This is my first time ever commenting or giving feedback on any group going for Official'dom. Ever.
If I'm being brutally honest, with both myself and to HS>, I don't think I've ever had a bad or negative experience with them. They seem like a good group of players. I always enjoy the roleplay that -always- takes place before any sort of engagement with them. Then without fail, there is always a mutual exchange of kudos on the forums and /FM's in-game. Outcast factions have come and gone over the years and if there is one that I'd like to see stick around, it'd have to be you guys. Now, this is of course my own dealings when I'd faced them in space.
Like, a moment ago, in NY - They got what I can only describe as steamrolled by a mass counter-log of Liberty lawfuls. There's no negative comments from them after a loss, nor do they ever rub salt in the wound when they win. Very respectful players in my eyes and I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks so, but, we'll see what everyone else posts after me.
Really wish you all the very best and sincerely hope you get this. Sure deserve it!
