Faction Status Report
Rheinland Federal Polizei - RFP|

Provide a brief summary of what your faction has done this month
Ingame regular patrols with usual stuff such as protecting/escorting some traders, fights with unlawfuls, catching smugglers and generally enforcing the laws. On forums quite a lot of administrative related mainly to new POBs.

What roleplay has your faction been involved in?
1. A lot of paperwork in the Outpost registry - issued permission for construction of Solitaire Metropolis POB, talked repeatedly with BHG indies which wants to construct Valkyrie Outpost POB and also with Zoner group which built Geneva Shipping Platform and Geneva Defense Platform, which also requested permission for construction of weapon platforms.
2. Replied to message from BMF about threatening message from some Hessians.
3. Replied to message from Solitaire Metropolis owner about security concerns of DSE in Rheinland and because it turned out that the planned contract would violate laws regarding restricted cargo, law violation was avoided.
4. Started processing of Kruger´s application for permission for use of jumpdrives in the Extraordinary equipment registry.
5. Processed request of Solitaire Metropolis POB owner for permission for construction of weapon platform.
6. Replied to individual inquiry regarding possible assistance of RFP with flights through Sigma-13 after ship was banned by GMG.
7. Replied to Bowex request for Restricted cargo license.
8. Made monthly service announcement about activity awards and also coffee rations for everyone.
9. Our new kadett had really busy patrol which he summed up in the message dump report.

Is your faction experiencing problems the community could help with?
We are still low activity faction so new members are always welcome.

Are there any outstanding requests linked to your faction?
1. Faction ID icon implementation (file sent to Alley some time ago).
EDIT: Alley said it is already implemented and just waiting for patch with which it will be added.
2. Still waiting for fixes of restarts. RFP restart still spawns on base in Bremen what is quite uncomfortable, Ageira restart is still giving nodock rep on RFP bases what should be fixed already as it is not connected in any way to peace negotiations, Ageira never should have been nodocked at all as there was no reason for that.
3. Related to reputations issue - request for recreation of rephack change request thread was made in leaders section some time ago and fully supported even by one of the admins.
4. I submitted request for new "Newcomer from Nuremberg" commodity on behalf of Rheinland factions (it is meant not only for lawfuls and corps, but also for unlawfuls, mainly VWA). I noticed that passangers commodity was changed (Nuremberg no longer accept it and Rheinland planets do) but I think this is RP item which deserves to be separate commodity.

Is there anything you would like to add?
If I could have more time for planned RFP stuff, that would be great...

[Bounty Hunters Guild]

Faction Status Report
Bounty Hunters Guild - BHG|

Provide a brief summary of what your faction has done this month
Individual RP, a few smaller scale escort contacts between random corporate players found flying around. For the most part just standard bounty hunting.

What roleplay has your faction been involved in?
Bounty claims, almost entirely on the Liberty bounty board.

Is your faction experiencing problems the community could help with?
Somewhat, since there is often a lack of time to RP during engagements and beforehand due to most people attempting to run away from BHG's combat prowess as soon as they are encountered. The problem is that currently two of the larger groups we typically did escort for (Bowex and DHC) are inactive, which means we end up doing little more than joining existing fights at the moment. BMM- as well, another popular escort choice is suffering its own activity crisis. If the community could either attempt to incorporate BHG into their larger convoys, it would be very much appreciated.

Are there any outstanding requests linked to your faction?
None.

Is there anything you would like to add?
Nein.

[Char Aznable]

Faction Status Report
Dai 343 Kaigun Kokutai - {343}

Provide a brief summary of what your faction has done this month
We've not done much. Most of our patrols were in ending in the usual fights with the KNF, we had a short run-in with a slaver and there was a small event that was a big letdown for our side.

What roleplay has your faction been involved in?
See above

Is your faction experiencing problems the community could help with?
Yes. The past few months have hit 343 heavily, and with many of our members getting frustrated with the state of affairs, we've lost a great deal of activity due to people moving on to other projects. What we need are interested people who see the possibility of Roleplay development inside a military faction that does not primarily focus on winning PvP-Engagements.

Are there any outstanding requests linked to your faction?
No. But you could finally fix the ZOI on both official and NPC ID, the new ZOI is still not in, even if the update that made it necessary happened two months ago.

Is there anything you would like to add?
Yes. As you might have noticed, many people have written far less than in the first report, and I can only reinforce every point made in the JM| report. Statements and transparency are lacking heavily here.

Faction Status Report
Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee Bundschuh - VWA|

Provide a brief summary of what your faction has done this month
The usual; patrols, brief skirmishes, defensive action, and smuggling - Our roleplay has grown a little "internal" in the past several months due to a somewhat-inactive Rheinland.

What roleplay has your faction been involved in?
This "reference" flavor RP thing that I want to get to when I find the time/inspiration.

