They often seen in Omega 52 for 20-30 minutes without leaving system. I once even logged to come and check it out, when I approached the person cruised away, ignoring my RP and just patrolled around Omegas silently.
As Jammi said, they couldn't have been AFK if they saw you, no?

Peculiar choice of words here. The SCRA "we all know and love"may just be the "SCRA JayDee knew and loved". If factions get caught in the clique of unprofessional behavior, it's only natural for them to kick out the problem, or problems, at the cost of activity. This "new" SCRA isn't anything short of what should be expected. They've taken on some troublesome members and as Scourge as pointed out, it's being dealt with. Trial and error. The cycle of correcting your faction structure and members.
Quote:In addition I find it really sad that you turned your recruitment process to standart "message-typed" like most factions have. You slowly killing SCRA spirit over time and people around start to notice it.
This new recruitment system shouldn't be so shallowly analysed either. The previous recruitment style, while as RP eccentric as it was, was a tedious process that took yonks for a new member to join the SCRA and start committing activity. While it can be argued that this weeds out the lolwats and other detrimental recruits, the standard "fill out a form" style lets activity become more accessible and allows for the automatic process of torching the lolwats, due to community feedback, as Spazzy and Memesfit have already highlighted.
Anyway, I wish the SCRA best of luck with their endeavors in fine tuning their faction and can't wait to see the roleplay that will be produced.
