To be frank with you, I have a hunch that a lot of the so-called indies that troll around are otherwise faction players that take a break from responsibility and thinks it is within reason "because that's what indies do anyway" <- can't prove that though, just a hunch.
That is easily possible, but I had experiences with indies I tried to guide and warn of the possible inRP issues of his actions. And getting totally ignored is a bad feeling.

Nope, why, can you?

Then you can guess with decent accuracy why I trust the zoners of Baffin.

I liked that TAZ. All I am saying is pls be extremely careful that you don't throw all that over board - it's my opinion that the TAZ of 4.86 is far from what it was pre-4.86, that's sad, and I think bases are a big contributor to that.
Bases tend to be a big contributor to massive ooRP all around the server with their lack of regulations, if they are at least inRP stuff to a degree, that's the better case. You know there are way worse examples than TAZ bases.
Another thing is that I fear it's not only bases, but certain recent events could easily cripple TAZ, judgements which I personally find questionable. Past weeks about three or four TAZ member left DiscoGC, and even the remaining ones aren't as inactive as they had been. This faction would certainly require a bit more love at the moment.
