As the applications for GRN opened up, I knew that if I had to join a military faction, the Gallic Royal Navy would be the one. After filling the application, I jumped into my new character and took a trip to Gallia. In a starflea.
Needless to say, hours and hours of frustration followed, trying to figure out how to gain a good standing with the GRN npcs, and getting my dumb little fighter blown up every 5 minutes by some random patrol.
Today, I'm not getting shot at by them anymore, since I gained a neutral standing, so I feel extremely happy (though I still need to raise my rep). All that suffering made it feel like a bigger accomplishment. :D
