' Wrote:I was under the impression that the current BSG were the old BSG that didn't feel like getting a name change and all that crap, and that CR is the current 'BSG'
Of course don't take MY word for it.
this asks for my explanation...
old BSG was led by Warhammer. Some of older members (namely me and Yngen) didn't agree with faction ship choice, weapons list, fleet size and numbers of capital ships. and constant pvp. Also we wanted to improve our RP cause we felt it came to dead end. So we made our members to chose to go our way or old BSG way. That made Warhammer very mad (he was insulted by the way it has been done) so he left entirely, as few other members.
Our older players stood by Yngen (he is a leader now) although they also didn't like the change, while almost every new recruit remained in BSG.
Effective immediately we began restructuring our fleet and goals. Reviewed our hostile and allied list. We sold all our capital ships apart from one Bstar, we don't use any cruisers or bombers and have fleet of 6 gunboats.
We do attack Alpha and outcasts, but maybe twice a month...most of our fighting is in Taus, and on rare occasions. We do search and destroy Cylons since it is our RP and we hunt them in every system we get info they are hiding. Most of the times it is in cooperation with local factions.
BSG on the other hand, with loss of their leader actually role played their way out of this very well. They don't use capital ship, which was our idea at start and raised most troubles on our forums. They are rouge viper squad who respects CR leadership but don't always follow us. Recently our traders showed them few trade routes so they improve on that aspect too...we wear IMG tags and ID on all our ships. IMG ID was my advice since IMG are independent, have shipbuilders, live in distant and mostly hostile unpopulated areas (that agrees with our search for home), but they are also rich enough to maintain a mid sized fleet, powerful enough to strike back enemies, and neutral enough compared to rest of the factions. Its next best thing to zoner ID. In Tau 44 Minato Harbor was imagined to be called Freeport when we designed system. But due to rules Igiss made we renamed it to Harbor(as somewhat synonym to port)
If people even tries to give a chance to both our factions to role play our game they would see that there is more that beats the eye.
chopper i know CR inst theme of this thread but i needed to explain how we broke apart, and explain origins of our ID and role play, also to show few things that are different between us...since all that happened before your time in BSG.
EDIT: @ chopper....i meant ID selection and system planing...
