First and foremost, why dont we let Firebird have his two cents before there are 80 friggin pages for him to go through. He's got a few things to respond to here if he so chooses.
Secondly, SF is not the only faction with dwindling membership and presence. There are quite a few of them actually. One reason being new factions being proposed and implimented every week. The entire spectrum of RP is pretty much covered at this point. All four houses are represented both lawfully and unlawfully. We have several corporate entities; lawful, unlawful and in-between. The border and outer worlds are very well covered.
Seriously, there is no apparent or visual need for anymore player factions on this server right now. Bretonia already has 3 for God's sake.

ON MY WAY OUT OF RETIREMENT
Commodore Andrew Stuart says, "I take this line of conversation to be a challenge to our heart and courage as Bretonians! I'll be in my Templar..."
On another front, QCP are a part of the QCO. That in itself was integration. I can't really see us joining with SF since we, to be honest, have much stricter rules that we don't want to water down, really.
Renaming is unnecessary, since QCO represent one wing of the BAF, under the unconventional Admiral Windsor. It doesn't represent the entirety of the BAF.
Also, we don't need more active Bretonian factions.... It's Kusari pilots that we need! The KNF's continual peace processes with NovaPG and SF have put a stunt in their growth.
Man, I agree with you on the subject of Kusari pilots...it just doesn't really feel like a war when you go out there and all there is to engage is NPC patrols.:(
Guys lancer just hit the nail on the head, SF is a bad name no offence but it just is, its got no affliation to Bretonia, i love the name QC but privateers deary me the queen would never have pirates royal guard maybe but not mercenarys, she would never affiliate herself with pirate mercs she just would not, it makes no sense at all.
It needs to be something like QCP Queen Carina Police and maybe the BAF Bretonia Armed Forces. But i think its wrong a clan named SF should have control of Bretonia, the Queen Carina should or Bretonians should, thats just my beef here. I think Queen Carina groups should unite under one QC banner and be security so internal stuff and then the BAF deal with outter rim of bretonian space and invading Kusari.
So they need to sort that out its really messed up as far as i see, I will await a BAF or QCP/QCS security or police. If not i hope someone does make a Bretonian faction and gains control of it cause its a confusing colony at the moment so i hope the other two clans can change roles/names to a more militarial efficient system, then maybe people would actually want to join.
Forgot to mention, get a forum please so you can put your story and role in detail these forums are hard to find backgrounds etc, a forum would go a long way for Bretonian clans works for RM check out there hot site and hot forum, maybe you should get in contact with them ask if one skilled member wants to come over to bretonian life and sort it all out to a presentable military colony not a rabble of pirates and people who are not 100% dedicated to Bretonia as they have connections with liberty. Its not much to ask for a military figure and a security figure in Bretonia with appropriate names works in liberty and rhineland dont it.

I think thats abit of a harsh reply as the only post in this thread that was saying "new faction" was the first,
everyone had already agreed that another faction is not needed.
From my point of view from what ive seen its only new players to discovery that are the ones bringing all these new ideas for factions up, not the people that visit here everyday.
Yes. The Queen would associate with Privateers. There is perfect historical precedent. They are members of the BAF that interdict enemy trade. It isn't piracy. Honest.
Not only is there historical precedent, there is also fair reasoning in Discovery too. The Bretonians are rumoured to have dealings with the Outcasts under the counter and the Kusari do have dealings with Corsairs. Plus, I'm not letting the Kusari economy get anywhere! Also, if you have interacted with any QCP in game, you will find us most certainly very Bretonian. WE just don't get out much since Kusari is rather quiet.
Now, you miss the QCO. They are a military force, without question. You seem to be missing that rather often, though.
Read the faction status thread, you'll find that QCO have already done what you're so ignorantly proclaiming.
