I'm still waiting on 4.86 before I really return to disco, but I still keep in the loop regarding the order... mostly, anyways. Still, other than the phantoms, there's nothing of tactical importance in omicron alpha that interests us - most of our time spent in alpha has either been to keep an eye on phantom activities or to research the nebula around the omicron 90 jumphole.
Even around the time I quit playing disco, RP seemed to be meaning less to players than straight up pvp, so I dont expect anyone to try and follow any kind of sensible RP now - but as far as the faction's RP goes, we have absolutely no reason or want to engage the outcasts. Our former allies turned on us, we got our planet blown up by nomads, lost almost the entire fleet, and we're on the run to a new home system - we have neither the manpower, resources, or time to engage an enemy that's more or less left us alone in the past.
