Neutrals have towerfields because they're about mining notum and smugling it out of planet, not about sides - just like clan do
Why should we not care about profit, just because we do'nt care about your sides ??
They do have banks in Switzerland on earth I think
Most gimped ranged nanomage adv. to ever hit Rimor
Never forget Neutrals can be mercenaries rather than Pacifists, quite a lot of RL Soldiers have 'retired' from active service into 'Conflict Resolution'
ALTS: Alienhunter, Moonglum, Quellist, Quellcrist, Jesharet
Never forget Neutrals buy subscriptions and expansions, or not.
I am a bit disappointed to see Means take the stance against neutral side change. But it's nothing new, same was said basically when they introduced the high level omni/clan application forms. I did wind up using it on my fixer to go omni which I regret doing now.
If flip flopping is your worry Means...
Just make side changes post 200 a paid service for all sides (Clan, Neutral, and Omni). 1k paid points seems fair. Hell, I would even fork out $20 for 2k paid points to get my fixer back to being neutral. People aren't going to be flip flopping much if they got to pay for it. I also wouldn't mind if they even put a long lock on side changing, similar to the agent undercover kits in addition to the paid points.
Why do people with no personal desire to change sides care one way or another about someone else wishing to do so? They pay their sub and they should be able to play on the side of their choosing. Would you rather see someone "go neutral" or just leave the game because they do not wish to continue their alignment with Omni or Clan? Mind your own, seriously. Way too many busy-bodies in this game worried about what other people do and how they prefer to experience the game they pay for.

BTW means since it does not seem likely we, neutrals will see an faction resign token atleast make neutral a more obvious choice.
On the friday with means july 10th 2009 you also talked about The current power gap will be "Narrowed".
Unfortunately there have since then not been many additions specificly aimed or usable by neutrals that actually seem to decrease the powergap, infact alot of items and stuff was changed that made it even bigger again like (a small ammount of examples):
- Now fredericks micro kinetic sleeve can be hacked and used by clan aswell as omni (but not neutral).
- Omni gunship can be hacked so it becomes usable by clan (but not neutral).
Are there any obvious items that are usable by neutrals filling in the powergap that i missed?

I really think its interesting, just because all have to start from scratch, no alts for OST, tradeskilling or anything.
Clean pure environment, en most inportant: the gap between "old" and "new" players will be smaller.
It will also revive RK a bit more, because npeople DO have to make credits, and as the economy is fresh also, there wont be much demand to begin with.
Yes, that is being worked on. May not get them all fixed but we are trying to find and report as many as we can find at least. Such problems were one of the things we were to look for so that does show an interest in fixing them along with floating, buried and other such glitches.