Kemwer Munitions.

"Extortion".

Is your faction experiencing problems the community could help with?
Chronic Inactivity as usual, mostly. Due to the busy RL schedules of our members, we tend to come and go in waves throughout a given month of activity.

Are there any outstanding requests linked to your faction?

4. I submitted request for new "Newcomer from Nuremberg" commodity on behalf of Rheinland factions (it is meant not only for lawfuls and corps, but also for unlawfuls, mainly VWA). I noticed that passangers commodity was changed (Nuremberg no longer accept it and Rheinland planets do) but I think this is RP item which deserves to be separate commodity.

Is there anything you would like to add?
Recently a number of Rheinland Lawfuls have been camping our area in Frankfurt because they know that several of our members aren't combat aces; the knowledge that we're probably going to be losing every fight we get ourselves into has slightly dulled the VWA-membership's desire to log on, for fear of the exact same people/characters hunting us down across several systems and winning another snub-brawl.

Faction Status Report
Krüger Mineralien - Kruger|

Provide a brief summary of what your faction has done this month
Pretty much the same as last months report. We mine, trade and have fights. A bit of corporate warfare and fun with the hessians in and around Rheinland.

What roleplay has your faction been involved in?

A request to use jumpdrives within the Rheinland territory.
A supply contract for Solitaire Metropolis for 40.000 cobalt ore.
A supply contract for the Genova shipping platform, it was a shame the base was destroyed prior us to finish it
Found the newly secret base location of the Genova Shipping platform
Went into their distress signal and saved their base
The thanks of the Genova shipping platform owner for the saviors of their base.



Is your faction experiencing problems the community could help with?
Since the last report nothing more to add here for now.

Are there any outstanding requests linked to your faction?
Nothing atm, only about the faction progress that was sent in to echo and the small change on our id about BMM being added back into the Faction and plain Kruger id.

Is there anything you would like to add?
Kruger has to krieg!

Faction Status Report
Gateway Shipping - Gateway|

Provide a brief summary of what your faction has done this month
Lots and lots of trading. There was a bit of a hostility incident with a PoB, but that was solved and we now supply the PoB. Ore runs to fill our own PoB.

What roleplay has your faction been involved in?
Other than the incident mentioned above and a few delivery threads, there hasn't been much forum activity from us last month.

Is your faction experiencing problems the community could help with?
No.

Are there any outstanding requests linked to your faction?
Not right now.

Is there anything you would like to add?
No.

Faction Status Report
Crayter Republic - CR|

Provide a brief summary of what your faction has done this month
Activity has been mainly stable and mainstream, including Tau fights, pirate hunting in Coronado and trading for our Movers. We have had a few interesting role-plays though, starring Gateway, SCRA and other random folks.

What roleplay has your faction been involved in?
Latest military MDs show how our members, both old and new have been keeping themselves busy.

SCRA meeting - not much to see, it was mainly an in-game thing.

Gateway dealings, which are still on-going for some "tech exchange".
Mover transport contract, Gateway-related.

Extras #1 (some "newcomers" in Coronado)
Extras #2 (related to a fugitive)

Is your faction experiencing problems the community could help with?
Nothing major - so we're good for now.

Are there any outstanding requests linked to your faction?
Well - I was assured that the Yuma colonisation will be implemented in the upcoming updates, so it'll become dockable [and an actual trading point + equipment/ships there].
There's also the issue of our reputation with Daumann, which should now allow us to dock on their stations, but it still doesn't. Relevant RP here. (I'll post a request for it if it'll be necessary. I'm not yet sure if one was posted already.)

Other than this, we're good.

Is there anything you would like to add?
We've recently changed leadership [again...] and things will hopefully improve, slowly but steadily. This report isn't as thorough as it should be since we're still in the process of internal organisation.
(The Yuma RP has been halted until now but we are resuming it.)

What roleplay has your faction been involved in?

No

Faction Status Report
Gallic Royal Navy - GRN|

Provide a brief summary of what your faction has done this month
Flying in the Taus, Leeds and Magellan and shooting stuff. A bit of poking around in the 44-Tottori-Rishiri corridor, with a view towards evaluating the corridor's use towards 'circularizing' Gallia.

What roleplay has your faction been involved in?
See above.

Is your faction experiencing problems the community could help with?
Nothing I haven't already mentioned. I myself am a problem, I suppose - being only marginally more active and motivated than @Miaou was. Part of this is due to the crippling inactivity feeding into the faction's opportunities in the Taus and beyond, and part of it is stemming from a dwindling playerbase both within the faction itself and Gallia as a whole.

Are there any outstanding requests linked to your faction?
None that I've submitted. If any existed before I took over, I don't know about them.

Is there anything you would like to add?
No.
