Okay, I spent some time with one of your pilots (Ashley.Mc*) in Dublin today and I must say this:
While I'm sure you are some good fighters, I am not down with any Gaian RP that includes tangling with destroyers and BSes. That seems foolhardy at best, and possibly OORP (we are terrorists with underpowered ships and weapons-- guerrilla tactics, please?)
If I'm backed into a corner I might fight a single destroyer with two gunships, or one-on-one (today I got massacred by the bomber escort),
My general policy, however, will be to "melt into the skies" in the presence of local law enforcement. I will back up other Gaian pilots, but I won't go out of my way to engage po-po, armed forces, BPAF. That being said, I need to brush up on my gunship fighting.
My ships fly under the "Dr." tag (obviously not ALL Dr. names are me, like Dr.Spok for instance-- not me) and their primary focus is to hinder mining throughout the Gaian ZOI. Not killing or pirating miners, but dissuading them. I am not that concerned about Gaian wildlife. I am a bit concerned about FloraGro and terraforming gases, but preventing their trade is not my primary focus. I think Nomads are cuddly.
If I pirate it will be unrelated to my anti-mining activities.
I will not be joining Circle), but am glad to help out where I can. Just be advised that my RP will differ a bit from yours. I agree with most of what I see above, but my Gaian RP has a different, more surgical focus.
