Well so far every GC I encountered was in a catamaran or BD HF, excluding one, Evie Knight. I can get the idea of the Eagle not feeling like a Kusari - like fighter, but it's basically the best the GC have, so I deal with it. I think the "Eagles can't compete with Chimaeras" argument is a bit funny though, because it's not true.
Also catamarans are OORP, but looking at the bugs from the Roc MKI, it's acceptable I guess, but I still fly a Roc for RP purposes. I see nothing wrong with a faction that has a limited amount of allied ships for those who've done an outstanding job or are high ranking. Fact is, it's a bit silly to critique someone else's RP when your best excuse is an Eagle can't do this...

Now, I am by no means a great pilot, so I don't see how an Eagle can't play its part against KNF in PVP terms, and as far as RP terms go it should've been predominantly Eagles in my opinion. So far the only agreeable point on GC usage of BD ships is from Jamez, who isn't making up his own facts to justify the use of the BD over the Eagle.
Though I believe the Blood Dragon is overpowered or has a massive infocard error, as it's labeled a Heavy fighter. Thing is it has four class 10 slots, and a class 10 shield, while the armor is fine, and the Eagle plant ( I think) which would also be fine for a more power Heavy Fighter.
That's pretty much my only gripe with the GC, since as far as I know atleast none are trying to RP males.
