    So, I've been looking around and reading up as best I can. I have to say that the story itself is great, but leaves me with more questions than answers.



    Do I NEED to finish the SP? Is that integrated into the MP side for accounts or something?



    Are the 'Quest/Missions' (ie. Hypergate kills you in 20K within Omega 3 unless you finish GMG Quest)


    Are these in MP or SP?


    Where do I find them to do them?



    If you want to play a Coalition Civilian character
    How do I get to the Coalition territory?


    Do I have to be a member of a Faction?



    Exploration and Adventuring.


    I'm bound to enter parts unknown currently that will have faction 'ownership' I have read thru the system rules, but don't have them memorized. Much less know them well enough at this point to even really remember who is who much less if I've entered their ZoI


    If I pass thru and nobody is on the server from that group and then go back thru later and someone is on, hails me from systems away about local taxes,


    Are said taxes per passing, day?


    If they don't come to me in space to get said taxes, do I bother to pay? If so, how?


    If I don't pay taxes, nor plan to dock and explain this, should I expect different responses from each group? Or is there a fairly standard 'Toll Charge' to be expected?



    Money and Transfers


    I'm not rich, yet, but I have saved a few bucks and want to make a fighter. I can rarely find anyone when I am on (-7 GMT; Late Nights) that is nearby, much less able to help out the few times I've actually asked.



    Players Online -VS- On the Forum


    This forum isn't flaming busy, sure, but it gets used regularly.


    How many people that fly actually come here? (do we know?)



    I understad that OP-R8R keeps the story going along its line, not necessarily along the players' RP. I( like that, it makes it feel more realistic to me. I know a couple people in politics, doesn't mean my opinion will change life for all. We are just people in the world.)


    How do the player factions play into the overall story? If at all?

    I will answer these questions in order. If I don't know the answer, I'll just write I don't know. I am going to try not to spoil anything, by the way, so I shan't use anything too specific.




    Do I NEED to finish the SP? Is that integrated into the MP side for accounts or something? No, but it is recommended so that you know what's going on.




    Are the 'Quest/Missions' (ie. Hypergate kills you in 20K within Omega 3 unless you finish GMG Quest)


    Are these in MP or SP? Both. You can do the missions in either, but in MP, you can ask for help.


    Where do I find them to do them? Check news in bars.




    If you want to play a Coalition Civilian character
    How do I get to the Coalition territory? Follow CF storyline. However, the way MP RP works, you don't get the option to play as part of an NPC faction.


    Do I have to be a member of a Faction? Nope.




    Exploration and Adventuring.

    If I pass thru and nobody is on the server from that group and then go back thru later and someone is on, hails me from systems away about local taxes,


    Are said taxes per passing, day? Two hours limitation on taxes.


    If they don't come to me in space to get said taxes, do I bother to pay? If so, how? Your discretion, just keep it in RP. You can refuse to pay taxes to someone if you choose, but this is not without its own repercussions. Clans are not gods.


    If I don't pay taxes, nor plan to dock and explain this, should I expect different responses from each group? Or is there a fairly standard 'Toll Charge' to be expected? See previous answer.

I can rarely find anyone when I am on (-7 GMT; Late Nights) that is nearby, much less able to help out the few times I've actually asked. I am actually an hour ahead of you along with half my clan. Hail anyone with a clan tag and they'll be more than happy to help usually.

    How do the player factions play into the overall story? If at all? Clans and factions create their own RPs to interact with the story and can become a part of it in MP, but they do not affect the written story.
