Ok some of you wanted to go major. Admittedly it's far down the road but there is a way to do it without losing our factions identity.

Make a case here folks.

Will, here's my idea in order:
1. Make allies ( with other factions, major or minor
2. Strike bargains with companies/own comapnies ( You have my companies support )
3. Capture stations and planets ( The station part we could do, the planet's I do have a idea )

That's all I have

Ok well my current Idea's involve making a loose government of Governors for each planet, and having them report to a president of something. Also The Expeditionary Fleet would become the striking arm of the military, roving and doing what it normally does.

The Free Colonial Defense Fleet would be the home team, keeping it all together. We wouldn’t have massive armies but a rich PC stack of awesome chars.

Also we could change the faction name to the Free Colonies

All In all we would not be a republic but a loose confederation of planet city states if you will. Much like greece!

Any other ideas?

Any thoughts, additions edits? Keep in mind time-frame is two months from now roughly.

Well, id say we would need some prep.

For example, we need to get to recruiting, and kick it into high gear. people = power. Then (as most of you said) we would need to get allies in some of the majors.

If and when we do become major, we would need to avoid war as much as possible, set up a 100% defensive fleet with little to no offensive. an offensive fleet would make us a threat, and a target. Also, we aren't trained soldiers, we are explorers, so I dont really want a community of people who enjoy space and spice, to become a group of savages neatly planning which planet to pillage next. We would essentially lose our initial goal.

In essence, I say we should keep things relatively neutral.

Since I can make ships with my company now, I can provide us with ships. Also I could make a planet for us to capture where it is not ruled by anyone. I agree with both of your ideas but we could combine them somehow just I don't know how yet.

Agreed I don’t want to lose our factions core identity. Our little niche is what keeps us alive I think. I've probably written in over a hundred invasions and dominions and a lot of the time they devolve into chaos and needless strife.

For dominions we could do nuetral/lightly aggressive means. The OP used to do diplomacy a lot as a way to gather planets. The Ravens use unorthodox means as well. Studying those should give us a nice perspective to work with.

In addition we'd need to convene a council and tweak or make a new charter.
