From what I've seen so far the 101st have absolutely no control over Outcast capital ships, and I've been here for quite some time. It will remain private due to the fact that it's not particularly nice to reject someone publicly, its caused many problems before with people retaliating or spawning hatred for Liberty or LN or whatnot. Also Eternal, that was done with the registry, and it didn't work. I'm afraid that posting publicly gets people nowhere, and its harder to keep up with who's been allowed or not. If it's private, it will be a lot easier to keep track of these things. Teaching the indies doesn't work, I've done that for ages, sure some turned out great, and helpful. But most of them just keep doing what they do best, pvp whore. Now, I'm not saying official factions dont pvp whore as well, but I have ways of punishing and regulating that. Now I have the same thing for indies.
