2. Fully constructed lightsabers are restricted to a maximum of semi-unique production.

3. All companies utilized as manufacturers must be hyperlinked to their submission or canonical article.

4. The template's fields are not to be changed/removed/altered, additional information may be added but base fields may not be changed or removed.

5. Development threads must be ten posts or greater to be accepted in factory submissions.

6. Submissions & development threads should adhere to the established standards of development.

7. Work-in-Progress submissions are not permitted in the factory.

8. For Restricted items, standard development may grant between Unique and Limited production depending on the submission, with a maximum of Minor production following additional development.

9. All development threads that are hyperlinked in submissions must be cited as the full thread title, not an abbreviation.

Also how do you sell stuff, to a faction you own?

By this do you mean contracts? Simple have a thread where faction A buys the goods from company B. If there's someone else in your faction, have them be the other person in the thread, or simply use an NPC.

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

Hw much dev would I need to replace the ultrachrome body with a Phrik body on the libita. also would I be able to reuse the ultrachrome for a limited production fighter ships?

 

[Dunames Lopez]

Can I sign a contract with the same major faction for different tier-ups? (e.g. signing a contract for product/service A to a major faction X for tier-4 and signing another contract to the same major faction to sell product/service B for tier-5)

I'm not sure I can really put an exact number without seeing the submission first. And if you do not intend to salvage your ship, then no, you cannot reuse the ultrachrome.

If you mean to say, reuse a faction in separate contracts, yes you can. Imagine Walmart. They have several contracts with their service companies, some doing different things all together. You might see a contract with say... Marvel, for their toys and like. But then they choose to redo their contracts, to include movies.

Or they might do one with a group that makes shoes. Later the company starts making corsets as well, so they make a new contract to include those..

Honestly, Walmart would likely have a better contract setup being professionals, but the point is there.

Plus, I have done the same

Sorry to take the limelight from Kuhn there.

 

[Horus]

How many operations and locations are allowed for Tier III company? I can't seem to find where it says how many, and a lot of the companies in Tier III differ, such as one with 7 locations but two operations

 

[Cira]

Can I sign a contract with the same major faction for different tier-ups? (e.g. signing a contract for product/service A to a major faction X for tier-4 and signing another contract to the same major faction to sell product/service B for tier-5)

Yes but they have to be different contracts.

[member="Damien Daemon"]. Please don't answer questions meant for the factory staff

[member="Horus"] each location and operation is a dev thread as stated in the company tier up information in the company codex.

"
Every additional new Location & Operation, or Headquarters change requested through the Company Modification Thread will require their own development thread. "

[member="Cira"]
So a Tier III would need to perform two dev threads to gain two more operations?

 

[Cira]

[member="Horus"]

Yup. Cool thing is you can count it as two misc threads for tier up!

 

[Jessica Med-Beq]

What to do if I want to merge a company with a non-canon one belonging to an inactive writer?

 

[Cira]

[member="Charzon Loulan"]

Leave it alone. That's their original company.

Only way that can happen is if you have the permission of the creator of that company.

Otherwise, non canon companies are fully protected even if that are inactive. That's their work.

 

[Jessica Med-Beq]

Suppose that one wants to convert a non-combat ship to a combat ship. Do any unused allowance from the original model (afforded by way of them having extra dev posts) carry over to the new one?

Oh I know I would still need some dev posts for the conversion proper though.

It's variable to what you had originally and what you might be asking for.

 

[Cathul Thuku]

Suppose that I have an unused supply of a restricted material consisting of X posts. If I start another thread with another interested party of Y posts, under the same stipulation I obtained the supply of restricted material, in which said material would change hands, do the other party get a supply of X+Y posts or only Y?
