    A long time ago, before starmade was ever remotely popular, there were The Originals. Legend has it that these Originals were the most powerful players in the enitre galaxy.
    These Originals made many factions, ranging from the Vaygr Empire to the Starmadian Republic. Most of them have died, their legacies burned forever into the memories of the forums. Even some of these Originals have moved on, becoming legends elsewhere...
    But, there are still many left, And some of these Originals are bored with the current powers, such as the Lazarus Imperium.
    This is their attempt at a new order...

    This is the Empire of the Ancients. Enter at your own risk.

    Ancients will be brought into the fold as soon as they pass the test. Those who are not quite that ancient will also be allowed, so that they may engrave their own stories into the burning slate that is the forums and the memories of all who walk here.

    Here we break the hierarchy into three sections

    Economical specialists
    Head economist: EpicFailLord123
    Mining specialists
    Trading specialists
    Military specialists
    Commander-in-chief: Xepoof, AKA matheus.de.alacantra
    Commanders
    Ace pilots
    Pilots
    Construction specialists
    Head Engineer:TBD
    Builders

    Beyond that, we have a few rules we must follow. These rules are separated by punshment.

    Unforgivable sins
    1. Being a spy.
    Upon being discovered, you will be kicked, and a message will be sent to every faction member not to allow you near them
    2. Disrespecting an officer.
    If you refuse to follow the command of the leaders, who know better than you 90% of the time and want you to succeed where they can't, you will be given one other chance, the banned.
    3. Being unable to complete tasks.
    This one is rather lenient, but if you cannot complete a task because of your own idleness ETC, you will be punished.

    Forgiveable sins (sort of)
    There doesn't seem to be anything here.

    Ship classification system.
    Expect this to develop as we construct our fleet. Keep in mind that it is based off of role AND size.

    Our goal is to become the most powerful faction ever, to bring the rightful rulers of starmade back to the main. Whether through combat or trade, we will survive!

    Our main server currently is Elwyn Eternity.

    I don't mean to pour cold water on the idea of a veteran only faction (though I can see the idea annoying people), but this has led me to question how old starmade is, as I really don't know. However you are suggesting that you've been around allmost as long as the game has. I checked the old site, and your account there is 11 months old. That is not a long time, mines older and I wouldn't say I qualify for a faction like this.
    This wasnt meant as a personal attack, im really just questioning the concept you've based this faction on.

    That's my new account. Like 6 months before I used an account just called Epicfaillord to uplink, but I switched my email account, and had to make a new one to get notifications. I asked one of the admins back then, prolly Sephardi, to delete my old account so I could make a new one by the same name, but I goofed up in the registering process and just made efl123 my new one. Around that time I got into the forums.

    Also, this was never a "veterans only " faction. It was a faction founded by veterans, for veterans, but newer players are accepted.

    Ok, fair enough. I still wouldn't say thats a long time, but without a time frame for how old starmade is i really don't know.

    Well that seems ridiculous to me. If you're going to be called empire of the ancients and have some backstory based on that, but then accept people who really only just found the game it seems like you don't stick to your own core principle. Though if the empire itself belongs to "the ancients" and the lesser beings run around doing the menial tasks i guess it makes sense.

    This sounds fun. Altough most "ancients" have their own factions by now. So unless you accept cross-faction joining you're not going to get very far :P

    Surprisingly enough, there are quite a few vets with no FAC, namely trollerbobman, as well as a few others.

    But you get the idea. Also, I edited the main postto clear up any confusion.

    I don't know if I qualify as an "ancient" lol
    (Not that I am trying to join, just want to put this out there)
    I did know about Starmade before the Yogscast made their videos, though I never bothered to actually check it out until they did.
    Also btw:

    @Trollerbobman is in a faction, the Tinion Armada, you silly-head.

    I actually sent Yogscast an email. Their automated email returner thing sent gibberish about applying for a job :confused:

    Send more. Everyone should send one to them, simply to increase the chances that they notice one and start Yogswarm 2: Electric Boogaloo.

    Changes that I can think of off the top of my head:
    New weapons
    Better shield balance
    Textures
    The OMG SO PRETTY SKYBOX
    Pentas\tetras
    New crafting system
    Even the most braindead troll would notice at least one of these.

    Still waiting for the new stations and stuff is a pretty good point. They are probably the only thing that the Yogscast crew would recognize at this point. :p
