Swatz told me about this group of cool dudes called TXR. He told me they had this funny new website and a very big TS. I was intrigued in a very no-homo way.
Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong forum.
I'm from CASH on the NC. Also terribly infamous as 'Genocidal Rampage' in all caps. I didn't make the name and no amount of praying, crying, begging, or internet tough-guying has gotten SOE to change our name. Your average new member probably hasn't even heard of us, but apparently we used to be this big deal like two years ago. Different times and an arguably different game but a few of us are still around and are now looking at ways to spice the game up. We're mostly specialists now in non-overlapping fields, which is great for small squads (read: 5-7 people), but that's not really what the allure of PS2 is about. We have limited effectiveness in the larger battles and the most recent changes to Libs have hampered our ability to be just a complete nuisance, but it's all in good fun. So instead of grinding the same wheel, a few of us are seeking alternative experience elsewhere. We're not interested in maining TR but I'm interested in seeing what it's all about; quality of the average squad, meta organization of the outfits on server, how many radical dictatorships rise and fall per day, behavior of the 'average' TR player, how many free government cupcakes are distributed daily, and how many suspicious glances we get for having yellow and blue freedom armor beneath the red and black.
If the stars align and I don't get murdered in my sleep for talking to dirty totalitarians, hopefully I and some of my colleagues will have the pleasure of teaming up with you guys soon.
Also, you can find us on our website here: http://www.cashchimera.com/home Any sharp-eyed observer will notice our primary website is branded for CASH - Chimera Assets and Security Holdings - we're an HC Corporation for STAR CITIZEN - and that's where the majority of our out-of-PS2 interest is. CASH by itself is dedicated to two games - Star Citizen and PS2 and with a few other game interests - mainly MMOs, Squad shooters, and COOP games.
P.S. I like the new website - it's very TR. Needs more blue and yellow, imho.
Greetings CASH! Wonderful to hear from you guys. Usually my only interactions with your group involving the trading of copious amounts of ammunition and the resulting fiery deaths. I feel like there is room to expand our relationship.
I'd heard some rumblings you guys were interested in running some TR alts with us and I know I speak for the rest of the command staff when I say that makes us very excited! I'm looking forward to fighting (and perhaps flying?) with you guys.
For those of you not familiar with CASH (how's your life under that rock?), these guys are a great NC outfit and a lot of fun to fight and fly against. Please welcome them and show them how we have fun around here. Wait, no. On second thought, be on your best behavior and try not to scare them off until they've had a chance to drink the kool-aid.
And remember CASH, within every traitor lies the seed of loyalty! It is in man's nature to desire peace and unity with his fellow man. Let go of your petty greed and return to the protecting embrace of the Republic. Loyalty, Unity, Duty!

Thank you for your warm invitation, Magnifiscent! Our numbers aren't substancial, but we try to put our best effort into whatever we're doing - even if it is just 'farm' for some players.
Also, on a personal note Magnifiscent - I as a loathesome ground support (rocket farm) ESF find you and your Skywatch the bane of my increasingly shortening flight time. I may have to fly with you to learn your secrets and usurp your power.
Kidding aside, I am genuinely interested in flying with a larger, more practiced flight wing. I am one of only two ESF specialists in CASH. We have other pilots, some quite practiced, but NC air in general seems to leave much to be desired. As a direct response, I usually only fly in a full ground-support role. I have enough flight hours in practice to be able to dogfight an average pilot and usually win, but I'm toast against a dedicated AA fighter and a practiced aviator. I won't get into Reaver vs. Mossie, but I've never felt going head-to-head in ESF dogfights or hover fights was something our flying refrigerators were good at. It'll be nice to see whether the Mossie is the killing machine of my dreams and nightmares or if's all totalitarian propaganda. If your Skywatch wing is open to non-outfit members, I will try to get my Mossie up to spec by Tuesday at 7.
All CASH fliers are more than welcome to fly with us. Currently Tuesday nights at 7:00pm PST we do a nice big air training/practice session that lasts a few hours. It's more focused to getting newer guys some flight time and ends up being a nice big mosquito ball that roams around doing just about whatever we want.
Wednesday nights we have a weekly op with the Terran Alliance where we get to fly with some of the top aces on the TR side of the server like SNAFU and Daikon's TR alt. That is typically more geared to experienced and led by SNAFU. It's a great experience and I'm sure you'd be welcome. Those start around 6:30pm PST.
Fridays is our Friday Night Op where Skywatch runs air support for our TxR infantry and armor. This is usually a good 3 or 4 hours of fun. It's open to everyone and generally considered to be our 'serious' time. Starts around 6:00pm PST and goes until we're too tired to continue.
Skywatch is also currently expanding our division leadership which should mean even more opportunities to run with the air wing as new division Sergeants begin to run their own operations. Stay tuned to the Skywatch forum for developing information on this.
And finally, should you or any CASH members decide to make the switch to the right side, er, TR…your previous flight experience will count should you want to join skywatch officially.
Hope to see you guys in the air!

Hey, Najas! Welcome to these parts of the scary woods…. Anyways, I'm the community leader here at TXR for our Star Citizen bit. So, I don't know if you know, but we have this thing called the Auraxis Military Pact (AMP). It's an organization of organizations, if you will. We don't have a specific orientation, faction wise. However, TXR and TRG are going to be on the less savory side of the law, along with other PS2 outfits like Warmachine, BAID, CLX, and Praetorian Guard to name a few. Not all outfits are going the route of a syndicate. If you're interested in it, give TRG's Kylsix, Calonis or Caelim a shout. TXR has a very fledgling group so far building up to Star Citizen's release and the AMP isn't looking too shabby either.
Thanks PoorRichard! I am one of the leaders for CASH's Star Citizen community and we're primarily going to be focused on secure trading and enforcement on the 'legal' side of things. I'm sure we'll be in business together, but we'll be claiming plausible deniability if any TXR/CASH losses arise!
I do know about the AMP and we were originally approached to join them! However, it just wasn't a good fit at the time for us or what we could realistically bring to the pact so we passed on it. Maybe in the future, once we have a greater understanding of how the overall SC game is going to be and what opportunities are available will we reconsider approaching the AMP with a new offer. CASH has a large number of economically-oriented players who may not be the best combatants so we're looking at ways to accommodate all ranks of player.
