I'm surprised no one has suggested the Gallic Royal Navy ID. Seems to fit well with what you are looking for.
Quote:- ZoI with lots of traffic
GRN has a huge ZoI now in the new update that includes: Vast new Gallic core worlds (which look awesome), Gallic Border Worlds, Taus, and the northern half of Bretonia. There is tons of traffic in places like Dublin, Leeds, Tau-31 and Tau-23 and with so many enemies, more will come to have the chance to fight you once your tag is recognizable.
Quote:- big cap ships
Gallia has some of the coolest looking cap ships in the game and in RP they are supposed to have a lot of them.
The Valor is a beast.
Quote:- lot of freedom in RP
I don't know so much about this one. But there are a huge number of enemies for you to fight so you have the freedom to fight/invade several different established factions: BAF, Ronin, CR, Gaians, Council, Outcasts in the Taus, Gallic unlawfuls in Gallia, and probably some others I am forgetting.
The Royal Navy will need all the ships they can get in order to adhere to the lore of being a powerful advancing invasion force that is taking on so many enemies at once. So as long as your members are careful to stick to the engagement rules, I think this could be a good fit.
GRN ID.
Gallic ZOI is huge, you can have caps, and you can go to Taus/Leeds where traffic is good as far as I know.
And yes, you got much RP freedom, you can RP all you want from proteting Gallic border, to fighting criminals, to raiding Kusari, to raiding Bretonia, to scouting, to exploring, heck...
