Yeah. So what is there after that then?
This isn't a QQ btw. Just an observation.
You've gotten the rank, you've gotten the badge reqs. You can fly all of the ships. Then what? Second starship to the right, and pewpew on till morning?
There doesn't seem to be anything else for M and CM. No more new ships, no new functions.
I dunno what else there is to look forward to. Pres? Nah, I don't have the singleminded "For the Pres" drive of RSM or their top two.
What I've taken to do lately to celebrate my GA-hood after building my pres buffer has been to find new ways to grief.... that's right... grief, my enemies. But within the game mechanics n ROC of course. 
- hunt down their 5%er dreads w Blue enh and kill them. There goes 1 dura LOL
- plant mines around the other side of the gate to catch low hulled escapees
- drop inf on planets and raze all structures without capping it
- pull a dico n hide in the battle until some enemy is low hulled, then trap him just b4 he thinks he can ejump to safety
- tranny rush enemy dreads in the midst of a huge battle. They have to run or SD. Either way it's a mood damper LOL
- poach their newbie suppies n engies
heh heh.
What have u post GA folks been up to?

You guys are just doing things for the lolz :\
While I've been occasionally hunting newbies to guide them on their first days. Trained some 10 newbies in last two months.
Been waiting for the new fighter systems and overhauled cruisers, dreads and stations so I can do an essay-ish feedback on them. Wanna get my Beta Tester badge 
Also I like to answer questions that other players (even GAs) have. Just yesterday I remember telling someone how to /send messages to people whose callsigns have [Space] in their names.
Other than that, I haven't been doing much, though its probably because of latency issues :\
Oh well, here comes another newbie...

I got GA and proptly got myself into a pimped out station.. Tbh my life in DS consists of running into people with stations for kicks or a ranged BD.
Also, SD'ing randomly mid fight is fun to do with a BS
Tbh being GA just means I can do whatever I want because theres no way in hell I can be put down a rank with the way prestige gain is atm. I can literally afford to throw stations into the fire then sit there and milk the pres back in one go.

I stopped caring about pres after 1RA, Assault Cruiser is the biggest ship I use. When I was still more or less active I had fun doing stuff most people didn't want to do like EW, PD (AC with HCL off makes one hell of a PD ship even without pulse lasers), and Interdictor. It's also fun to fly around in a Gauss equipped Sensor Corvette and snipe the other side's Supply ships and Interdictors.
Right now I'm just waiting to see what the fighter overhaul brings, and the Cruiser refits.

1. No idea that makes real sense.
2. Stat lines. My only goal: in the top ten every catagory.
3. Refer to 1.
4. Refer to 2.
5. Refer to either 1 or 2.
