galcop doesn't own the bubble 2.0

Shouldn't your signature read the "SEPP Border Coalition"?
Drew's the guy who directed me to Selezen in the first place. I asked him on this very forum. I don't remember him saying anything about not using the name.
The fact we even used GalCop in the first place is was because of a lore blurb (in game since the beginning) that mentions there being a "Gal-Cop" and in-game people questioning its legitimacy. (In fact, we began as Gal-Cop but everyone else insisted in dropping the hyphen).
In this weird, meta-game way, we made that lore blurb come absolutely true.

To be honest they can claim or do whatever they like. A player claimed to be the Queen of Sagittarius A* and would attack people that didn't request permission to entry from her. That lasted about a week, Galcop may last a month or two, maybe longer if they don't do anything to upset people as the player above did by trying to restrict access.
In the end no matter how many supporters Galcop has there will still be 100's if not 1000's of times more random players that couldn't care less or that will oppose them. On the whole faction control it's not my bag but the second they start claiming territory and enforcing no-fly zones is the one where they get added to my enemies list (to avoid turning ED into Eve 2.0, this is my tree-house no one else allowed gameplay). I am but one decidedly averagely skilled player but weight of numbers does add up. I'm not concerned until Galcop decide to do something like this. If they never do I'll carry on as normal not caring who's space I'm flying in and throw them an "o7" in chat on my way past

GalCop no fly zones...?
Heh.
Here's a well known part of GalCop interacting with my former player group, Adle's Armada:-

I'd support a Brown Coat faction.
I see the fear-mongering is alive and well in this thread.
GalCop are an inclusive multi-group player effort.

one reason this mega thread exists https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...Station-EOL-PROU-nebula-and-the-barnacle-hunt
im all in favour of many groups being involved and counter balances always should exist, i know AEDC, Galcop, , raxxla groupings, cannon and many others are involved, some and ill be non specific here may claim for their own promotional / recruitment purposes to have this and that, but really for every large power that rises in MMO games, another group or groups will rise to challange it, its a human nature thing.
Im actually all for groups getting involved in jaques its very much needed, but i think we can safley bypass any notions that any group or groups actually have more power than any other groupings at jaques, and if it looks like any group is getting to large no doubt others will rise to challange etc etc thats the nature of politics in elite, in the real world etc etc
The freelance community is by far more sizeable and the weight of random actions in this game at least for now will always be stronger.
But ill leave the argy bargy and push and shove to the groups thread, the megathread remains one place ( as well as emirus efforts and others) somewhere individuals can have their discussion and work across party lines so to speak.
Of course if you want to support a group, the groups subsection is full of about 30 groups at last count all doing their jaques bit, putting their PR/media machines into overdrive and doing all those things that groups do

if its one thing ive figured out, given the size of bubble mk 2 is unlimited, there will be balttles for influence but no one can technically control it. Ok for now we have what 1 station and 2 new faciltiites according to CGs going in
but consider this say once 10 - 20 stations are built, there will be fractures that develop, more minor factions, more smaller groups will ask for new outposts, small scale CGs will lead to successful construction.
Group A might have a vision and control and the numbers, but group B might come along and say hey we oppose this, and the devs will facilitate this sort of unfolding drama in the storyline
So then Group B might develop and battle group A, group C might come along and do their own thing ( then theres the npc factions that devs will introduce) as well as probably the other 80% who wish to do their own thing.
And as we can see nothing will remain stable in the medium to long term, and i think its a great thing

i had heard of that, and if they are, they bring an honesty and ability to disrupt the status quo which could be a good thing for the game
As far as jaques goes, if galcop are the only ones embracing and taking jaques on as a proper thing in their operations, its up to other groups to stop being lazy and hazy and actually get their groups out to help jaques in anyway that is possible and to make use of it.
Nice move at disinformation. The reason for this thread is your bunch of... people laying claim to the efforts and hard work being done by a lot of other people, yet that is not something that you addressed.
It will be interesting so see how it all develops, and what Factions emerge out there.
Reason I was asking is I heard of Imperial players wanting to get a foothold for the Empire out there

