What people also fail to realise is that the IMG aren't openly "Blast the BMM to jazzy and back". Its more of a company rivalry than anything, much less hostilities toward Bretonia.
"U want meh field?!"
"YA! I want ur field!"
"U no geet meh field! This are meh field!"
"O teh noez!"
The IMG even have a base on a trade lane in Cambridge. Somehow I doubt that its anything more than "don't throw you trash in my back yard, my back yard's full" attitude, especially with a Bretonian battleship just one lane away ready to clear out the IMG if they start destroying Bretonia's prime resource assets.
The IMG are the IMG because BMM exploits the workers. As one rumor says, "My brother works for the BMM. Man, I'd never work for them. They work their people to death and when you collapse they dock your pay for sleeping on the job." Or something along those lines.
Just clearing up the common misconception that IMG is openly hostile to Bretonia.
Now, for the Pirate in the IMG GB... No. Please no. As has been stated, we're lawful. We have Falkland to protect from the hordes of Outcasts pouring out from Alpha and we probably wont sell some indy pirate a GB so he can tax anything with a cargo ship. Truly the idea of neutral pirate is rubbish. It just gives people an excuse to bum-rape anything that flies by for 2 mill or 500K or whatever fee you charge regardless of affiliation. So please, pick a side.
... Do any of the people posting here even HAVE an IMG character? O.o
