The Mollys - Official Faction Request

[FallenKnight]

Avalanche, you did great job to return mollies back on the image.What you writed here, as presentation for your faction, is nice and sounds good. There are just some minor problems which can evolve in to big problems and turn [M] to dead faction. If you are going official, which I really want since mollies are only unknown indies, FIX the problems in your faction:

1. Basic information from before: The early factions known as =M= and MS (separatists) did a very good kind of RP. The M were normal mollies with good RP, collecting taxes and fighting Kusarians, Corsairs, indie Pirates and Mercs that come in Dublin, your realm. Molly Separatists didnt liked the ways of the normal mollies and their hostility against Bretonia, so they turned semi-neutral to both molly and bretonia armed forces.
~ The point is that they had a very interesting ways of RP.

2. Basic information now: The mollies from [M] now are nothing, from my experience so far against them, but ... pvp guys with less RP options. I dont know how you hire them but I have become witness of many frustrated situations that really makes mollies from [M] no different that any other pirates in Sirius. Always looking for fighting only, never fighting if forcing an equal numbers (that happened twice in my presence) and even ganking (cant count the numbers but I was lone bomber with 1 anti cap bs 1 indie templar against 5 + caps from SCRA|, [M] and several other fighters).
~Fighting all and primary bretonians is not the direct molly way but keeping Dublin safe from your known enemies and then fight bretonians is .

-2.1: Reputation: Your [M] reputation is really messed and totaly unknown. I wont give examples of certain situations or judge your ways to decide your enemies but it is well known that so far [M]'s were fighting on the side of eternal enemies to bretonia ( and to mollies in RP):
- Reavers (sometimes, its ok they are mercenaries working for you)
- RM/ BDM/ any other rheinland faction ( that is distrbing, supporting invaders is no different than supporting knf)
- KNF ( you were fighting on their side some times which is more shocking, or targeting bretonian pilots primary, without to follow your RP and kill the sushi guys first and then to kill the bretonians)
- Corsairs ( yup, we know you did that too, fighting on their side or fighting primary bretonians when corsairs (your eternal and primary enemies after bretonians) are next to you)

So your reputation is shocking and not fixed yet. Mollies and BAF were always fighting Kusarians together no matter their in-RP differences. Mollies and BAF were fighting all of the mentioned above enemies together ( except RM... since it's enemy). Fighting on RM side (invaders to bretonia) is equal to fighting on KNF side (invaders to bretonia) which dont fits for your faction RP.
Again I repeat, do what you want but if you see yourselves from different point of view, you will get immediately what I mean.
~The reputation changes the faction and making it different. An official faction must follow its original reputation and work to keep it.

-2.2: Tech permissions: Every faction is clear to do RP requests and receive permissions for different faction ships and weapons. Sharing weapons from other faction is one thing, but changing ships is another. No matter if you get 1 Odin or 1 Sabre if you want, it is very strange from others point of view.
-Bretonia have known enemies and they are using known ships met to fight inside bretonia space.
-Rheinland and Kusari have other ships created and balanced for their inside space borders. Messing so much other faction's ships in order to achieave superiority on the field is interesting indeed and yet...not a move for an official faction. I am giving you direct example: Imagine if with proper RP, BAF received 10 Katanas to fight KNF and ofc you all. Half of the members said "If that happens, we will quit" because an official faction is met to use official faction ships only.
-Liberty is in alliance with Bretonia, the only two homes with such a thing. How many times you have seen BAF guardians or liberators? Never, cuz even with such high level of diplomatic relationships, officials are met to be officials and stays on their own ship line.
~The ship changes the faction. Using anything different than your ship line is making you a copy-cat faction to another faction. There is no difference for us to fight [M]Odins or [RHA]Odins.Its all the same ship and probably, OOC the are same pilots.

3. Recruiting: Below your sigi, you have a very interesting motivation words for ppl interested to join your faction. But if you are starting to motivate them with "Come, we can give you different than molly ships", soon or later you will have enough pilots in your faction, interested only of the ship, cuz it will be the only reason for them to join. These people will be active only for the PVP and not for RP, which is the key of being official.
~I am giving a direct example: Think of the best ship, from your oppinion, in Sirius. Make it possible for use from BAF pilots. Yea .. it wont be hard to imagine 10+ people online with it isnt it? Every faction have its pluses and minuses. Bretonia may not give a good ships for pvp but it gives excellent opportunity for RP wise

Dont take this as rude act. I just pointed several problems which I collected since your faction creation until today, and said them all at once.

P.S: Write slowly Snac3 we dont need a burst of spam:P
P.S: Hone, say a word to bring us a smile:)
