My advice, late night, and half brain-dead:
- Find a core of players interested and actually willing to commit to your project.
- Develop a plan for in-game activities that could work without the RP premise you're aiming at.
- Furnish it with your desired RP angle.
- Launch it.

Thanks

It's good to know the way I've been going about it is backed up by somebody else.

Tibus Heth thinks it's a good idea, lol. The Sebiestor tribe, not so much.

http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/tibus-heth-offer-of-caldari-aid-to-sebiestor-tribe-rejected-1/

Well, what I got out of that was that the Sebeistor gave it a pretty serious amount of thought. If they spent most of the day thinking about it, they hardly rejected it out of hand.

Sounds to me like they genuinely considered the offer, but decided they couldn't trust Heth because he nuts.

From what I can see, this article provides a rationale for Caldari willing to pursue a closer relationship with the Minmatar; weaken the Gallente Federation on the cluster-wide stage.

[Desiderya]

These rationales have always been there.
What we shouldn't forget is that this thread is about the creation of a player/capsuleer alliance, and not an 'official' alliance between the Republic and the State.

Heth cannot clone.
Midular cannot clone.

They're trying to use neural reconstruction on Midular to save her so she can be cloned. Heth may have wanted to send his doctors and medical staff (read: spies) over there to see what they could glean from the Republic and Federation medical tech. Perhaps it was an attempt for him to save himself, literally.

"you're working with the people who make TCMCs!"

"Yes: I figure if we foster good relations with the Caldari we can convince them to stop selling to the Amarr, thereby weakening the slaver's hold on our brothers and sisters!"
"Yes: I'm also working with the people who made Insorum and gave it to the Elders for free. They're not all bad!"
"Yes: I'm hoping to get the Gallente on board as well and then the three of us can gang up on those Amarr bastards"
"Yes: So what? The money's good."

Controversy is fertile ground in which good characters (And parasitic ones) grow.

I could not agree more on all of this as a means to explain away Minmatar participation. I also feel characters can change and grow into different people over the course of time as long as it is not contrived and the reasons suit them. The top two here are likely stances my character would take. All though... no one knows about Ishukone giving Insorum to Shakor as it was only in the novel, not announced in news... but yes Insorum came from the Caldari even if they tried to stop it getting out.

Any Minmatar would have to prepare for some flack in this, though. That much is certain. Not a bad thing..

That's quite the conspiracy but that would have been awesome...

Depends on how long a day is on the planet they decided it on, doesn't it?

Please, please, please let it be this.

The fun part about motivations is that they're almost never singular.

[Syagrius]

I think its an absolutely excellent idea.  While I can’t obviously support the project ICly with James, whatever help I could provide OOCly is yours for the asking.

[Vad Lander]

I'm all for this, even more so now with recent events. Not hard for my guy to get on board with this ICly.

[Rok-Yuni]

While i'd love to join this initiative with my matari character, my worry is with the thought of min-calda-tari (sry, bastardised star wars reference) ships...

what niche would they fill?

faster caldari ships?
more heavily tanked minmatar ships?

and what pirate faction would they represent?

the only one that comes to mind at the moment is EoM... and i doubt they'd be friendly enough to release their ships to the general populace.

from a real-world technology perspective the hybrid min-cal ships would make sense, but from a game balance perspective i'm not so sure, it seems that they would simply remove each other's biggest flaw.

still... other than the ship issue, Toluijin is certainly interested. Once i get back into eve on the 18th that is.
