[High Priority] Official Notice: Core ID/Tech cell change

[Antonio]

Core invented APM - They're now no longer allowed to play APM? By that logic, Samura can't RP the production of KU navy vessels, or DHC RM vessels? The only comms or RP BHG ever makes is whining about stolen tech, anyhow.

No, they're not. Ever since the split between Core and BHG assets, they are only allowed to share the Core part of APM, while they still try to monitor both. THAT's the problem, and THAT's why it worked for all those years before because it was all the same entity. As for your other example, Samura definitely can roleplay the production of a capital vessel, but they can't roleplay giving that vessel out to whoever they please, at least not without the agreement from KNF. Just because you manufacture tech for someone doesn't mean you get to hand it over left and right as you please. You manufacture it for someone you have some sort of a contract with (Samura with KNF, Daumann with RM, APM with Core & BHG), and that someone gets to decide who else can have it other than them. APM manufactures Core tech for Core and BHG tech for BHG. BHG decides who gets to get their tech, not APM.

This whole thread makes me shake my head.

Edit: Your comment about BHG shows you're absolutely clueless when it comes to understanding roleplay. "The only RP BHG ever does"? BHG's main source of income and surviving is, surprise surprise, bounty hunting. How do you do bounty hunting? By killing bountied targets. What does that require? PvP. They're one of the few factions where PvP is almost entirely the faction's roleplay (PvP is a form of roleplay as much as typing essays in local chat is, and is a much better representation of it than drinking tea with the enemy), yet you get to complain how they "don't send comms". Sure, they could be doing more, by that logic any faction could, but they're already doing what they're supposed to - hunting bounties. They actually play they role by shooting everything that's bountied which is the definition and core of the faction's roleplay. Whether you like that form of roleplay or not is up to you, but don't talk nonsense about how they "don't RP".