and it is probably something they wont address either as it would entail admiting any weakness and eve goons never did that. The good news is i think the community at large know that there are many entities, and again its going to be up to other groups to create their own RP, media, recruitment, promotional and other efforts to show the wider community that galcops (any assertions they make or claim false leadership over) wrong from a counter point of view ( a lot of my post here is devils advocate) i think their involvement is a reasonable thing, the good news is i think the devs are aware of the real on the ground efforts ( colonia nebula initative, friends of jaques, transmining industries, aedc, fuel rats, even the children of raxxla, and finally cannon reseearch have devoted resources but retained an open community element)
So make those videos, engage on the ground, show and publish youre results and any so called naked emperors will soon fade into the background

The process of submitting a minor faction insertion in and around jaques i think is the same process for submitting them anywhere else, via Fdev, if the imperials are doing it i would expect the major groups and federation, alliance and perhaps other powerplay entities will have to do the same, and show in some way that they are actually active to get Fdevs ear.
The emergence of emergent content is a good thing anywat

nit
Havent seen u active on the friends of jaques megathread yet ( its a fancy name theres no real group but its more of a community effort from individuals and freelance specailists instead) some groups have tried to use it for their own purposes, but ive made sure such groups are acknolwedged but no one gains a particular upper hand or weight of influence is kept balanced
The Diamond Frogs are indeed from Something Awful, and some of them have played EVE. We've never tried to hide this, either. Downplay? Sure. Because every time the "goon" thing comes up it's a sure sign the other person has run out of valid arguments, as if I'm responsible for someone who was mean to their spaceships from a completely different game.
It's universally agreed among us that We don't want this game to become like EVE Online, same as you all.
It's also really really important to stress that none of the other members of GalCop are affiliated with Something Awful. Several of those member organization are Triple Elite. These are the people who gave the Diamond Frogs a chance and together, we did some amazing things. You're welcome to disrespect my Diamond Frogs for being cheeky jerks, but give my friends and allies a little credit, yeah? And don't try that "judged by the company you keep" rebuttal. GalCop is not Goons (goons work for GalCop)
There's goons and ex-goons not affiliated with the Diamond Frogs who play this game. Others just want to netflix and drill. Play Space-Eurotruck Simulation. We are not bogeymen in this game, just play the game and beat us by being better than us, not by holding grudges.
Not singling you out, either, akaliel, just quoted you. [heart]
Like, take this fella for example. I am assuming you're trying to invoke "goonfear"? Please, continue, I am not precisely sure what you're asking me to address.

You are correcct, I haven't been in that thread. I have been in the Explorer subforums instead.
Ah, yes, rather than rebutt me, you use an Ad Hominem attack with an Appeal to Ridicule thrown in for good measure. Sad, really, since that is more the technique of a troll than the efforts of someone arguing a legitimate position. To me, you come off as a forum fighter or maybe, being charitable, as a spin doctor.
It's ok, though, I'll play along. See, the hubris here is that, since I wasn't in YOUR thread, I wasn't involved. On the other hand, I can point to a lot of other threads I am involved in. August Exodus and the IGER RP spring immediately to mind. The difference is, we aren't claiming to be the only people in the sandbox, taking credit for other peoples' actions or that we own pieces of lore. What I perceive is that you are are trying to brand yourself into the history of the game at other peoples' expense, in short, a quest for glory.
So this escalated quickly. I was not trying to attack the character of Galcop's members, I was simply saying that I didn't like the part of the video where they claimed ownership of the colonia initiative. Galcop are not the only people operating in the region, it is a collaboration of groups and individuals toward the greater good.
GalCop was in the previous games. They were fighting the Feds and Empire. And somewhere in one of the books, I think by Drew Weber, there was a lemur.
