Well if we are all in the same faction and within the same few systems it wouldn't be considered metagaming would it? Most ships have communication devices don't they? And in a military confrontation numbers mean something, that being said we are all relatively new, so it shouldn't be hard to take us out if a confrontation comes about.
That being said our clan is all about fair play and promoting a positive gaming experience and any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Our clan uses xfire and team speak. We could all download Skype if that's what people around here use.
