THIS IS AN OFFICIAL UMBRELLA™ CORPORATION NOTICE

As of 13/05/03, the Sigma-13 System of the Sirius Sector will come under official rule of the Umbrella™ Corporation. Permitted by the 832 GMG Security and Welfare Convention to secure and govern the system as we see fit, the following terms, conditions and services will be applied as of the above date.

Services
The following services will be available for any Freelancer who wishes to make use of them in any way, shape or form. There will though of course be a small fee for some services, dependant on the service and the level required.

1. Weaponry Retail
Any weapons that we have in stock will be available to you straight away at a competitive price. If any weaponry is not in stock an order can be made which should be completed within 24-48 hours. If you are not happy with your purchase you may request a 50% retail price refund on any weaponry with no questions asked.

2. Weaponry Hire
If you require a particular weapon for any use - whether it be pre-testing or bounty hunting - and you do not wish to keep the weapon permanently, then we can offer you any weapon for hire for 10% of its retail price per hour. A deposit of 50% of its retail value must be paid on the spot, which on return will be fully refunded. If the weapon is not returned, and no thorough explanation can be given as to why then your deposit will be sustained and your ship will be found and destroyed.

3. Equipment Retail
Any equipment that we have in stock will be available to you straight away at a competitive price. If any equipment is not in stock an order can be made which should be completed within 24-48 hours. If you are not happy with your purchase you may request a 50% retail price refund on any equipment with no questions asked. The following equipment is or should available: Shields, Thrusters, and Commodities at an extremely competitive price.

4. Weaponry Storage
We also offer a cheap, safe storage service for any weapons which are un-mounted and you wish to keep safe. We must limit each Freelancer to a maximum storage capacity of 5 weapons. All weapons of any class can be stored for 1,000 credits for any period of time, though you will be charged an extra 1,000 credits for each time that you remove and/or add that weapon from storage. In the unlikely event that your weapon is lost, we will give you a 50% retail price cash back, and a new replacement of that particular weapon.

5. Free Weaponry\Equipment Repair
Due to our understanding with the GMG, any weaponry or equipment that gets damaged on your travels will be repaired and returned to you on the spot, for free.

6. Bounty Hunting
If you have a target, whether it be a Freelancer or a Faction Member, our elite team of bounty hunters can eliminate this threat. Prices of the service will be agreed on order due to the differing targets and circumstances.

7. Information and Locations
If you wish to know information on certain aspects of the Sirius Sector and/or locations of systems, planets, stations or jump holes then we can offer you this at very competitive prices. Again, these prices will be agreed on order due to the difference in information and locations wanted.

8. Employment
If you wish to join the Umbrella™ Corporation and carry out objectives, jobs and services please see myself or a member of staff in the Sigma-13 System. Jobs can range from cargo transportation to bounty hunting. Good payment and heavy rewards will be offered for jobs well done. Jobs however may or will be temporary and should not be relied on for a permanent source of income.

Terms and Conditions
Due to our understanding with the GMG, the following terms and conditions will be applied to Freelancers travelling through or to the Sigma-13 system. These terms and conditions will be applied in order to pay for the repair and sustaining of GMG Gas Miners and other equipment, Trade Lanes, Stations and Gas Cloud Patrols.

1.a Taxes¹
Taxes will be applied to all² Freelancers travelling through or to the Sigma-13 System. These will vary in price dependant on Ship, Weaponry and/or Cargo, though assume the following figures as maximums.
- Entry and Travel Through the System - Approx. 5,000 Credits
- The Carrying of Cargo - Approx. 500 Credits per Cargo

1.b Military Action

No. No such weapon exists.

So...

No. Taxes are determined by the level of damage that a Freelancer can bring to the GMG. Thus, a larger ship is assumed to have irritated more factions and thus will cause attacks to take place within the system. This then will cause more damage and disturbance and a higher fee of repairs will be needed. However, if the Freelancer has sufficient means of eradicating any threats from other factions which they encounter in Sigma-13, then the action taken is assumed to be faster and more precise and will thus cause less damage, requiring lower taxes.

wow..
This chain turned ugly. Not very open minded player base.

ie.
Cheeze with hes ****tard post.
OMG I mean come on! Im not a roleplaying type myself but I get along and manage to play my part if it doesnt take too much effort but what I cant understand is these zero tolerance types who simply misunderstand the whole point in roleplaying.

If you dont want to play along then dont, but please dont bash others for doing it and dont get personal.

