Yeah, I was one of them:PThree of them were independents though, which is still as cool as anything cause they're great players and we toasted a Rheinland Battleship with their help. But I want to see more RHA on as well!:P
The biggest problem for me is activity. I never see any RHA members online. When I log into my [SA] or [GC] chars, I look to see who is online every time. Only once have I seen an [RHA] member online, and at that point, I was in the middle of a huge skirmish. I've been in the [SA] for at least a week now. I'm sure if the activity was larger, more people would be involved.
Of course, I know. I'm not helping by just logging into another character. If I'd log into my [RHA] char first, maybe I'd attract other members. Problem is, if I venture into New Berlin to pester traders (which I most enjoy), I'm scrap in no time flat. Wilds at the Sigma-13 hole are a hastle, and the [RM] is always about.
I haven't posted the report yet, but yesterday night while helping a new rekrut get set up and making sure he was okay to go, someone else PMed me with their interest in joining the RHA. He told me his character's name and RP background, both of which I liked, so I set him up on the RHA forums and with dough from our armory. We were working on his rep when I decided to bring the flagship back home to Dresden...we would meet in Omega-47, but one of us got held up there by an indy Corsair, and we in O47 got held up from helping him by Azz's gunboat. Blew the gunboat, scared off the indy, and then it was 2 am and I was gonna get less than five hours sleep so I had to dock and log off.:P
Basically, my in-game time is extremely limited right now and prone to VERY frequent interruption. Which is why I have seldom been logging into my faction characters; I simply lack the time to do anything of import. So I log into one of my handful of indy chars, hop one star system over or take a mission, and then generally have to log out again. Don't worry, when my schedule is more relaxed I'll be around much more often.;)
EDIT: Noooooes! Please tell me those cooking tips didn't include Conrad's wife's super-secret apple pie recipe?!
I'm gonna try and come on Kaspar as frequently as possible then, and organise actions with whoever is available at the time.
Warien: I can see what you mean with the domino effect that there need to be people online to get more people online. I was like that for a moment as well, but what you are missing is that there are a lot of independent Hessians around Dresden and New Berlin lately. You won't see them as easily out of the player list because of the lack of the tag, but they are great players, and if you check the message dump you will see that the last big action was organised with their help. Check out the nicknames and have a look out for them as well, it's always a boost to our numbers.
Lancer: I hope you get RL sorted as fast as possible, we need you out there you know:P

They will never get their hands on our secret key to victory! I will see to that!
