Yeah, the VM system can be tricky! It might just limit your potential for getting people involved. It isn't just needing admin approval to have Jedi/Sith in the faction, but Cartel or any other indie as well. Either way, good luck.
@Bee- Yes, I'm going the Indie Faction route. It's a Force tradition just as strong as the Sith or the Jedi, just much smaller and not as well known. There's no such thing as a Jedi Zeison Sha, or a Sith Zeison Sha... so I don't want people that are affiliated with them. I could see us having no problem with a character supporting the Rebellion, or being on friendly terms with any of the larger factions. Thanks for the input, though!
Are you making this an indie faction? I think you might be able to include more characters if you don't go that route for now - players need admin approval to have characters in multiple official factions, and if you kept it as a loose organization you could pull in people affiliated with the Cartel/Jedi/Sith/etc who want to follow that particular path.
Hey I saw your post here and I know you were trying to be funny, but seeing that can really hurt some peoples feelings. A lot of us are just here to have fun so to attack people for not being 'good' enough kind of defeats that fun. Just something to keep in mind
