I think actually, a bit different.
If you have NPC's flying in some system, it's your ZoI.
If you have a base in some system, systems connected to that one should be available as well.
That's how Keepers made their ZoI.
For example, Gamma is their ZoI only around Kappa JH (Because, only there can Nomad NPC's be found).
Anyway, it's settled, so no more arguing on this matter is needed.

' Wrote:Now, you're making some nice progress... but the pomposity and arrogance mentioned by Juan was entirely out of character. Act arrogant in-character all you like, I really love that... but don't do it out-of-character.
Now, Juan himself has had to deal with criticism before, and he has dealt with it in a very positive manner and taken it as it was intended - constructively(and with good humour, I might add.). Faction submissions are about criticism and advice, not just blowing your trumpet and saying 'look, we've arrived, so deal with it!'
Yeah I think that was a bit overboard. I withdraw the remark. Post edited.
@chopper and Drake: As I said before, we basically chose a more "exploratory" angle because we were contacted by another player who wanted to form a GMG Guard faction. The player stated his faction idea would revolve around the defense of the Sigmas. Sooo, we chose to be the exploration side of GMG for that reason. We told him that we would work with him to help defend the Sigmas until he got up and running. Where he is on this issue I don't know.
Even so, we do primarily operate around Sigma-13, Honshu, and Sigma-19. Sigma-59 is just about worthless to us at the moment since no one has been able to figure out how to become friendly with the Guard faction there (yes, our GMG reps are full).
' Wrote:@Bigglesworth - So, it is against your RP to let pirates rule over Sigmas, so you can use whatever you like.
Ok.
Can you re-engage? It would be fair, because, it would be against your RP for pirates to conquer Sigma-13.
See my point?
First of all your logic in this statement is flawed. The server's rules should not be an issue here at all. There is a huge difference between using a variety of weapons to combat our enemies, and overhauling the rules.
On the other hand, we don't have to try and "defend" Sigma-13 if you guys don't want us to. To defend that system adequately requires an enormous sum of money. Money we do not have, to spend.
But I think alot of the traders would be pretty happy with us if we did.

If you arm your Bomber with disinfectors only, you have nothing to kill shields.
You need pulse weapons. Debilitators are the only available for you.
Well yes, Debilitators was the logical choice. The Disinfectors only do half the damage to shields that the Debilitators do. But the Disinfectors inflict hull damage. That is why we chose them. But you and Mjolnir were correct and I suppose we shall have to acquire some of these weapons now and setup bombers.
Again, thank you all for the ideas and advice.

We're a guild, that mines gas. Isn't that strange?
We supply Sirius with H-Fuel...like the Middle East supplies oil to the world.
So, put that in you pipe and smoke it...
Imp. Debilitator - 628 shield damage; energy usage - 128; energy efficiency - 5.0
Disinfector 3 - 230 shield damage; energy usage - 96; energy efficiency (for shields only) - 2.5
See my point?
Not to mention speed difference, you can mix Debilitators with GMG Skyblasts (same speed, 750)
While Disinfectors have 600 speed.
Yes, i think i know who you'r talking about.
Then it is ok completely, because GMG will have a classic GMG faction for Sigmas, and Yours for the rest.
Thanks for the info.

Yes you're right about the Debils..heading get some asap.
If, say, this other player gets his faction running, I would like to have a huge battleship(s) that we could sit somewhere and base operations out of. We could, say, announce it on a message board that the primary GCorp "base of op" was going to be moving to a new location. And our ZOI could be in that area for a while.
This was all said earlier in the thread, but it will require some serious tweaking for it to operate properly.
Also: Is the Liberty Carrier still here? That would be a prefect ship to have as base. Maybe we can work something out with Liberty for that. Hmmm, H-Fuel discount? From what I understand the people of Liberty hate high gas prices...
@Angel Of Mercy: Yeah we already have. The GMG guard is neutral to us...but not green like it should be.:wacko:

About getting a Liberty Carrier.
I don't think so.
I haven't seen USA selling their Carriers to Saudi Arabia for Oil discount.
And not sure if your ID allows battleships at all?
If yes, then Battlestar.
If not, then some kind of a Destroyer. I don't know if Zoners would sell their Fearless?

I've been meaning to post this for a bit but I recently became incapacitated with a minor-case of death over Christmas(Fun for all!) so I didn't get around to using my brain nor posting this.
At the moment, as I'm sure most of you noticed. We have a very small presence on the server, this is due to the majority of our member base being on vacation with family and friends over the Christmas break, so we aren't generally active. I myself, and a few others will be going on vacation very soon aswell so we simply will be unable to operate at all so the faction going official has to be put on a hold until we all return.
This should probably occur late in January, near the end to be slightly more exact. So I hope we won't be thrown into the inactive/incomplete category until we regroup again and then I'll post the faction threads etc:)
