There's a reason why factions do what they do. It's pretty much black and white. ALG collects trashes, Junkers are Junkers, IMG mines outside of the houses where corporations can't reach them, USI is Space FedEx,
The factions do what they're supposed to do. I understand wanting to expand your roleplay, but your roleplay is the roleplay of your faction. The faction as a whole has a direction, a goal, and just does what it does. GMG mines gas and acts as a miniature house. That's what they do. They mind their business and sell H-fuel. Do they have foreign interests? Perhaps, but certain situations are a bit far-fetched.
Great concepts, misunderstandings and so forth.
I'm glad you brought up USI as (Space FedEx) its natural that you'll understand that a Shipping Corporation has incorporated a mining institution; http://discoverygc.com/wiki/Minnesota_Mi...g_%283M%29
Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing (3M)
MMM' USI bought it outright and are mining plutonium of course we'll scribble out the metagaming DSE ID miners they use at time but its done already in Alberta, with 2 of their stations.
So say USI can do it as an official faction and nobody turns an eye lid, however a mining guild like the GMG, after all these years of the same lore. What you're telling ms is that none of our technology has been upgraded since the beginning of freelancer and none of the GMG has ever advanced other than mining and selling Gas. We all know in the real world *RP* GMG would improve and expand. Isn't that's what's happening here?
I'm agreeing we've picked a large very long distant station away from our home, but why can't we use Kishiro or USI to fill our base with stock along side DSE indies? - Or are we still at the stoneage here?
-- See, things with freelancer was born in 13, if freelancer 2 adapted, things would improve and things would develop. Why because the game cannot develop we cannot develop new lore and increase foreign adoptions and increase business for ourselves?
Obviously the bidding continues and we can pull out at any stage but I did it to raise a question. Can we change? or does the GMG live in the stone age still, yet Samura are building Jump gates.
The conversation must go on....

Okay so obviously things would evolve and a company of GMG's size would branch out to seek more profits. BUT, this is a game ( : you have to remember there are other factions out there and we try to keep them all as active as another to make things seem realistic. By plowing kicking someone off of their turf, you could hurt gameplay. Plus there's RP stuff besides what I've said.
^ Simple as possible.
Oh and you can't change base names etc so it would look odd.
