Emergency Defense Group Enterprise

[Montezuma/Kukulcan]

To Govedo (concerning application to become official faction): Most of the points have been already made. We want to be independent from the BHG and especially the Core. We want to be able to shape our diplomatic relations by ourselves. We obviously also want officialdom due to our vanity. And there is another really important thing. As far as we were told in 4.86 ID changes will effectively cut us from BHG capital ships. This will mean that EDGE will need to cut EDG from its name. We obviously don't want this to happen.

Then you want to be using the Merc ID, the BHG| and BHG|Core set the diplomacy for the BHG/Core ID as the representative official faction.

Also, you would still probably be able to maintain the lawful PMC look with the Merc ID simply by using BHG ships and guns, and working exclusively for lawful groups. The ID is just one of the factors that govern your public image, RP, ships, guns, diplomatic alignment and others all have a much greater impact on how you're seen as a faction.


EDIT: One other thing, if you were going to use the Merc ID, you'd probably need to SRP the use of caps BEFORE requesting official status, otherwise you cant really say "But they're on our list of used ships" when you can't actually use them.
