Right, I don't think the gripe here is about the RP, you may have great RP.
I don't want to participate with your RP.
It isn't freelancer RP, and whenever I see the BSG/CR, I have to think up a very long backstory that fits their ships, world, and the 13 colonies into my worldview for freelancer. It means all my characters who interact with the BSG/CR have to believe, ether that the BSG/CR are crazy, or that there are other people, and an empire of machines, somewhere else in the galaxy. Thats a model of the Freelancer universe that I HATE. It takes a whole lot of effort to rationalize the 13 colonies, and, to be honest, it doesn't really work. I'm sorry, You People really do seem to enjoy your 13 colonies RP, but it doesn't work here, nor should it be allowed: If a faction cant start today, and have 13 colonies RP, why can an official faction maintain its 13 colonies RP? Double standard.
