They are not as bad as depicted here. At least not all of them.
I've met two of them ingame, one was Bravo and another one .005 I think. Both in fighters, equipped with Ageira ID and tag. They told me they're Ageira employees checking the lanes and fending off hackers (met one of them in Magellan, the other in Leeds so that would also be their ZoI). Seems like fine RP to me.
No idea about said capships, I'm hardly ever in NY anyways.
The Lane Security guys are from Cap spammers. They do have a few capships, and personally, I find it a bit illogical, but I don't see why Ageira can't afford them. They are nice guys, quite levelheaded. One of them was a trading buddy for a day.
As for the Ageira ID and tag, I actually recommended it to them. Their faction leader hasn't been here long enough to make LaneSecurity official, but seeing from what they've done with their RP, I'd say that they are definitely ready for a go here as an official faction.

Now if they could use those BHG caps to stop the phantoms from blowing up every trader and fighter in sig 13, that'd be amazing. Those capships are nasty, kicked the crap outta me. Thought I was just up against a bomber and wham, im dead.

Edit: To be fair, I dunno what kind of capship it was, might have been just a gunboat, but seems a tad large to have been one. Didnt even see it till i was already dead. I enjoyed the fight, but I'll have to remember to bring backup next time i go up against Phantoms.
Just to clear things up a bit... I am Lane_Secuity 003 and Lane_Security Bravo. Our main purpose is to patrol the Tradelanes throughout Sirius, protecting traders and civilians from pirates and criminals. We also assist local law enforcement and military forces whenever needed or called upon.
As for faction status, we are currently working on it together via e-mails...trying to get our facts and rules straight before submitting everything to the Admins. :rtfm:
Currently, the "00" numbers are mostly Cap Ships. The military callsigns ( Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc.) are fighters with nothing allowed higher than a gunboat.
The "00" group comes out to play occasionally, with one usually residing near Manhattan (very much needed the other day when a Rouge Battleship showed up). :cool:
We are currently in the act of getting our fighter squadron (Alpha, Bravo, etc.) together and organized, as this will be our main patrolling force. (Cap ships are fun, but cap whoring is something we are trying to avoid).
I am also working on organizing an event, perhaps a capship encounter in one of the 4 houses. (not sure yet)
If anyone out there has any questions, ideas, gripes, suggestions, or just wants to talk or is interested in joining, please PM me anytime, I'll be happy to respond quickly, as I'm either in-game or on the forums every day.:yahoo:
I hope all lawfuls enjoy some much-needed protection out there, and all pirates to get a chance to take one of us down in a blazing firefight. :D
I hope this sheds some light on Lane Security and what we're all about. Hope to hear from you soon...
You ask me why Im weary, why I cant speak to you.
You blame me for my silence, say Its time I changed and grew.
But the war's still going on dear, and theres no end that I know...
And I cant say if were ever...
I cant say if were ever gonna be free.
Nothing else to say really, was in manhatten twice, both times long enough to jump out and head to outcast or kusari space, so I don't know whats been going on in manhattan and I don't care either, no reason to go back there.
