I'd wondered about that, since I didn't see it in the house listings in the pdf guide. I'd quess that might also be why I've never been offered a mission after the initial one?Maregies isn't meant to be one of the feudal states.
So is there anything I should do to fix it? No rank to lose, if I need to erase something and start over. I'd been thinking it might have glitched because I had briefly had "offender" status while I was enroute in the fist mission to deliver a load of furs as a diplomatic gift. LOL
It's a great OXP with the premise/backstory and all. One suggestion would be that maybe after some specific rank is achieved the player might be able to opt to put their house arms/device on their ship as a "decal". Or what elements of the coat of arms may be added might depend on rank.
Whatever glitch resulted in my ending up being a member of a non-feudal state seems to have allowed me to look for tournament challenges at the RHL, but not to get missions from the court. It might be interesting to make it an option if somebody wanted to play basically "blank shield" or mercenary. It might fit with some people's fantasy self-image as "intergalactic being of mystery" or whatever, and they might be occasionally offered missions that would be.. well.. expedient, but outside of most folk's idea of the chivalric code.
Personally, I'd rather play as an official member of one of the feudal states, but it might fit some people's game persona to remain undeclared after completing the initial mission to prove their worthiness. Alternatively, maybe figure out some special place to go or whatever to be offered an Ecclesiastic coat of arms to belong to something a bit like an Intergalactic Knights Templar. Since missions for someone like that would maybe tend more to moving large quantities of "ship's safe" type valuables or important documents and rare relics, they'd be serious pirate magnets.
