[Tefka]

1. Companies have been compiled in the Company Listing forum.
2. Companies may now be submitted and edited by members without approval.
3. Company Tiers no longer exist.
4. Workshops no longer exist.
5. Staff-approved Company modifications are no longer required.
6. The Company Rules page has been deleted from the Factory Rules.
7. All rules regarding Canon Companies have been removed.


The Company section of the Factory has re-opened.

What would that imply for ship construction?

[member="Ugohr Poof"] - I'd assume by the freeform stance that the Factory's taken, that you can build and create whatever you want.

The Factory standardized Rules have a new table for ships.

 

[LT-137]

[member="Itash Mecetti"] - Was just about to make an edit to my post regarding that! Thanks for the catch.

2. Companies may now be submitted and edited by members without approval.

Can old company subs be unlocked if the owner wants to make changes (most of the old company subs are still locked)? Or should we repost old companies, as there is no approval process or tier grading anymore, so that we can edit as needed? E.g. to modify locations, operations, history and so on.

My suggestion would be to resubmit content that's important to you and submit a request for the original to be archived (at the leisure of staff). That way you aren't tapping your feet waiting on staff to sort through a few thousand pages of submissions that people suddenly want unlocked.

Yes, I'll be unlocking all Companies. Ignore any other unofficial advice a la [member="Captain Larraq"]

Isn't that just status quo at this point?

All,

I've unlocked all company subs.

Little late to the party, I have a question, please.

7. All rules regarding Canon Companies have been removed.

Does this mean I no longer have ownership over Kuat Drive Yards?

Nobody lost anything, you canon drum beaters just don’t have any rules backing up your claims anymore.

Good luck out there in the wilds of Chaos.

Well, my main question is, I assume I have ownership over my own creations... but Do I have rights to the name still? Or can anyone produce anything and use "Kuat Drive Yards" as a dummy manufacturer? I don't really know what is to be expected from being a 'canon drum beater,' although maybe it has something to do with feeling special about owning a piece of history? Maybe I just don't entirely get what this takes from me as a canon company owner

It just means that you have a company named Kuat Drive Yards. No rule supports anything beyond that and you may infer whatever you'd like.
