1. Your guys just circling around the miners in Penny, trying to chat them up. You know, the "We just wanna talk and drink" kind of RP, even with police around. Penny is pretty much the only* place I meet the Commune. You're there quite often and I have no idea why, as showing off your shiny ships to the newbies there and other traders, and cruising around to avoid conflict when the cops show up is "meh" at best.
2. *One exception is NY. I was in a Pirate Transport, fighting off a Navy Corvo, when one of your guys (Jack something, I think, can check logs) just drops out of the lane, sends me a group invite which I don't respond to as I'm Pirate ID, says "assisting friendly" or something like that and starts shooting at the Corvo as well. There was literally zero effort put into that.
All in all, I haven't seen anything that contributes to the in game roleplay environment from you. Not yet, at least. I understand you have some forum RP in place, but eh, in game it's like you don't exist. When I see you guys, I just don't care what you are (The Commune, Outcasts, etc). Your RP is so bland that I just see you as "generic hostiles". You're the first faction that makes me feel like that. Even the random LNSs in New York make me think once or twice about how I approach a situation. I won't comment on the forum RP as I have not read it and probably won't anyway, as I have no interest and it has zero relevance to the way you conduct yourselves in game.
Based on my experience with you guys so far, I can't see any reason for you to become official.
