What I can say is that I have only seen you twice this version, and both times were in Omicron Gamma, on consecutive days at that, 15k away from Crete. Quite honestly, I find that a stretch to believe that the Hessians can even make it there, but that aside, I also find it ridiculous that the only time I ever see your faction (Even last version) is coming to Omicron Gamma.
It's not even fun to fight in such high concentrations like that, and if you want to fight Corsairs like that, you shouldn't just be coming to Gamma to roflpwn our independents, but, asking the factions to encourage more growth in the Omegas, or, heaven forbid, asking an independent to leave Gamma!
Hell, a couple of brawls in Omega-11 may be cool, or Omega-41 on the Hessian side of the minefield. Maybe even Omega-15, though it might be a stretch. The point is, the faction doesn't seem to do much else than come to Gamma to drive all the Corsairs out to PvP. It isn't even fun...
Why not...Do something else?

The Corsairs rarely come out into the Omegas, I'd personally like to see some fights in O-5 (That place was set up for Hessian v. Corsair battles, but it seems now to only be used as a Cambridge or O-3 access point.)
Yeah I don't like us being in Gamma either. That stuff yesterday, we were talking about doing stuff on skype, I suggested the Hammen hole, people seemed to agree, but when we all got online seems like some wires got crossed and someone was already at Freeport 5 all like 'hey where are you guys lets GOO WOOHOOOOOOOOOO GET SOME' so we just sort of did that.
11 is pretty much hessian, 41 is pretty much corsair, but 15 is devoid of bases for both, so would provide a pretty even battleground, but with two strong considerations:
Bounty hunters have a base here. Maybe the extra activity would be good, maybe they'd be seen as getting in the way.
Junkers have a base here too. Both sides can dock on it. Could be a big mess, or it could be interesting.
Omega 47 works, but it's supposed to be a pretty far stretch for both factions and not have any major force there all the time. Fine for the odd scrap though I guess. However it is giant.
But Omega 5 is just made for it. Both factions have a base, and there is even a perfectly delineated battlefield expressly for hessians and corsairs to fight in. I don't think there's anything quite like that elsewhere in sirius, so it's a real shame not to use it. That should definitely be where the bulk of the hessian/corsair conflict is happening.
Though I share your sympathies about the Omegas, I do believe something along the lines of contacting someone has to be done.
And despite the facts you've lain down, I do believe that there are Hessian NPCs in Omega-41, and Corsair NPCs in Omega-11 (Even as far as Freital!), and so I suggested them for those reasons. But, wherever would be fine, even Omega-7 would be a nice change of pace, and it would tie into piracy that way as well.
But, I digress, I do think we should engage in some talks, though, I can't really represent the Brotherhood in any matter, I can say that it'd be appreciated if some speaking was done to some of the indies (which I know would love to come after you) about leaving Crete to come get you before coming to Gamma repetitively like has been done in the past...

Good thing this came out in the open. Raids in Gamma are fine, but only once in a while. Something needs to be done if RHA is doing that only.
Personally I see these reasons contributing to the increased Gamma raids.
1) New Berlin is much quieter after the S-13 hole got moved. It does not provide a focal point of meeting of people anymore.
2) Rheinland military (indies) fly big ships and a lot of them. Getting jumped on by them WOULD be fine if the RP satisfaction before and after the probable engagement would be worth going to Berlin. On the other hand my encounters with the RM have been thoroughly enjoyable.
3) RM pilots are concentrated on the Hamburg or doing supportive jobs like training in guard system much more now that they used to be. The situation would be better if RHA or any of the Rheinland unlawfuls had a base in Hamburg. (To think of it I think I'll start a thread for asking a base there).
4) O-5 is a pass-through system as of now. OPG has moved a lot of it's operations to Gamma. And Sairs have used it as a transit point in striking Bretonia.
The positive things I've seen take place now are that RHA (at least when I've flown with them, which has not sadly been much) have been flying in O-7 and O-3 which we quite rarely did in 4.84 and in those systems I've been having good RP with Sairs and BHs and traders.
So maybe RHA could move couple of ships to Ronneburg and wait for people to come to them? And increase our presence in Stuttgart and other Rheinland systems.

Actually, there is a Unioner base in Hamburg, and a Bundschuh base over in Bremen that could be used for Hamburg based activities now.
The influx of giant ships isn't helping things though I imagine.
1 Yes, most of RM pilots are in Hamburg and the indies are in capships. That's...well I accept. But the indies reangage everytime we make any actions in New Berlin.
2 Well, we try to RP in Omega 5 hoping about 'sairs who'd come to 5 to fight with us, but no, they just ignore us.
So that's why we do raids becuase there guys who love RHA but they can't do anything so they move to Gamma, even if they know they'll die.
So now after more than half a year playing in the Rheinland Military, and having had countless encounters with the red Hessian Army, id like to give a Faction Feetback.
First id like to thank you boys individually and as a faction, for teaching me how to fight, how to roleplay and, yes, modesty.
Your play versus both RM and RFP is usually spotless, even if some of the newer members tend to be a bit agressive, and put winning over the fight itself...and whining over learning the lesson.
But all in all the RHA among the best advasaries one can hope for, and always good sport.
Behind the RM you are my (second) most beloved faction.
Id also like to thank you for switching from Inferno back to Minirazors, now if youd switch from Falacta back to the Thor, well all eat cake.
