Wow ive just wasted 30 minutes of my life reading all this crap.
Guess the only thing i would like to add to this mess is all this talk about Corsairs being oorp and pwning you all so you need loads of caps to counter it.
I think you will find we only use our own or allied weapons just like any other faction, the Brotherhood users more fighters and bombers than anything else and no ship bigger than a gunboat ever enters sig 13.
Of course we cant control and tell all the independent Corsairs and pirates what to fly but i can tell you this you wont see the brotherhood cap whoring or using oorp guns or ships, we fly titans and corsair bombers 90% of the time, im pretty sure everyone will tell you that.
I operate in sig 13 quite allot and you don't have it as hard as you make out in there.
Anyway now thats cleared up, good luck with it, im sure we will be seeing each other in sig 13 soon;)
