I am quite surprised the OPG is disbanding, Ive remember way back in my noob days seeing the OPG...getting pirated, and killed by the OPG....good times...
Good luck in your future endevours Gentle, and good luck to all the previous members of the OPG.
Damn and Tripple Damn, I've not been on Discovery long and lot of my trips have been out Tripoli and Crete way. Totaly enjoyed being in the same space as you guys, gonna miss you all.
Well, I haven't had as much experience as others with OPG, but for the most part I rather enjoyed their presence, whether it was the one OPG that basically introduced me to the Corsairs by "requesting" that I take food to Cadiz for a nice reward back when I was still flying a Camara, or engaging in PvP with them on El Aguila, they've always upheld a certain level RP and general awesomeness that I liked, whether I happened to be on their side or not. I'm glad I was able to participate in the battle in Omega-3, even if I was on the RM side at the time, it was amazing seeing all those vessels in combat, (even though Grimly was proving rather frustrating when I couldn't hit him when he wasn't moving 5 units in any one direction :P.)
I'm sad to see OPG go after such a short time (at least from my perspective) but given your lengthy history and current status I can see why you would decide to disband it. I'm not sure if the Corsairs will ever be the same again, but I wish you all the best of luck in whatever you get into.
I was generally on the other side being chased. Spent lots of time dodging you guys, Including some missiles, being chased through asteroids. Some of the best fun I've had on Disco!
Despite the various controversies. You guys added a lot to the game.
To be honest, I never liked the OPG. So I got mixed feeling about this. it's always sad to see an official faction dying but on the other side... I'm happy it happend.
Be sure another Corsair faction will take your place very soon. So the spirit of the OPG will not die, it will just be... Transfered.
As one of the HAF leaders, i want say this is really unexpectec for us too, since you are in the HAF history as one of the most important chapter, where we all learn many things about the Corsair Empire from you, the ugly and ferocious fellas of the OPG.
But who can say nothing about the future? maybe you can back someday and support the corsairs dreams again.
Good luck amigos.
Now you are leaving us a new work, time of the HAF its here, at the side of the TBH and the Benitez family.
VIVA CRETE!!

//Gentle, i was in disco for a long time, you know how many, and you was one of my first friends in Gamma... good luck in the real world.
Cant say i feel sorry about this.As a former corsair indie,i didnt like the OPG much,it was too..arrogant,from my perspective,at least.But as a trader,i met them many times,and in most cases we had a good time.
One thing that i liked about the OPG is that they always pirated me right,asking reasonable amounts of cash or cargo,not like those "pay 5 mil" wannabes.
I hope the remaining OPGs will continue with their good approach of piracy.
The Mandalorians will miss you . When I was more active , the first thing I would look for would be to see if any OPG were floating around somewhere - I've never had a bad battle or interaction with your faction ( haven't won many though :laugh: ) , you guys brought ferocity back to pirating !
One of my favourite encounters since joining Discovery was when Mentira ( I think ? ) pirated my noob trader of his codie harvest - the ( very RP ) savagery of the piracy had me really grinning !
Thanks guys , I look forward to bumping into you in space again , its been a buzz .
