Waiting list? Lol...maybe if someone does something stupid and gets their first ship blown up without enough funds to replace it. Otherwise, by the time someone gets knocked out-probably from combat in the late game, you wouldn't have a chance. Unless USEC wants to throw you in with a massive cash boost from the start. That's not exactly fair to the surviving players though-

"P1: Hey, I finally beat my rival Dwarmin! woo! It was a hard fought battle, but it was worth it...

Techno:Yo guys, I'm on the waiting list. $1,000,000 credits to start? kewl *buys 100 battleships*

P1:%&#^##@#@"

Thats just my extremely biased opinion. USEC could manage to balance it in some way, So it's up to him.

If I wanted to add people in later, I would go for an average amount of money for that person. I'll add you to the waiting list. (Unless you can get your ships/company in before Maxicaxi tells me the name of the captain.)

 The corporation is a bit young, hence the lack of logo. They might adopt a logo if someone creates one for them.

 I'll purchase ships if and when I get in, considering the possibility of proportionate funds.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Look good? I googled claw and thats what popped up :P
Also...lol. SHADOW really would *buy 100 battleships*! What ever resource gathering corp that hires him automatically wins the game. Kewl? I say, none of these war corps should be allowed in until there's at least one to match every existing corp, and they have decided which company to support beforehand.. Now, that would be interesting, no?

Now who says my corporation would accept attack orders? ;P

 Also, I'm personally not keen to the concept of being restricted to servicing one organization at a time. I like the concept of being true mercenaries, going where the money is.

 And thanks.
EDIT: adding some rules of engagement for my corporation.

Actually, I think having and odd number of companies would make for an interesting power structure, as it would be fundamentally unbalanced. I'll be adding you in.

As for SHADOWdump's mercenaries, I'll make a mental note for when people can start hiring them. Currently, we're at the very shallow end of ships and weaponry. As for limiting the war corps to one company, I'll only do it if they start unbalancing gameplay a lot. Still working on flavour. Also, I can't believe that I forgot about hyperspace.

I was wondering, is it possible to perform a gravity slingshot around one of the stars?

If you want me to make the rules more complex, sure.

What's wrong with complex rules? Can produce interesting results at times. >:D
