I rather this thing stays dead. I'll also remind you of this:

To reiterate on the point, I find it a little weird how - after you and I sat down to discuss the future of interaction between factions (which ended on a positive note) - your disposition suddenly changed over a question about clarification.
I'm not asking you to suddenly stop your roleplay, I'm asking you to specify how the Commune is going to successfully land on a planet occupied by one of their enemies, in a system occupied by three of their enemies, undetected, long enough to loot the remains of a base.
Alley also brings up a good point. Be that as it may, I'm simply asking for clarification.
1. Your guys just circling around the miners in Penny, trying to chat them up. You know, the "We just wanna talk and drink" kind of RP, even with police around. Penny is pretty much the only* place I meet the Commune. You're there quite often and I have no idea why, as showing off your shiny ships to the newbies there and other traders, and cruising around to avoid conflict when the cops show up is "meh" at best.
2. *One exception is NY. I was in a Pirate Transport, fighting off a Navy Corvo, when one of your guys (Jack something, I think, can check logs) just drops out of the lane, sends me a group invite which I don't respond to as I'm Pirate ID, says "assisting friendly" or something like that and starts shooting at the Corvo as well. There was literally zero effort put into that.
All in all, I haven't seen anything that contributes to the in game roleplay environment from you. Not yet, at least. I understand you have some forum RP in place, but eh, in game it's like you don't exist. When I see you guys, I just don't care what you are (The Commune, Outcasts, etc). Your RP is so bland that I just see you as "generic hostiles". You're the first faction that makes me feel like that. Even the random LNSs in New York make me think once or twice about how I approach a situation. I won't comment on the forum RP as I have not read it and probably won't anyway, as I have no interest and it has zero relevance to the way you conduct yourselves in game.
Based on my experience with you guys so far, I can't see any reason for you to become official.

Please note that this comm isn't actually related to Aux, and I wanted to point that out because the forum account was literally recycled.

That would be my mistake then.
Edit: Here's what I could dig up after a very brief search.

So uh hey, this recently just happened but if Commune were distrusted by the AI, would they not land on their stations?
This individual had a cargo hold full of Pharmaceuticals and I noticed him cruise off to Gammu's general direction - anti clockwise of the sun - and returned back to Cornith, as I went there to dock and saw he didn't dock here, with his cargo now containing Robotic Hardware instead of the previous goods - as said cargo is sold there, I also noticed he didn't really leave the system either.
I don't think it's good to land on AI stations despite being told to keep away from their places hours before, just pointing this out.
Also you probably want to update the diplomacy sheet, as Aux isn't listed as hostile either, Oracles aren't on there. Or the Vagrants.

You talk about "RP logic" but you don't think do your acts have some "logic"? Like, how you inRP knew of that? Asking OOC-ly doesen't justifies your acts though.
Nobody asked me really if I wanted that to happen. But they asked Foxglove. (against whom, I don't have anything bad to think regarding that)
We didn't ask. We were offered to interrupt a deal that was taking place in a system we used to base from. I'm pretty sure I clarified that for you already.
To reiterate the point of the original question however, it would be extremely unlikely for you to successfully conduct an operation on Wichita without us or the Legion catching wind, more-so the former as we've got an outpost planetside. Frankly, I don't have a problem with what you choose to do, but it will raise questions and those questions need to be asked at one point or another.
I'm not going to compare it to someone attempting to infiltrate Alaska or land on Schatten undetected, because it isn't the same thing or remotely close, but there is still that element of people - hostile people - operating in that area, that while you've been interrogating traffic for (which is pretty smart to do, by the way) won't yield a lot of answers, especially not for instance the location of our outpost there.
Now I'm acutely aware that this isn't what you're after, but what my concern and @"Auzari"'s concern is - would you/will you actively take into consideration the significant presence of people the Commune is effectively at war with being in the area? Additionally, how to you expect to successfully approach a location that's heavily monitored for traffic due to the faction operating the outpost (us) being extremely paranoid about the last time they were operating there? (Read the lore for reference of 'last time')
I dont want tl be too involved in feedback threads but you and Auzuri are both speaking ss if Auxesia had a NPC faction in the system and there is more of you inrp than there actually is which could also be seen as powergamey. Having claims without anything to back your claims up is weak but thank you for the feedback.
