Factions Probated: IMG and GRN

[Jack_Henderson]

Omi and I spent a lot of time discussing how to move forward and we managed to pinpoint some problem fields that have been responsible for the negative approach our factions and we had for a while.

We (Omi and me) will be pointing out approaches to issues here, and we will also accept the Admin's offer of assisting by requesting some changes. It will be a step-by-step process, which we document here.

Problem fields and solutions:

1. Java Docking of IDs hostile to GRN

We agree that Java, as well as Holman, are so well inside of GRN territory that these enemy-dockings should not happen. History has shown that the fiercest oorp fights came from such incidents. IMG is unwilling to FR5 whole IDs, single-FR5 procedures are no fun and take long, and GRN of course does not want to just watch its enemies abusing the IMG base. The situation has been repeated so often that it created a lot of bad blood and hardened fronts on oorp levels.

=> Solution we agreed on: GRN has a small number of soldiers (~ 50) on these two IMG stations (Java, Holman). They are positioned in/close to the hangars and do not normally interfere with "on station business", but they have a watchful eye on the hangars.

They GRN troops there impound enemy ships and arrest crews that docked there illegally automatically. This keeps the roleplay that we both see as undesirable and that is prone to rekindle the problems from appearing hopefully. An enemy docks on Java, he is arrested. Done. And that is the roleplay IMG will be giving in these situations.

=> Request: Change to Info Cards: We need the following additions to the infocards of Java and Holman, if this approach is considered acceptable (there has been some feedback that this approach could go towards powergaming another character, but he 'powergames' IMG and GRN by putting us in that situation in the first place, as it would not happen that way in reality).

Since the successful GRN invasion of the Taus, the Hangars are patrolled by contingents of GRN Marines who uphold and enforce Gallic laws, search suspicious vessels, impound enemy vessels, confiscate contraband and arrest crews of illegal ships and haul them off to interrogration.
