Once you have the Solicitor License, you have permission to post advertisements and bills on the ship’s public messaging boards. These advertisements must be reviewed by the ship HOST prior to them being public, but if they are tasteful, respectful, and non-inflammatory, there is relatively no limit to the subject matter that can be posted.
In addition to being a solicitor, you are Licensed to scan and maintain Statecraft “Points-of-Interest”, or POIs. When you find something of interest that you can scan, it may require some action on your behalf. Not all POIs require action, but if they do and you perform the activity, you will receive a reward from either your Department Head or the Captain’s Assistant’s Office.
Out of Game (OOG)
POIs are represented using a QR code that you will need to scan using the Essex App. Some POIs are obviously keyed towards one Pillar or another, but when in doubt, the app will warn you if you’re going to scan something you’re not Licensed to scan. If you abandon the attempt once you see the warning, there will be no in-game legal consequences. Some POIs will require more Licenses than the Tier 1 License of your Pillar. If so, you will be unable to complete the POI unless you have someone with the appropriate License assisting you. Both of you will need to report for the reward so that you can prove you were both Licensed to perform the activity.
