Thanks all for your feedback, we are changing so it's always good to hear.
As to the reason why we are hostile to the Molly's: far too many times has a JG vessel been targeted by a Molly ship. Far too many times have they entered and pillage Omega 49. We will not stand for it any longer, and will kill all those that enter into our scanning range.
To those who don't think we are changing: There's been a lot of complaints about the huge variety of weapons and ships we use, as well as the Mercenary issue. We will no longer be using any weapons that are not Civilian, Code or Zoner. The Benitez are limiting (and rightly so) the purchase of Corsair weapons, probably to low level weapons anyway. Instead of running amok with basically any ship that suits us at the time, we will be strictly enforcing the above list - we have narrowed down bombers we have used in the past, various fighters and are currently in the process of switching our Battleships to ones that the Zoners sell. I think that by no longer doing the bounty contracts, or the work associated with being a shady mercenary, the issues regarding our diplomacy will be easier to manage. As we are becoming more Zoner orientated, the issues that affect the Zoners will directly influence our diplomacy - very different to before. All in all, I can see a lot of changes here, how is this the same to what we were before?
When 4.85 comes out, we will be able to limit our ship choices even further. This however, will be assessed when it actually does come out.
As to owning Omega 49 - we didn't think that one through well enough, and have reached an agreement with the Zoner council not to buy it, but to defend it better. We are looking for a new system however, any ideas? We're thinking Omega 50 or Theta?
In regards to more personal replies:
killhappyfool - there is no way that will happen anymore, our movements will be limited to places a Zoner can roam free - unless of course war dictates otherwise. If you could PM me the name of the member who did this, I will get onto it.
Dusty Lens - when I get some time to, definitely! You might want to think about changing that sig of yours as well ;)Our use of Corsair weapons is limited as it is, and using them in Liberty space is another hurdle that we must jump.
Theaxare - JG members may use Tiger Sharks after they become full members, although we encourage them to get a Raven's Talon or start trading. You are right in that the ship we are referring to is the one on the Raven's Bomber. The BW Transport is probably the trader we will end up using, although the Firefly and Drom are on the tables. We think that taking a leaf out of the vanilla version will do us some good (2 eagles escorting a drom to crete with food).
Koolmo - refer to the PM I'm sending you right now:)
