Arachnos Research and Development (ARAD)

Description
Our remit is to enhance and upgrade existing Arachnos technology. Create new weapons and defense systems for Arachnos. Acquire new sources of technology and modify for use by Arachnos. Field test all technology to ascertain usefulness.

We welcome all Arachnos-loyal scientists, tinkerers, technicians and inventors. We also welcome any technological creations loyal to Arachnos who might need our expertise to be upgraded and repaired.

Requirements for Secondment
- Be of Technological Origin.
- Either be a Robotics Mastermind (human or robot appearance), */Traps Corruptor (human or robot appearance), or any Archetype designed as a robot/automaton.
- Interested in a low-to-moderate amount of Zone PvP (Field Tests).
- Willing to involve a low-to-moderate amount of roleplay into your playstyle.
- Willing to work together to the eventual creation of an SG Laboratory/Base (using SG mode to earn Prestige, etc.)

Playstyle/Playtimes
To start with while we are low in number (sub-10 players) we will adopt a casual playstyle, with no requirements beyond pooling Salvage and earning Prestige. If we grow beyond this, we will consider a more formal structure, with SG Events (Field Tests and Strike Forces).

We seek people who mainly play late evenings (9pm onwards) but will welcome anyone at any time. Field Tests will usually be arranged for Saturday Evenings (6pm onwards), to allow the maximum amount of people to participate.

SG Mode
We ask that while facing technological foes you are in SG Mode so that ARAD can capture new salvaged components for lab development. Versus any arcane foes, you may stay out of SG Mode and enhance your infamy.

There is no set SG uniform. We are, accordingly, very fond of lab coats however! Plus Arachnos seems to like their creations in black, red and grey.

Ranking
The SG Ranks will be named, and used, as follows...

- Chief Scientist (Group Leader: All Permissions)
- Defense Systems Designer (Base Designer: Invite Permission, Base-related Permissions)
- Assault Systems Designer (Raid Leader: Invite Permission, Raid-related Permissions)
- Lead Scientist (Full Member: Invite Permission, Base Use)
- Scientist (New Member: Base Use)

A Scientist will attain the rank of Lead Scientist once a System Designer or Chief Scientist thinks them ready.

Coalitions
We will be interested in Coalitions with any Arachnos-loyal Organisations, most especially any mystical groups who we would be happy to trade Arcane for Tech Salvage with.

Website
We don't have one. We have this thread. We get enough members, we'll think about it

So, is this going to be my Character Parking Lot? Or am I going to get a little bit more support than that?

Its a great idea, i was trying to come up with a charatcer that could utilise a lab coat.

Good luck with this.

Poke me in game if you want to exchange arcane salvage for tech salvage. I have stacks of the stuff. Though I note you dont appear to carry more than 20 of 1 type of salvage or more than about 40 different types of salvage. So the limited space does seem to have a limit.

I'd like to sign Doc Bot up for this, I'm fairly certain he's technology origin :P Bots/FF. I'm normally available later on in the evenings, although my time is being chewed up right now between Coh, Cov and Civ 4 (which is being delivered right now :P

Fantastic idea, I can just imagine a big group of mad scientists in lab coats all sat at work stations in a big SG base.

I'll even cross over from Onion and make an alt that will join in the fun.

It's good to be on board...

I've just brought my beta series of Bot's online, and so will be spending a little time tweaking those, but once the tweaks are done I'll be back raiding the groups of the rogue isles for useful technology.. I have some samples from a couple of different groups now... most interesting some of it, most interesting indeed...

Doc Bot...

GL with this master zap, as you have seen the swords aint bad, shame you had to leave, now things are kinda on the road and the base is IoP worthy, we are primarily arcane, so feel free to call me any time for a trade off, u are on my friends anyways.

Good to see that during my winter absence ARAD has faired well and even grown somewhat!

I'm back at the lab now, and it feels good

The ARAD Forums have undergone a bit of an image overhaul. All current scientists and experiments need to make themselves known so they can get access to the private forums
