We need a GMG Player faction.

Ah, Kishiro. That's fine then, although a few GMG based ships could be sold on Ogashawa. That would be great.

[SevereTrinity]

Alright, send em over Skype, and we'll see what we can do to making them into a faction status

[Orin]

I can write up a history of the GMG from scratch and the info I have. Is anyone else already doing this?

I have compiled 21 SS on GMG

Orin: The GMG use no capital ships. They aren't a conventional force, that's what people need to realise. GMG is a corporation that accomplishes whatever goals it can with diplomacy and it's connections in the government, corporations and even unlawful factions. What it can't defend from indirectly, it defends directly using one of the best trained and equipped fighter and bomber wings in Sirius. The GMG taught the Blood Dragons how to fight in nebulas as well as supplied them with cash to become a strong enough force to threaten Samura (source: rumours on Kyoto). I believe that stands for something.

The GMG *never* fight head on. They use superior tactics and speed and skills to get things done. Besides, Cruisers and Battleships would get dismantled in the thick clouds of Sigma-13 by quick strikes before they could do any damage, in RP anyways. Ergo, no cruisers, limited gunboats, preferably only Kusari Explorers.

[Orin]

I still think that the GMG would have evolved and would have developed the mindset that a flagship would cement their intimidation ability. But if everyone is completely against a mini-house flying a single Cruiser, nevermind.

Orin: It's not about "evolving" into battleships:PBig ships are infeasible in the thick clouds of Sigma-13. Do you really think that the GMG, the faction that defeated the *entire* Rheinland Military on it's own thanks to superior tactics, would make a ridiculous blunder such as this? The blunder being fielding large ships, vulnerable to strike craft, in a system where an attack can come from any direction completely undetected due to the nebula intefering with sensors and visuals. It's not how it looks in gameplay, it's about the RP. In RP GMG use no capships and with good reason. Hope you see my point.

[Orin]

I've mentioned that it would only be a stationary defense ship moored to Naha or Ogashawa, but I do see your point.

The old GMG faction did quite well, with RP and pvp, and diplomacy between other factions.. The problem with this is that around once every two days, the OPG would fly into Sigma-13 with ~ 7 Gunboats, no exaggeration, and attack the GMG with no RP behind it whatsoever. Makes it worse that Corsairs inhabit the lower part of the system. The GMG gas miners are among Outcast territory in Sigma-13, but OPG GB-spammed the GMG constantly. Thats why they eventually had BSs and Cruisers when they had started with only VHFs and bombers..

I sincerely hope this does NOT happen again, and also would be glad to see a new GMG faction rise up.. I might even join it, at least until its off the ground. Heh, maybe I can even convince the old GMG faction leader to come back and help, or lead a new GMG faction for a second try.

Really? 7 gunboats? The biggest gunboat spam that was ever inflicted on the GMG by OPG was when GMG showed up in a cruiser and gunboat at CADIZ OMEGA 5. Even then that was some three gunboats. Biggest non gunboat spam attack was a few fighters, bombers, a gunboat and an osiris.

Get your filthy face out of eve online and get back into Freelancer and maybe you'd see the truth every once in a while. Don't sit there brooding and talking smack about how OPG are gunboat whores without proof to back your words up. OPG's changed a lot since it's start here, I've seen to that. Now don't go take a crap all over that cause your parents receive a wellfare check at the end of the month for their son's lack of substantial mental capacity.

or lead a new GMG faction for a second try.

Heh you lead a faction. Don't make me laugh.

To everyone else, sorry for the off topic reply to Dab here. Thought it had to be done is all.

[Orin]

Okay, forget the Albatross. It doesn't really matter, I just thought having a flagship would work, but I guess not.

Anyways, I'd hate to see us just as a bomber whoring faction, but it's kind of a necessity for GMG RP and tactics.

Here's a little doodle I messed around with last night:



You have any vector art for the GMG, Blodo?


EDIT: Mule, if you've got a problem with Dab's comments, please take it to PM. Thank you.
