Help Defining a Corporation

(1/4) > >>

Milo Caman:
So here's the deal.
I created Anshar Incorporated with the intent of creating a Low-security enforced No fire zone, where Industrialists and marketeers could come and ply their wares, and pirates and various criminal scum could come and buy them.
Once telling people about this, I've been told it's a bit like a Micro-Providence thing. It isn't, but that's the best analogy I have for it right now.
Anyway, now to the point: My Original Idea was to have the corporation as affiliates of Serpentis, whilst running ANN on the side, however, with a bit more thinking, it occurred to me that this really isn't the kind of thing the Serpentis Corporation do.

My Other (as I see it) options for this venture are Syndicate and Angel Cartel, the first I lack IC reason for, the second I want to move on from.
So anyway, can anyone help me out with this? I'm really conflicted as to which path I should take. I'd usually discuss something like this with my corp-mates, but I don't have any at the moment, and I don't feel I can pull together a recruitment thread without some idea of the direction I want to take.

Corporation description as it stands can be found below.


--- Quote ---Anshar Incorporated are owners of the media group, Arcadia News Network. They provide security and market services in regards to ANN, as well as pursuing independent ventures.
The corporation is rumoured to have connections to Serpentis and their affiliates.

Any Ideas? I've been racking my brains for some time, and can't seem to come to a conclusion.

Misan:
If there first part about using the corp as a low-sec enforcer of sorts is important to you, it would seem like being linked to either the Angel or Serpentis groups wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. Syndicate ties make a bit more sense for that sort of venture, as they administer independent stations and would have a reason for vested interests in developing markets and in and around their space.

If you don't have any IC ties to the Syndicate you could consider yourself Syndicate influenced? Taking the Intaki Syndicate's methods and applying them to low-security systems, as best as they can be replicated in Empire sovereign space anyway.

There may be a few other group that would make some sense to tie to, either peripherally or in a more integral way. The Mordu Legion might be one of those, as they are more of a merc group and private army than pirates. With their ties to the Intaki and history with the Caldari it could be interesting to at least have token involvement with them anyway.

That's what I have for that part of your corp anyway. For reporting I see being unnaffiliated or keeping your ties either totally out in the open or kept secret as important. If you're looking to have the news found out by snooping around and getting information from hidden sources, I guess I could see a reason to like having ties with the Serp/Angel groups, but not sure if that's what you are going for.

Casiella:
As I understand it, the Syndicate basically operates as a chain of stations whose owners choose to cooperate -- but each station owner is pretty much completely sovereign on her station. So you might find a system with just one station, owned by some commercial entity (NGO) and create an IC connection with the megacorp that owns it.

You know, not everything has to tie back to an NPC faction. It could be, you know, just business. For your own purposes.

Misan:
Heh, that thought had occurred to me as well Casi. Totally possible to do this as your own venture with no direct ties to NPC factions. It may be more work to begin with, but it does have it's own payoffs for doing so.

Well, I suppose the eventual idea would be to annex the area in question for the faction in some way, similar to what the cartel did here.