Only person here taking stuff too seriously is you :mad:

Edit
Oh and Strider..
There is a 100% RP server you should check out. Really much work done there in terms of mods and backgrounds etc. Server is pretty full too. Ill edit the url here when I find it. (cleared favorites list while ago)

Well you can do what you like. We wont lose anything from dieing, all it'll probably achieve is complete boredom on your part which is what we encountered when we'd been everywhere, got and done everything. Weve already sold 6 weapons today so use us you like :)

Just trying to spruce the game up but hey you obviously like to be bored :)

Ignore Cheez... he spent over £3000 on a Mac, so clearly his opinion does not count. :D

That said, the resistance is well in hand....
10acious, Mingtea and myself have formed the Black Omega Squadron. Our remit: To fly where the hell we like and terrorise members of those pesky GMG corporate whores, including the pitiful little band calling themselves the Umbrella Corporation.

Should you be interested in joining the squad and arranging a sortie into ememy territory, send us a message either here or on IRC.

13th May 2003, 22:38
in full agreement with u there, guys - the game does need something to keep everyone interested after u've been everywhere and done everything. in fact, i might start my own edgeworld preservation society! damn, i wish we could build bases...

RK[CLL]
13th May 2003, 23:05
Squire, I would be happy to join u in your Umbrella Hunt!! all I need to do now is transfer my char from one machine to the other, and for someone to gimme a Titan with **** hot weapons!!

Sorry, there's nothing wrong with this thread except the flaming (really guys, you should know better tut tut :) )

He's taking the game no seriously than a clan of a FPS or equivalent.

Strider, Kosmo: Ignore them, they like to hang around and post rubbish occasionally ;)

That said, i probably would make sure you're protected as I hear Squire and his resistance have a bit of a reputation for sailing the solar seas, praying on the unsuspecting. bloody pirates! :D

This is real lame, i tend to pass through the sigma-13 system on a regular basis transporting cargo and travelling and stuff, so i say that this is stupid, i would rather die than pay these silly girls any money.

After all its a game i can respawn and attack again, and respawn and attack again and respawn and attack again, with no loss at all, BRING IT ON :D

Gunsmith
15th May 2003, 11:00
everytime u die u lose a level

Neon
15th May 2003, 11:04
Yeah but its a game, i have a titan and all that and your level is tied to your cash, so do a few mission from crete and you are back to where you started, so maybe respawn, attack, goto crete, do a job, goto sigma-13, die, respawn, do a job .... :rolleyes:

RK[CLL]

Very interesting post strider, if i hadn't met you i'd have thought it a good idea but:

you mumbled...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
must be paid for. Amounts will vary dependant on the amount of damage or disruption caused but should not exceed 50,000 credits in the worst of circumstances.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

First thing, I didn't get a warning when i entered the system, no message came up stating anything, it was empty. i took 4 weapons and logged. Later when i came back you where there and demanded 200k, for everyone to play along they must know the rules in advance and you should be sticking to your own rules and not making them up as you go along.

Secondly, sitting outside a dock with your mates and killing someone while they are departing is a pk tactic for losers, they have no chance whatsoever of fighting back. You didn't even wait to see if i was going to hand over the 200k again breaking your own rules, i could've been trying to come out and pay you.

Saying that I do like the idea, it adds a little spice to the game if you play it right, doing what you did the other day to me was not really in character as you describe your new association:)

Best you hold onto them umbrellas as a storm is coming your way:) I hear you felt a few rain drops today:D

Zakalwe
16th May 2003, 10:17
Providing my character hasn't lapsed I'm willing to set aside my little dispute with mr Squiremuldoon (1-0 baby!) and do a little "corporate raiding"

Thankfully I've already made the GMG my b!tch on many occaisions so it shouldn't affect my rep at all.

You will grow to fear my paralyser missiles (I don't have a launcher though so I've trained a monkey in a spacesuit to throw them from the airlock).

Might be online on Sunday - or late tonight...

It's a nice idea, but really who's gonna pay even if they do believe they'll get atomized? Ah well, nice to see someone being 'the bad guy', whats the point in getting a spanky death machine to fly around in if you just want to get on with everyone? I reckon people should start being c*nts, much more fun. Of course having said that, the mushroom corp isn't getting any of my cash, if I want whatever guns you have in your hold I'll take them thanks, and I pay enough tax without doing it in a game as well.

You dont need to BRIBE. A formation of pilots flying very heavy's with class 10 equipment will just fly where the hell they want.

This might be a reason to start playing this game again.. gang warfare, Muldoon and his Black Omega Squadron fighting back for MPUK and in the other hand Umbrella Corporation fighting well.. for taxes?

oh HI Muldoon, mind if i tag along in some UC bashing?
