Corsairs attacking liberty...

[Virus]

This is what I mean, and Praetyre hit it on the head.

Players RPing with Liberty Navy, or any other FL Faction IDs and Tags are not independents. If they want to RP as members of these factions, they must join the existing player faction for the corresponding FL Faction. In fact, the reason these players remain "independent" is because of several of these reasons:

-They don't want to RP a command structure.
-They want to fly capships.

Frankly, if you are going to join a military, rule one is going to exist at all times. The 2nd part, I think that everyone can agree that it will be good.

Now, independents are persons wearing generic IDs. Those people have free reign. If persons don't want to be part of a command structure, etc... they need to use the generic IDs.

I believe that this is the only reason players don't join the RM and instead become independents. I've been asked if they can join RM, but as soon as I mention that would be forced to start off in a fighter and work their way up... They lose interest.
