OK I've been asked the same questions about the fountain passport system, and I thought I'd answer the main questions here.
1. How much is a passport?
A passport is 1 mil per day per person.
2. What does a passport allow me to do?
Hunt and trade. If we find any non fa member mining in the region we will revoke the passport and proceed to escort the pod of the miner out of the region. Yes we will attack any non-fa that we find mining.
3. How long does a pass run for?
until Midnight on the day of expiry. Depending on when you purchase your passport you may get a couple of extra hours i.e. I'm sure none of the FA would sell you a passport that runs out in 1 hour!!!
4. What asurance do you have that you will not be attacked?
We run periodic patrols of all areas in fountain, and when we see people in the area that are non-FA we check that they have a passport, if not we then seek these people out. You should not worry if you have a passport. Also please if you see a patrol or a blockade at a gate stop, we will check your passports and let you pass.
5. I've heard of someone that had a passport was blown up, I don't trust you lot / I've been told tht you will take my money and then pod me on my way out in my indy.
The incident was an unfortunate mistake with our procedures. The person that was killed ran thought a checkpoint without stopping, and the people on the gate gave chase, cornered and killed the person. Once the dust settled we were contacted by one of his corp mates, and I belive that the matter was sorted out to everyone's satisfaction. We do not attack anyone that has a pass, ever.
6. So what does this passport get me?
You get the right to trade with the stations in the fountain region, and hunt the pirates. We try and stop loot thieves getting into the region and also we do not have any player pirates in the region. So for 1 mil a day you get a safe place to hunt NPC pirates (Sep Drug Barons and abouve as well as some gurestas) or have free trade with the stations down here.
If you want a passport please pop in the Fountain in game channel and ask for a passport, we can provide solo and corp passports.
Any futher questions place em here and I'll try and help as best as I can.

All very nice in theory but my past experience with "Alliances" has shown them to be nothing but hot air and ego stroking twits.

Alexia, because it was wrong of me to post it, i apologise.

you guys that are flamming etc. listen, we posted this to help you and if yu think a mil is alot to give a day, in fountain its like 1mil=10mil as money is that easy to come across. we didn't post this for you guys to flame just so you can possibly follow the regulations the FA set down, if you ignore these we will pod ya. remember this is for your good! no need for flamming please.

Note* This is all in good fun, do not take offense to this please. I am only playing the game the way I see it.
------------------------------------------------
Guess what?! I don't freaking care to ever go to FA as long as you greedy bastards continue to extort pilot's that want to enter!
I have the whole entire universe to make money so I don't need to go to FA to make money.
Would it be nice, sure. Do I need to go to FA to make money NO!
I just call it the way I see it! PURE EXTORTION!
That's all it is, period!
Mark my words, the days of the megacorps and alliances are numbered. Just like the roman empire they will eventually fall.

the roman empire fell b/c it went from a rebpulic to an Empire. thats just the first reason, and probally the best. after that the wars that ensued and there greed left them to there deaths. there military was made of mercenaries which also helped the fall. there economy was inflating which didn't help and all to all the people were sick, poor, tired, over worked, and the living conditions were horrible. not to mention there language which is hard as hell as i take it. but eventually the barbarians invaded and took over Rome.
^how does that relate to us?

um the age of megacorps and alliances dosent even really exist, you small corps and FLers say it to blame your troubles on something and to flame. the alliances are made of smart small corps, not huge corporations like TTI for example which whos days are numbered. so basically all the alliances are are smart small corps that got together to mine the heck outta a good location and to protect it from PKers, if you buy a passport then to us ur not a threat then your not a pker! dont get me wrong huge corporations like TTI for example are in alliances, though funny how TTI just made there alliance worse off! so dont give me this megacorp crap as all they did is play the game correctly and theres not many corps over 100 members which is probably where a megacorp begins. remember an alliance is made of mostly small corps like yourselves that are flaming this thread, don't get mad get glad!

Who does the 1M a day go to? Do you have, like, a kitty or something?
And would you charge the same amount for someone in a frigate? As it would be quite hard to earn multi-millions per day in a frigate.
Also, under #2, does that include mining, or are people only allowed to trade/hunt?
Finally, how much would you charge to someone who wanted to enter your region for the sole intent of killing innocents? I'd guess at least double...
Thank you for your time.

My dear Space Invader, pirates are not tolerated inside my area of space. You will not be able to buy a passport and if found you will be escorted to your clone facilities.
We sell passports to people not their ships. I could not care less if they fly a frigatte class vessel or a titan class vessel.
It is indeed easy to hide in Fountain and avoid detection for a while, but justice will be served and invaders killed off, time is on our side.
I would also like to point you to our non galnet communications, #fountain on the stratics network. Channel moderators there will be able to sell you passports.
Why do we charge money for entry? Well its more of a Customs tax so that our costs for keeping the region more or less Safe is covered.
If you have any questions to the Alliance feel free to ask the regional Marshalls in #fountain. |

I wasn't asking for my own benefit, but merely out of curiosity. I am rather well aware of how welcome I would be in your front garden.
When me and the boys are out robbing the unwary, we generally let frigates pass for nothing.
Although I wasn't intending to come to fountain at all, I am piqued now as to just how long I could avoid detection/ejection..
Also, thank you for your polite responses.

If the night is going *exceptionally* slowly, we'll charge them a couple of hundred K. But we would never charge someone 3-4 times the cost of their ship. They simply wouldn't pay it.
Whether the other guys have been killing frigs, I can't say (I almost guarantee molly has). But I don't subscribe to that myself, unless it a clearly suspicious character (ie. 50 man corp, one pilot in 0.0 in a tristan)
But then again, we're pirates, so even if we/I did, it wouldn't be going 'against the grain'.
