We have taken into account your advice, and gotten rid of the riff raff within the JG. Here is the result...

Changes to the ships we fly

In order to better RP, we have scrapped most of the ships we used to fly. The ships which we will now fly are detailed below. Please note that the IMG Gunboat and Taiidan Bomber will only be in use until a more appropriate Zoner model comes out (which we are working on at the moment).

Fighters Ravens Talon and Eagles for full members, Tiger Shark for members on probation
Bombers Taiidan (While we wait for our own, or the IMG bomber)
Gunboats IMG Gunboat (Until one closer to our hearts comes out)
Traders - Yet to be decided, refer to Elite Trade-Wing Commander, Roadrunner
Capital Ships Zoner only

[font=Impact]Changes to our weapons

Our weapons will be limited to:

Zoner weapons
Codes
Civilian weapons
Weapons that are allowed by The Benitez

Changes to the recruiting process

We have devised a new, more efficient and rewarding way of recruiting new players into the Jupiter Guild. We have changed it from the old recruiting process to make it more fun, yet also more of a challenge. Thats why we play anyway isnt it? Its not too tedious or difficult as to scare the sort of players we want experience capable ones. (If you are already a good player with cash and ability, you are after fun otherwise why come?)
The process, detailed here, hopes to achieve the following:

An opportunity to prove the potential member is going to stick with the JG - ie its not whim or quick cash opportunity.
A chance to check out the person for adherence to rules, RP and willingness to fit in with JG.
A chance to educate the person on how the JG operates and what it expects of its members.
A chance for the recruit to taste and see if they want to stay.

Changes to our diplomacy

As many players have told us in the past, you can never be truly neutral. Well, now we are not.
Allied: All Zoners,
Friendly: IMG, The Benitez, GMG
Neutral: All other factions, unless otherwise stated
Unfriendly:Outcasts, Hessians, Lane Hackers
Hostile: Molly's, anyone who threatens any zoner anywhere

[font=Impact]Changes to our Trade-Wing

The Trade-Wing's priority has been shifted from money-making to RP supply runs. We will be emulating the Zoner Trader NPCs as much as possible, completing food supply runs to the Benitez and Corsairs. Please note that the Trade-Wing is not a separate entity to the JG, and anything that happens to the traders will be dealt with accordingly, and with force if need be.

Changes to our services

We will no longer be offering our bounty services. We will be focusing on escorting, body guarding, RP trade, and defending Zoner bases. To reflect this large change, we will all now wear the Zoner ID and tag and RP profusely whilst doing so.
