HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!
It's been one hell of a year, but we're finally here. Let's take a step back and take a look at all that's happened so far.
The DFN was officially founded July 27th, 2013. After that,
We joined the UAF, got real big, halted a flamewar, created the biggest treaty to date, were one of the largest players in the largest war to date, teamed up with the CR to take on the many pirates on Illusive, saw the death of the old CR, the rise of many small factions from it, created a subfaction, got rid of a subfaction, stole a frigate, stopped a revolution, started a revolution, saw the death of the UAF, built a titan, built another titan, joined the Athanatos Concord, took on Odium, saw the death of Event Horizon, the second rise of the CR, avenged a stolen destroyer by blowing up everything a faction owned, fought a proxy war with a spy ring, and we're still up and kicking.
This year will be different. We will be releasing most or all of our ships to public blueprints, are going to attempt to take a step back from the more violent factions of the community, and focus more on building and competitions.
That being said, we were unprepared for a lot of the stuff that came at us. I am determined to keep our faction ready to spring into action should the need arise, and have the firepower and manpower to back that up. I'm looking into a skype network, a steam chat group, and easily setup/deployed ships in order to have a more rapid response to situations. Along with that, we will be introducing more screening measures in order to prevent infiltrations.
It's been a good year, a rough year, and I hope for many more to come.
