"We do not tell you how to play the game, we provide the humour and the environment for you to play in" - Montoya.

We should have groups of players who come together to do something and not have set groups for the org. Ruins the point of TEST
You have a point, but the idea of squads is to provide a structure that allows divisions (according to my division proposal) to fund these squads on a case-by-case basis, rather than doling out money to random group that form and disband at any time.

I support the idea of a flexible organization, but we do need some degree of structure to prevent the org from hemorrhaging money, assets, and manpower. :)

I am not against having two squads under exploration, mind you.

Just saying most of test is people who just want to have fun with their mates. If you want to have a way of finding your groups that's fine but some people came here to group up with people time to time

this intro to ship modules has reignited my imagination for this game. A Tali as a med ship, a Freelancer as a SAR vessel, Cutlass as an explorer, a redeemer as a ship repair craft. It's all wide open. I hope CIG can keep up with OUR imaginations.

I think the idea is that there are enough people in TEST that we will have organized, more formal squads, in addition to pick-up groups that just spontaneously form and go mining/exploring/miming/pirating/etc.

We could set up a few different groups and assign people to them, and as you log on you find the group and get up with them. I personally work a 24 hour shift with 48 hours off. I would not be able to explore every night, but when I log on....I will be on until the sun comes up.

We're not a squad or sub division or even trying to be, we are just a group of people that like the idea of exploring and want to hang out doing that when we feel like exploring. We are not asking for money or assets, we just want to do our thing with a group of like minded people.

Besides, by the time the game reaches beta or even release, we might have an official exploration division.
You could always chose to merge.

I like the exploration idea in any case.
But without going through 6 pages of posts, I'm wondering if there will be a large frigate along for the ride for refuelling?
I mean, there is no telling how much time there will be between refuelling opportunities.
And a frigate has many possibilities for turret deployment. Sends out a nice 'don't fuck with us' vibe.
Useful when you're in a different galaxy from possible backup.

There was mention of a starfer or two

if my friend dosen't get SC, your welcome onboard the USS Cannon fodder (Vanguard Harbinger)
I have one of those also. Although, I've been thinking about dumping my super hornet for a DUR And extra space pesos. It would hurt to lose 'Metal Muffin', though. We've been thru so much together.
