I would say 90% of all new brotherhood members are indie players who have only just joined the server or have been around abit, almost all of that 90% are people the Elders of the faction do NOT know ingame, the first time we talk to them is in the application thread or if a indie talks to us ingame and we tell them to post in the application thread, it has absolutely nothing to do with if there friends with someone.
Im getting sick of all this Factions are only out to get indies BS, ask any Corsair indie in Gamma if they feel oppressed from the factions that own that space.
The problem here is a few people seem to have got it into there heads that theres some big conspiracy going on between faction and admins, TBH have an admin in our faction and we get treated the same as any other player on this server.
Funny thing is this all came about with a few factions restricting the use of cap ship flying indies in there space (endorsed by the admins) and by cap ship flying indies i mean the ones that don't RP whatsoever, the thing is if you fly a cap ship and RP ingame you haven't got a problem, this is a RP server after all so if you have no intention of RPing what the hell are you doing here in the first place? so RP abit and all is well, but no thats too hard and restrictive for some people so now we have all the BS on the forum.
Another thing that makes me laugh is how done to these indie cap flyer's really think they have it, try joining a faction and getting a cap ship, faction players have much more of a hard time getting a capship but the fact that indies have to RP in there ship is way to much for some people, THIS IS A RP SERVER YOU SHOULD BE RPING ANYWAY.
Now stop crying about how hard done to you all are and play the game on the server like its supposed to be "RP".
