Will orgs be able to engage in "guild wars" against other orgs? Enter alliances that give some kind of bonus or benefits? And could an entire org become blacklisted by law enforcement groups like the uee advocacy, similar to how in real life a person can be arrested for being involved with a known criminal organization like a gang,syndicate or violent extremist group?asked by WLB

TL;DRGuild wars are expected, with large org conflicts planned over contested areas, and orgs that keep attacking institutions could become enemies of the state, though the reputation system for this isn't finalized.

So yes definitely you'll be able to engage in guild wars, infact i'm pretty confident there will be guild wars considering the amount of different organizations I've seen that we have and the fact that a few of them are diametrically opposed to each other. We are building three levels of gameplay that we're focusing on, one is sort of solo gameplay, which is more atin to the privateer, freelancer game where you can do your own stuff, you could potentially do work for bigger organizations or other people. Then we've got the sort of group of friends setup so think of that like a raiding party or something in world of warcraft, you and three or four of your friends are flying a constellation and you're going off on missions and then we have the big level organization stuff where we're deliberately going to have some areas that the organizations would want to fight over or control or own and that would involve lots of people not just three or 4 people. You know, hundreds of people, maybe not all hundreds in the exact same instance at the same time but you know a bigger scale conflict where people are bringing bigger ships to the fight and working with various fighters and medium sized ships and cap sized ships, combined arms and all that kind of stuff, so we're trying to create that level of gameplay and I think it would be cool, also I think that if an organization sort of persists attacking sort of the institutions where it's the UEE or whatever then yes at that point the organization would be the enemy of the state and will have AI, say advocacy members come after that organization if they know or can detect them. and there's that organization, so we haven't finalized the reputation system that would go with that and how that gets transmitted or broadcast and how you can spoof that or hide it from people, but that would all be sort of plugged into that and I think it should make it a pretty interesting game dynamic and we'll see what happens. I know we have plenty of pirate orgs for instance, they will probably be on the other side of the law. So there you go! I hope that answers the question.
