I'm posting from my phone, so excuse any typos on my part. I just wanted to address a few things. The transports were used OORPly to establish the base, and to guard against possible malicious attempts to locate it when it was at its weakest. This began long before there was a "war" with the DSE. Also, funny thing that, @Altejago .
How you managed to misinterpret our transmission that stated that we're simply stopping negotiations and returning to the old, you trader me pirate schtick as a declaration of war is beyond me. And then proceeding to overreact to the extreme with an actual declaration of war in the form of juicy, 10 mio bounties. I think this speaks volumes of your own character, not ours. But stil, completely legitimate, and I think we responded in equal measure as befitting of our RP as antagonists.
Let's get back to the transports, however. I understand your concerns about this, and I concede that it is bad form on our part. And as our dear friend's vindictive venting here has made them obsolete, we will replace them with tagged OC transports. We will also incorporate the base fully into our RP, something we hesitated to do, due to the reasons previously stated.
See the thing is, @Chrysalis, it's the translation of oorp into inrp that you guys seem to be avoiding explaining. We responded to a threat inrp that was done due to oorp actions. First Lerdi contacts me about doing Rp, as a friend, we discuss and agree to a planned course that suited both our groups direction. Then because of a lapse in remembering to pay an agreed sum, we dispelled a member who was a problem maker who then joins Commune, with in a matter of days we get pirated $10m each time or made to drop fwo and then Commune completely cut ties with no reasoning. So as we started this idea to work together as friends, it then turned into something sinister with out an oorp chat about it.
You know full well I lead a faction of new players who barely know how to trade let alone fight, yet as soon as a DSE) logged, you guys logged your liberty vessels and deliberately chased us for the sole purpose of grieving. I can provide one of several documented encounters like that that was submitted in a report. That was just me logging for the first time that week and within half an hour three of your members including Lerdi log in, /return from Conn, log in at Bering, Texas and New York and fly all the way to us in Alberta. We then switch to our Kansas operations and those same three members go south to Kansas.
I didn't realise the sole point of Commune were to log to target DSE). I believe that's the Lane Hackers job. You go on about it being your role play, but how do you justify Nomad Worshippers that log simply to hit Liberty traders, in Liberty. No where in your faction information does it state that the commune's role play is out right piracy, let alone singularly targeting a corporation like it was your arch nemesis. Do you do that because your actual enemies are better at the game than you so you target hapless traders?
Or is it because you're fired up on the hate speech that gets propagated and you all follow like sheep?
This, coupled with the fact you used NPC DSE ships to build your own base and your hate for another DSE group seems to me that you guys don't actually know what it is you want. You want to bad ass pirates or do you want to be a nomad following cult?
So please criticise how I dealt with things, but never once did I go oorp with reactions. Yeah, we were paying a good sum of money for others to shoot you, paying what we were getting pirated by you, we are a filthy rich corporation who can afford that, even more. So what I get out of this is that you're butthurt because my inrp reaction bruised your oorp ego and as such you find it satisfactory to bend the direction of your faction to exact unwarranted revenge.
We either live in completely different realities or there is some buggery afoot. Specifically the part where you were pirated and made to drop fow before the transmissions and bounties. Are you sure? Can I have some names and screens that confirm this in PM?
Other than that, part of our goals is to destabilize the houses, piracy, drug pushing and just making trouble is how we go about it. Nomad worship doesn't equal peaceful sages in our case.
I'm curious to know if that rather oorp issue of using DSE ID'd transports to supply the communes POB has been fixed yet... you know, now that you have the commune ID and all. If not it's rather poor play on the commune's part since there are enemies in the omicrons that would happily engage the Commune's transport ships and try and cut off their supply lines.
This isnt a super big deal, but the whole "i just bought it from the vendor" RP is honestly kind of poor and if taken to extremes can lead to Freelancer ID'd Bret / Rhein / Liberty gunboats simply flying around.

Hello, thank you for your feedback and criticism. We didn't had some for a while now.
I must say I'm a bit sad because of your concern, as our group and mostly, I, enforce things very close to "realm" even if it's just a game. But yeah. However, you might not be the only one having this concern, so this is a good thing to explain it;
It all begun with us, obtaining the Nomad Prototype (2.22 refire rate) from Das Wilde, that is documented here. After that, the RP was sitting since we had some other projects that we've worked on. Basically, we were waiting for the new person to join Terminus cell, so we could dedicate someone fresh and new to it, who'd like to have opportunity to participate like other members of said cell.
Then, @Mushy joined us and we decided that he could be in Terminus. He expressed how he'd like to work on some gun technology and we dedicated him to his Prototype RP.
The point of that RP thread and a first stage of it is to fully develop technology that is, being used by House Intelligence Agencies, Order, Core and the Wild. Those would be Adapted Nomad Blasters and Cannons, very bad guns but we saw good opportunity to further develop our own technology based on those.
Thus, I told Mush to do it step by step and add a dose of realm into it. So, he went to Relay Zeta and requested specific gun types to be delivered to him so he could experiment with them, and adapt them to the technology that the Prototype itself offers. That is why those guns were needed, to come up to Adapted Nomad Blasters and Cannons. In the Mush's request, it's stated what would those serve for.
Now, if you even have concerns about Commune, all of sudden cracking the code of Hybrid technology, that won't as well happen. It is planned that in the next stage of Mushy's RP we come in front of some specific difficulties that will result in Das Wilde scientist RP-ed by someone from Das Wilde to come along with us and aid us on that matter.
