Yeah no, I wouldn't be interested in causing additional drama or anything with RFP|. As for that skype group idea, well, I don't really know any RFP| guys, and if I did I don't think that idea would really appeal to me, mostly because I don't see any RFP indies. I was hoping making a faction would draw more people to the NPC faction rather than try to group up with the, by my count, 0 other RFP indies. I just don't see that resulting in anything but what I already have, y'know? And what I have is a lonely RFP indy with, most of the time, nobody to call on for backup. Unless there's a Hamburg raid going on. Relying on those would suck.
Just gonna bump this, really want more opinions. Can't tell if anybody would be interested in making an RFP character to sign up for a new faction for it or just generally interacting with one. I'm off to bed, so I'll read responses tomorrow.

Hello, another RFP| here after Emile RFP indies sometimes appear ingame, yet they are quite rare. Police job is quite often lonely job, unfortunately, for many reasons. But we are trying.
But back on topic. Everything depends on what you want. If you want just to have better chance to find somebody to fly with on patrols or to call backup, we may add you to RFP| skype channel. Just PM me and we can arrange it. We like to have more people to fly with too
About creating whole new faction, better think about it twice. Even in times when server ingame population was much more bigger, police factions were fighting to keep alive. Simply house militaries are more attractive to majority of players. So you should consider very well if you want to put effort into creating new faction. There is not small risk you will be disappointed that you can´t find players and you just wasted energy and time. But of course your call.

Remember, you don't need to be their subordinates, but that doesn't prevent you from trying to be their colleagues.
This and this. We have lost few players in last weeks and months unfortunately. It´s part of a life cycle of small faction to be sometimes short on personnel.
And yes, if you don´t want to be in our ranks, we can respect that. There already were indies which were "just" flying with us and we were flying with them.
Yeah this thread died quick, I don't think police factions get much attention because, like you said, just play military, right? Bit of a shame, I won't be trying to make a faction for it, not enough interest. But I will consider signing up for RFP|, if it gets me a skype group and a chance to fly around with other RFP guys. Works for me, I guess.
Not gonna lie, a little bit let down, lol. Enjoying playing an RFP indie quite a bit.
