We humbly ask everyone who wish to contribute to this thread to read at least the first section of our proposal and F.A.Q. at the end of it. Also we humbly ask you to read posts made from this account in this thread as they may contain already answers to your questions.
To Chopper (concerning bringing capital ships to House systems): This isn't really a problem. First of all I don't see a point of hunting single snub targets in a capital ship. Any snub can outrun a capital ship. Using capital ships to hunt individual targets in house systems would be a terrible waste of time and resources. Using gunboats and gunships to hunt individual snub targets is pointless too. Second of all every major House is not happy with foreign capital ships in their realm. Rheinlanders just shoot them, Bretonians ask them politely to leave, and Libertonians combine those two approaches. As an official faction, relying on governmental contracts, we would not endanger our relationships and agreements by bringing capital ships to someone's house space uninvited. Also during the eight months of our presence here we used capital ships only in three places: Tau region to fight Outcasts, Omega region to fight Red Hessians and Magellan and Cortez to keep in check Lane Hacker Destroyer that was fending off our gunships and gunboats. Actually there was only one engagement in Magellan and it were indie Liberty Rogue cruiser and several gunboats pirating traders there. We used a Thresher and a bomber to destroy them. If it would be required then capital ship use could be restricted to non-House systems like with the current guard ID. We need them only for Taus and Omegas anyway. However, I would prefer not to have this restriction to be able to actually move the ships from one sector of Sirius to another with a permission of local governments. Right now if we move our capital ships from Taus to Omegas we need to take a route through several hostile guard systems or try to sneak through Alpha.
To Alley and eightdashbracket (concerning again capital ships and the Core): Please, read our writeup. If you don't have the time to read it, just read the first section and the F.A.Q.. Or at least pay attention to the answers I am giving from this account. InRP we are a splinter group of BHG and Core that evolved into full-fledged independent lawful PMC. If the proposal of such faction on a Mercenary ID is accepted, then we don't need any InRP or ooRP permission from the BHG or Core to use their ships. Everything that is in the faction proposal is being granted. Additionally, as far as I am concerned, there is simply and brutally no chance of BHG Core giving us InRP or ooRP anything of their stuff. And once again a single capital ship is not a solution. It just wastes the idea of EDG deployments.
To Govedo (concerning fair fights): We are ganking players. We are giving them fair fights. We are ganked. We are given fair fights. And we will continue to do both things. And other people will continue to do both things. Because both of them are fun at times. And both of them are appropriate depending on the circumstances. Personally sometimes I even ask to be ganked. If you say that you have never seen a fair fight from our side, then I must reply that your perspective is narrow. Additionally your judgement might be biased because you have been killed by some of our members. Obviously you can say the same about me. However, I am in the better position as I have hard proofs and can give you counterexamples from our vast archives of bounty claims. These are couple of examples of situations that I consider to be more than fair fights.
Well, in every of the situation above our forces were weaker than our opponents and managed to prevail without losses. I don't want it to sound like we are boasting. We are certainly not. We have several experienced PVP'ers but most of our members are rather moderately skilled. What I want to say is that your claim is completely untrue. We have archives of all our bounty claims on our external forum. I don't even know how many claims are there. Only in my personal album there are 786 images used only for bounty claims. Currently in the bounty claims database there are 216 posts. Each post contain claims from one, two or even three combat situations. Assuming that there are around 300 combat situations there that resulted in bounty claims, I am more than sure I can deliver you more than 200 examples when our forces were outnumbered, fighting fair or with only a slight advantage. But I won't do it as I have a life. Cheer up and don't let your personal grudges take the best of you.
To Govedo (concerning application to become official faction): Most of the points have been already made. We want to be independent from the BHG and especially the Core. We want to be able to shape our diplomatic relations by ourselves. We obviously also want officialdom due to our vanity. And there is another really important thing. As far as we were told in 4.86 ID changes will effectively cut us from BHG capital ships. This will mean that EDGE will need to cut EDG from its name. We obviously don't want this to happen.
In short:
We gank. We fight fair. We are ganked. We are given fair fights.
And this won't really change.
And again, there is no EDGE (as a concept) without capital ships.
