Title: Starting a faction: Doesn't work.
Post by: Longinus on August 23, 2010, 11:46:58 am
I've been trying for over an hour with my 2 friends to start a base, one attempt almost got us all killed.

We have the cash, we have the members, we just need the base. What does the trapper say when I type in a name
(from this list: http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=1623.0 (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=1623.0)) the following:

"Sorry, I've never heard of you guys"

If setting up a faction doesn't work right now, why not give a big warning that it doesn't work?
Because honestly, it's getting on my nerves.

So, in short: I want a fix or I want a heads up.

All available faction names have been used.  Update will bring more.

In other words, our 70.000 caps can just be flushed down the proverbial crapper?

Unfortunately... This is essentially the case. Assuming the update brings with it a wipe, which presumably it will as I gather all updates in the past have set the precednet of a wipe accompanying them.

Have you considered joining a currently existing faction instead? I mean all is not lost, it's just that venue of play is impossible currently.

Buy mercs, that is always a good alternative.
