The Republic has more or less given us permission to go ahead and take some ships, namely because they aren't part of their fleet, they have bigger fish to fry and there are people involved some of them would rather avoid. There ya go! Changing taks from skirmish to faction.
That said, Isis, there was no need to come out as you did towards Syn. He is speaking on the behalf of his peers, as any FA should. You will only make yourself to be more notorious. Right now, that's not a good thing for the Horde as it potentially ruins future opportunities.
Now! I believe I have a few posts to make, and vong symbiote armor to design. Have fun and you're free to help me ship some ships now.
