Also, about this faction money debate. I'll just shed some light on how I see it, seeing as I manage all of Bowex's funds.
As soon as you take your personal funds off your own personal accounts and put it on a faction bank, you no longer own that money. It becomes the joint property of the faction. That doesn't mean the faction as a whole gets to decide what it's spent on, of course - that's the prerogative of the leadership. It does mean that if you leave, you can't just check it out and elope with it though.
At least, that's my opinion.
As for the cross-faction money sharing, I think Arthur means that IC| funds FIST OORP for setting up, because closed economy mercs aren't fun unless you're into that sort of thing. Probably in much the same way as you fund your Corsairs with your IND, Zelot. That doesn't mean the Brotherhood is a subfaction of the IND.
EDIT: You're really not giving many constructive replies, Arthur... ¬_¬
