I do not think player-run organisations that are not subject to any deadlines, reasonable timely responses/SLAs, should have the power to charge players nearly as much as it costs to even make the ship purely not to get shot and FR3'd.
Why should I pay a tax to an inactive veteran who does not even pay attention to the game and community for over a week at a time in order to not get nodock'd from an entire region of space?
I will also echo Seapanda's sentiment - if you lose to a longhorn or bulwark in a cruiser, you are not a reasonable cruiser player.
