"Elite factions"

[Jansen]

As for the Colonials... They're an oddity and stand out from the above. They don't need Admin rep adjustment, and have ships, equipment and an ID that is an exact clone of the IMG's, more or less. The reason for their lack of indys is a hefty dose of FR2, I guess. It's not like their ID has any particular PvP or ZoI advantage over the IMG one.

Look at both IDs and you will realize a few differences. You will also realize that your statement is not true.

The CR might not be as elite as the other factions, due to our rather open recruitment, which really doesnt make it hard to join. But I can not imagine that we would agree to opening the faction to the public at all. Just as Alvin said, too much work and sweat put into it, while others that want to have the same did nothing for it. This is life, you want something, you have to earn it.
