Sooo.. The only thing I'd like to know is whether you intend to keep playing like this, for that same reason of "Others did it to us first", or whether you view this as a mistake and intend to do better in the future.

Personally, I'm more than willing to step back and take a look at what BOTH sides are doing wrong. But I'm not going to do that until Jack/IMG drops their admittedly ooRP Sirius-wide bounty on us. Secondly, I can't speak for the TS chat gank fleet, as the majority of them aren't even members of JM and only show up to those fights purely for the reason of killing the IMG/making Jack mad.

That said, if you're going to complain here from now on, I'd appreciate it if you guys gave the names of the ships you have a problem with, or else I'm just going assume those that are complaining are merely doing so from a position of bias.

Quick side note on the position of using admittedly OP ships. Have you tried to fight in a Collector lately? Particularly against IMG, which seems to be entirely made up of Nyxs now. The Collector can't even use Codes right, it only gets three guns. We don't have a real gunboat, the Bulldog is good for dodging, but it isn't able to put out enough DPS to be truly effective, and we have a massive SHF that is supposed to be used as a bomber. It seems to be that we hear complaints about us using OP ships, when the IMG uses Nyxs and Marauders, both of which may not be OP, but are definitely very good ships, yet nobody seems to have a problem with that.

Edit: Jack posted while I was typing, so more things to cover.

The amount of actual IMG| official ships that have been pirated by the JM is extremely low, so unless you've decided to start counting Indy IMG ships as part of your faction, that argument doesn't have a lot of merit. Jack you also seem to be forgetting where this bounty on JM stemmed from in the first place. The IMG| bountied us on the behalf of MiCo| a group of independent IMG miners, who were probably some of the biggest lolwuts I've ever had the pleasure of attempting to RP with. They appearantly complained to the IMG|, who then demanded that we, the JM, give the IMG| money to compensate them for their losses, when we didn't do that, we got a bounty placed on us, which the IMG| had no real reason to place, if the MiCo| wanted us dead they could have easily bountied us themselves, they had plenty of money to do so. Oh, and MiCo| is a defunct group now anyway, so the original bounty the IMG| placed on us doesn't even have a point to be there anymore.

Furthermore, the bounty hurts us a lot more than you realise, since before it was Sirius wide we could go to Kyushu to pirate ships, but are now incapable of doing that because various people come to hunt us down. In fact, the JM rarely even gets to pirate anymore, we seem to spend almost the entirety of our time in Tau-23 fighting the IMG.
