Black Widow, considering your play style, would it be safe to assume you're making a cap faction, like a CCCP that (gasp) doesn't break the rules?
Not really that hard to pull off, even with smaller numbers, recruit indie caps in-game and whatnot, make a Skype group and organize raids.
If you want to make a snub heavy faction (which is the standard for serious official house military factions), you're obviously going to face a more uphill struggle in terms of players.
