So many posts, can't read every page
Just wanted to say thanks to those illuminating that ACES is simply upfront with our goals, which are largely to be a mobile strike force in assisting the Star League's hold against the clans.
We hoped that our arrival in Kuritan space would trigger a renewed offensive against Smoke Jaguar, as unlike previously, you would now have the manpower to do so. Choosing to not join in that with the SL is certainly your choice to make, but as that didn't efficiently align with our goals, we decided we could be more effective elsewhere.
Sure, I definitely hoped that the "threat" of our leaving would sway the council into joining, but I also wanted to state that as a simple reality and to be transparent.
To those making comments about ACES loyalty to Davion, and that coloring our diplomacy. Well, I'm sure many Davion leaders themselves can confirm that we don't maintain close ties. We support the idea of a stabilized sphere, that includes a stable Davion that isn't picked on from every side.
The Coalition of mercenaries wont be rolling around faction to faction starting personal fights or "living for the tag count". We wont break faction cease fires. We will work with faction command structures, but our help should be expected to contribute towards SL goals. My hope is we can be a coalition that houses enjoy seeing support from, not sweating over what we're going to meddle with next.
Any other mercs that want to join the Coalition, just send me a PM and we'll talk. Any house command structures that need assistance with a clan problem, do the same.
