Faction Standings - Grumblesaur - 01-24-2009
' Wrote:As it stands now, the CR has been involved in an incident where BAF attacked us in Tau 31, and also in few others where BAF Privateers cooperated with GC in the destruction of CR traders.
We are now back to hostile with BAF, but IMG is under orders from it's leadership not to interfere, so that will earn them brownie points with Bretonia.
And as for tau 37, in game rumors, Outcasts do not even know where Falkland is exactly.
And the combined force of IMG and CR is both in RP and reality capable of defending it.
I hope you're right about that.

' Wrote:Well, as I've read in a post regarding the CR, it stated it as being much like the IMG's unofficial military, though not completely linked. It'd involve quite a bit of tension, as the IMG are just tolerated in Bretonia.
That was one characterization of our relationship, and it is not really correct. The tension is till possible, though I'd say IMG is a step above "just tolerated." But only one step...
' Wrote:IMG is underestimated. It's almost a house in and of itself with the ships and bases it owns. The only problem is, is that it's spread out in unfriendly territory. If the CR has a full-out war with Bretonia, or IMG allies with Kusari, the IMG infrastructure in Bretonia will be shredded.
But then, that's where Gateway and Planetform, which are two large Bretonian factions, come in. They can make negotiations. IMG might be the solution to the war. And being that important solution, they're like the trainer holding a biscuit over two dogs constantly fighting.
Though considering IMG has connections [and members] from Rheinland, Kusari, and Bretonia, it could easily hold its own. The only weak points are its extremes, Omega-7, Tau-37, and Dublin. Though Dublin isn't a major threat area, as they are neutral to Mollies and BMM lacks the firepower and backing to take on such a large faction.
We don't own the fleets you seem to think we do, especially considered separately from CR, which we should be. Also, Gateway and Planetform are allies, but Gateway is not really a large company. I think you overstate IMG's strategic position.
Oh, and BMM is a nationalized company; it's firepower is the Bretonian Armed Forces.

There may not be Albatross patrols flying around, but if IMG needs the firepower, it can build it.
Gateway, although not as large as BoWEx or Interspace Commerce, still has the ships to haul large amounts of cargo.
