1. Name of Official Faction requesting the Perk: Kusari Naval Forces - [KNF]
2. Date of last Perk request: Must have been a year or so, really been long. Sorry, don't recall when.
3. Type of Perk:
Under FR 15 - "Official Factions may submit a custom texture for an existing ship for their own exclusive use. This could include a stylized version of an existing texture, or a texture featuring the Official Faction’s logo / livery. Submissions may be rejected by developers on quality or suitability grounds." - Seeing as there is an incredibly easy way for us to do this with already existing assets, we would like to make the Tora, Kaibyo and Neko Kusari Exiles snubs purchasable for the [KNF] ID from a sellpoint you deem most suitable (I would suggest either from Kure Shipyard or the Battleship Hamamatsu in New Tokyo)
4. How will this Perk be used?
It will be used to establish a new sub-division of fighter wings that represents mobilized veterans and conscripts, as a showcase of Kusari desperately trying to muster as many forces as possible, to the point of touching a decade old stockpiles, before the confrontation with Liberty goes from a cold war to a hot one. ooRP this division will aim at creating an entry level for lower skilled pvpers into the lawful-unlawful gameplay loop, but it would be very cool to be able to set it apart through literally utilizing old ships over the other divisions first.
5. Describe the RP leading up to this Perk Request. (If you provide RP links, please give a brief description of what we are looking at.)

Request approved and implemented, pending patch.
Ships will be sold on the Battleship Nagasaki, and locked exclusively to the [KNF] ID, for exclusive use by [KNF] members.
If new copies of these ships appear outside [KNF] hands, the right will be revoked and the ships deleted and the sale point removed.
EDIT: existing copies of these ships aren't affected by the above, you can continue to use grandfathered versions that were acquired in the past. We can tell which ones are newly created.
