haha, i think the BHG shouldn t have a "council" like the zoners. i can imagine zoners being dramaqueens much. every zoner has his/her own thoughts and ideas - and there is a lot more talk than actions.
but the BHG needs a strong leadership, maybe even an iron fist to lead them. the hunters are a highly efficient warmachine, - if the guild decided to wage war against someone they can make their life quite miserable. ( considering they are currently fighting both, outcasts, corsairs and every other pirate faction + make deep space nomad missions ..... and even so they are sitting allmost in front of crete / malta )
maybe someone will some time start a real BHG faction with a strong leadership ... we shall see.

Agreed, I can imagine a fat, middle-aged man in a cowboy hat that smokes cigars rolled in $1000 notes being in charge, with a strong accent, obviously.
He might be eccentric, but he'd be a damn good businessman.
hear is a bit of relief. ICO thanks to the miraculous lack of support by the houses is about to take up the mantel of the BHG officially. we will become the personification of the BHG much like the LSF representing the LSF or the SA representing the Liberty navy. maby this will assist in providing the appearance of a bit more organization to the rest of the factions. unforthanitly this also means we got to drop all are non BHG tech that we acquired as mercenaries. (my precious arwing. noooo.)
it is easy to see how we would be disliked. I mean by server rules we have all the same policing rights as the houses, we can operate everywhere in sires, we don't have to be as nice as the police, (witch dose wonders for are image mind you.) and we get the right to collect on lawful bounties. (witch days of thunder was not)
pirets and smugglers hate us because we can more or less KOS them with no territory bounders, granted we still have to ask the smuggler to drop his cargo witch waists valuable time, and the houses disapprove of us because we can go over the head most of the tim, in edition we are granted the right to use nomad tech and salveged weapions of all the unlawful houses. now yes we have to act like a lawful force subservient to the house military, such as we cant grant passage of a trespassers, but now can the houses just blatantly order us around either. such as telling us not to attack somebody and mind are business in the face of bounties or hostel forces. thus they tend to see the BHG as loose cannons, uncontrollable.
in the end the BHG id has a lot of power and this is why it is hated. it really cuts around a lot of the red tape the police has to deal with. this means that those that bare the id need to act responsibly, and lawfully. we cant let the smugglers and the pirets say we have no right police them, but we cant just be acting as blatant pirets either. we are more then just head hunters. we by are id are a independent police force not under the control of any one house. this is a lot of power and it should be used responsibly.
If I die bury me with a rocket luancher, and a shotgun. I am going to have some house cleaning to do.
Happened to me once. I only tried to prevent contraband once though. Being (RP) an ex cop myself and a postive hero too, I decided to ask this fellow to drop his so called cargo off board, he refused and told me that I have no rights to ask for that, while chasing the smuggler. Then I thought that perhaps he was right and I didnt have the right to ask him to stop. So I just RPed some more and it ended by he giving me a bribe for silence. Didnt really knew if what I did was legal, so I took it.
what make me not happy is that many of people use bh id to have right to fly in bs or battlecruiser.i know that is all in rules,but really is needed that from 10 bh are 8 in battlecruisers or bigger?(and its really funny to see 3bh battlecruisers on way from minor to gamma without any fighter escort).i know that bh need some big ships again pirates big ships or to collect bounty for them but so many?when my smuggler was hunted by bh one time i was hutned by bomber and that was what i like,nice rp from him and try to stop me(he hunt me trouggh half of new york.) second time bh type only junker,and open fire.nothing more.(2 kusari destroyers)
so my personal opinion is that bh are brutal pirates that try to be lawfull.but that is only my opinion.
hay it enshures payment, and in the end that is all the justafacation meny a BH needs. the BH are brutle and is comprised largly of ex pirets. so ther actions tend to reflect.
