Again, it's been decided earlier... Read posts above. It's done and nothing is going to change unless GMG apply for officialdom again.
Quote:Direct gameplay? Yes, because e.g. the SRP ships are gone which were the only counter to capships that visit Sigmas. Picking up activity and asking factions for pews (like Sairs and OC), and not owning a single cap in a system with gas pockets that kill snubs fast (while only fielding snubs)... anyway, you get the idea.
Jack, I have seen GMG| Cap just twice in combat and I don't have to remind you I've been in GMG since 2012. Neither I used it (Just two times) and we still were able to take down caps in the fields with two-three bombers and now? GMG has activity so it should be better than January and February nu? So this point is kinda invalid...
Ohhhhh and EDIT: Pockets are blocking projectiles, so Ayakashi wasn't too effective in there as well
Funny, I remember all of us (including you) fretting over being unable to fight back against the Kruger Gunboat squads because our bombers weren't enough. The SRP had it's uses, although it was somewhat hampered by the silly loadout which the HC refused to change - something which could be remedied by current GMG|.
Whilst I do think GMG being denied entry into the hardship program is criminal, as the faction made massive progress after it was just left for dead by Meoshi, when people mention GMG| being a new faction because of new membership, they may have a bit of a point. Even still, I don't think that's fair. Come on guys, they tried hard - really hard. If we apply for officialdom again, can we at least have the 3 months shortened?
I will say that without a doubt I find taking the SRP RM BS away from us is criminal. The only person who could've given it to us with rights is Meoshi, but he left without a trace. The SRP is an essential part of our lore, at least let us carry it's torch.

Yes, because Rheinland Battleship can hunt Bottlenoses without a problem. It's just a symbol for GMG lore... And if you knew it, GMG's been worried to use them since loss of Namura(Another GMG RM Battleship) and it states GMG tried to hide their "prides" in Sigma-59 and also tried to use them only in the protection of bases and Exploration.

The Heavy Mortar can do wonders against Bottlenoses.

Doesn't mean they can't have access to the SRP. They could maybe even fly it only within the bounds of Sigma-59. Regardless, I don't see that as a valid reason to not allow them to fly the SRP.
The GMG wouldn't even be official had it not been for the new system. It was a 2 month consecutive amount of low activity.
As many people have said, this is not the same GMG faction. It's entirely new people doing things differently, and you tried to do things at a bad time. I personally don't like the idea of people completely revamping a faction when it's about to die and being able to bring over the official status just because it shares the same name. If you want official status, then apply.
So basically because it is a "new" faction with all new people... then the SRPs that the previous people did are invalid?
That is what I am getting from the logic.
I wasn't talking about the SRP. That's a really odd situation and I'm not going to act like any of us knows what should be done for that. I was just talking about the decision of them going unofficial
