As with the knights (and sorry to also be a downer haha) having sub divisions of a sub division seems like it may cause more trouble than its worth?

for example a test member is being attacked by an org we are at war with

Do I go try find the knights or is this a yellow jackets thing?

another example
Yellow jackets are about to do a daring raid on a station with a confirmed big fight
we need to organize this group and yellow jackets maybe knights want to get involved aswell we need to message them?

But I am in all these groups so would get the message? then whats the point of having all these groups?

imo if we can get yjs organised in one place it will be easier to find help and to organize all combat stuff

I'm being attacked by an org message yjs people can group then and there and respond there is no need to decide on a sub division of a sub division

I also fear that having sub divisions would divide us up and competition would set in when we could all be working together.

This is also why i have started this thread in yjs

It gives a better idea of what you want to do and what ships you want to use
From here we can organize in greater numbers find players that fit your play style in one place and make it easier for new players to find a group to play with,

that way there should always be a good number of players that want to do the thing you want to do in one place,

Sorry if this come across as grump or salty (I'm really trying for it not to sound like that) this is test you can do whatever you want! I just wanted to put my 2 cents in about sub divisions

If you wanted to get a hold of yellow jackets/knights/cannon fodder you need to get a hold of the communications sub-division of test. They specialize in intra org communications....

So we have the yellow jackets that are aggressive flying, and now we have the knight templars for defence. Can we hAve a seperate division for people that have no regard for their lives to jump first into battle so these other guys can do their job?

Not sure who these knights templar are but.... YJ ARE the official defensive and offensive arms of TEST. YJ were built for both purposes in mind not merely offensive. It has been said many times and even just yesterday a Officer and leader of YJ has said this.

A big thing to keep in mind, we want the Yellow Jackets to be where everyone first calls home. That way we can try people out, get them to fly escorts for the haulers, the miners, and security runs. Equate it roughly to the militia training of medieval time where we can call on everyone to fill a whole as needed.

Yellow Jackets for Life!!!

So YJ is the combat and defensive arms of TEST, this includes cannon fodder. There is no need for 50 divisions. Why other mining divisions shut down once Rock Raiders was built, why Shive and Eiyron groups/followers were combined to make Team rockets, the pirates formes under one flag of MARS.


Edit: as for making a sub division inside YJ I can see this happening but that will be task minded such as fighters, bombers, capital etc etc. Having a sub group that is only running defensive is too broad of a term. Is defensive mean defending the capital shi9 while it makes a run? Or is it running escort? Maybe its guarding shives golden schlong? It is better to divide it by specific mission and ship capabilities.

Yes we know YJ like crashing into things. So why is there a need for another sub-sub-division when we already have an official division. Its redundant.

Well shit, YJ's are TEST, so crashing into things would make sense. Ha.

That being said, if a group of dudes and dudettes want to run around crashing into everything for a living, who's to say they can't? The entire purpose of TEST is to let people do what they wanna do and be who they wanna be. They may not be official, but they don't have to be. I most certainly won't always be operating under a TEST banner when I'm playing.

This is exactly what test is
Whatever you wanna do with the people you want to do it with

There is just no point to creating divisions about fighting is what we mean when we have a division for fighting stuff that covers everything

Speaking from experience with wanting to create essentially a sub division in test it was pitched to me that it splits the community
We would all be stronger as the mighty faggot

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(unit)


Than as just a lonely stick

That's why i think it be better to point to yjs forum
the profession area of test is a bit misleading imo

Come over and find some guys that want to crash into enemies of test there is a 100 odd members of yjs that's growing all the time
I even have created a discussion about what kind of proffession and what you want to do in yjs
Crashing is of course the most prized of professions

if you get what i mean?

Totally tracking. Unity, not a hundred separate entities. A bundle of faggots is far stronger than any individual. Synergy and all that good stuff. I think we're speaking the same language, haha.

Unofficial crashing is just TEST trying to fly. Ha.
