It's typically a better idea to get better with the hulls you have before you race to bigger and "better" hulls.
Anyway, on the Diplo front:
I'll just ask straight-up. Who wants to join Love Squad and the Pasta Syndicate?
I've been given the choice of folding us directly into Love Squad or adding our corp to the alliance. Each one has some particular benefits:
Disbanding and joining Love Squad directly:
Access to their corp hangers and corp bookmarks.
Dat hivemind. Dat Womyn Pride.
Staying as Nanotrasen Inc and joining Pasta Syndicate:
Glorious leader An0n3 remains comdom. Remain point of contact for new players looking to join us specifically.
Keep our current hangars and setup.
Remain a splinter group within Pasta, on the off chance everything goes to hell we'll still be our own group.
At the moment I'm impartial. Love Squad is pretty great. It would streamline everything for everyone to just be in their corp and mingling with them, fleeting with them. On the flipside it would make it a little more difficult for more people to join us down the line as they'll have to talk to space strangers about getting into a corp that isn't run by any of us.
So here's what I'm going to do for now:
I'm going to apply for NTSNI to join Pasta Syndicate while we keep talking about it. When we come to a decision we'll be able to just jump ship over to Love Squad, or stay where we are.
EDIT: GOD DAMMIT YOU GUYS
We can't join the Alliance at the moment because our corp's rep with Caldari faction is still piss poor. We need a collectively 0.0+ average rating. Go do this shit:

Or else I'm going to look at you and consider just throwing you the fuck out of corp for screwing up our standings. This is why we can't have nice things.
