Actually, I think that's a splendid idea. The QCP and QCO can keep their names, as they're not the sort of force one would expect of the "BAF" tag. And the SF could be renamed to represent what it already is. Lots of others would need to approve the idea, of course, but I think it would be a good change.

that would make more sense.
SF renamed to BAF (SF stands for Sirius Federation, which doesn't say Bretonia to me)
SA renamed to LN (SA stands for South Alliance, there again doesn't jump out as screaming Liberty)

The [SF].

Yes.

Ya, it's true. Most of the new players you see coming around want to be the bad guy, want to PvP, ect. This is normal really. We were all like that when we joined up. What I try to do, and so do a lot of other players, is sit in New York and try to point new players to some of the lawful factions like the SF and KNF. It works every now and then, but some people are just to stubborn.
EDIT: Also, all the ideas about renaming the Bretonian factions is cool and all. But wait for Blunt, Unselie, and Firebird to take a look at this before starting to make a move.
Maybe this thread is, in some sense, related to the also recent Praetyre thread (Praetyre's inquiries). Perhaps, with someone taking the role of the Queen and of the Emperor, the factions will start to align themselves more visibly towards a common orientation (note I said "visibly").
Maybe in the future we could get, and this is only a suggestion, characters openly wearing the colors of the BAF while keeping their mutual independences as different factions. Something like:
[BAF]pilotsname[QCO]
OR
[SF]pilotsname[BAF] (in both cases the factions keeping their structures but openly aligning themselves with the NPC faction)
OR (but I somewhat seriously doubt the merging of stablished factions as a good idea)
[BAF]pilotsname (with all the members of the united factions)
My personal opinion, and preferred admin stance would be to make the existing ones stronger please, before
yet another faction appears on the radar. Time zones with players can make certain ones look inactive.
Roleplay scenarios are pretty damn good as they are currently, be confusing to say the least, adding another
faction for the newer players to have to take notice of in house space.
Hoodlum
Some say he is a proud member of: "The most paranoid group of people in the Community."
irregardless of how the SF started, now they are mostly defunct, and short on members.
now, the QCO is frequently active, and engages enemies of the crown with full RP
as for ogranisation...
we have a more active command then the RM, or the SCRA, or SA...
we also have real lives.
so, excuse me If you don't often see the Pendragon, or sam on.
I have 3 Term papers due this month, and am quite busy.
and I still get on every night, because I owe that to the faction.
now.
it is mostly a faction of ensigns.
because it is brand new, and no one has had much of a chance to distingush themselves as great leaders.
the QCP isn't horribly active, because Kusari isn't the best place to pirate.
and they don't go anywhere else.
and, another thing.
almost every little bit of RP for my faction, I have had to arrange.
I have had to call phantoms, or SCRA, or pm the KNF..
and ask them to attack.
because otherwise, my pilots sit around and get bored.
Let me remind you.
The QCwhatever are NOT police.
we don't care.
you can move whatever you want through bretonia, that's the SF's job..we may tell them, or help them not get killed, but, when we see a drug dealer, we call the cops.
not our job.
about combining factions.
no.
one is firebirds, one is blunts, and one is mine.
and we have seperate ideas about how the RP should be done.
my personal Idea?
you had better have a UKish name, a Bret ship, bret guns.
among other things, we are not the same faction.
at all.
last time I checked, SF was at peace with KNF and UoG.
we are not.
at all.
(aside from one incident which I regret I could not stay on long enough to rectify.)
as for the Queen....I hardly think she runs her military.
I often allude to the Admiralty..
who, in my RP, drafted the QCO to work outside the classic motives of the BAF.
and...what is the purpose of the LSF, dreygon?
the QCO's purpose is to A: encourage RP in bretonia/kusari
B: help acclimate new players to the server.
C: assault enemies of the crown.
now, this is SF policy on Hostiles
Hostile - Faction known or expected to attack SF members, if in Cambridge immediately order them to leave the system or they will be fired upon. (Ex. Pirates)
so.....they ask them to leave Cambridge.....doesn't even mention the rest of their zoi.....
and, yeah.
SF are bret police.
they really are.
no offense meant, firebird, but, you want me to see you as a military, act like one.
They used to be Sirius police, hence the name.
they are peacekeepers.
really helpful when your nation is being invaded.
