Gang hideouts/shipments/profit

Hi all,

I've been playing for a while now, gone through a couple of Resets, but I have some questions about how the gang system works.

I've made a one-person gang just so that I could get access to some of the PVP content, but I've also realised that I may have potentially screwed myself a bit if I ever want to join a larger clan. I've made Hideouts at the Docks, Metroplex U and Slags to improve resting, but I also have about 14 total shipments and 14 profits currently unused (trying to keep my inventory a bit tidier.)

If I leave 'my' gang for another gang, will 'my' gang simply disappear? If so is there any way currently, or any likely future way, to pull profits/shipments out of my gang and take them with me? (Or, in fact, to simply have an option to have my gang be 'taken over' by a new gang I'm joining, with the new gang gaining the shipments/profits of the one being taken over.)

Mainly wondering because, while it was fun storing up a few days worth of Energy to make a concerted PVP assault on multiple different zones to get the 'only when in control' benefits, and get things like reactive gel, I'm pretty sure I don't have a realistic hope of getting together the hundreds (thousand+?) profit that I'd need to kit out my hideouts with the better upgrades, plus there's the whole 'trying to be social' thing…

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

If you're the only leader of a gang, you can't leave without deleting it (unless I broke something). So you couldn't really move on without handing the gang off to someone else or just leaving those profits.

On the bright side, you'd be gaining way more than 14 profits worth of hideout upgrades by moving to a more established gang.

Cheers!
Kinak

It shouldn't be a huge loss, particularly if you move quickly. Using the completely-unbiased example of my own gang (The Hounds of Hameln), you'd be getting all discovered upgrades to all hideouts, and hundreds of profit. We'd probably be able to get you a gang jacket and a custom weapon within the week, and plenty of nice people to talk to.

I feel kind of icky making an advertisement post, though, so I'll cut it short. Good luck in all your endeavors, and if you want to talk to someone who's been solo since the gangs were implemented, chat with Argeth.

Edit: Ha, turns out Wyrd already invited you to the Hounds. Good to have you. :)
