There's a reason for that. See if you can figure it out.
All I said was that I had been busy with that. He had no reason to bring it in here.
You said he was being a selfish jerk.
All I want is control over a few fighters. I even suggested bringing in a new squad that would be under my direct command and he can keep the original pilots. He won't even consider letting me command *his* fighters because they're automatically his because he's in charge of ship defense.
Incorrect. We had no problem with you becoming a pilot. You pointed out that you were of higher rank than Thorin, and that that fact might cause problems. We proposed numerous sollutions to that, all of which you ignored. This conflict stems from you flat out refusing to be answerable to him, or not being head of your own department.

Uh...no, not at all. Now you just go back to your nice flammable house. Oh, and those puddles are just....uh....water. Yeah, that's it.

I mean, if you got fighters you need a fighter wing, and while that should ALLWAYS be co-ordinated with ship defencei dont see a reason for it to be subservient to it, as its sort of a different kettle of fish. I dunno, im not good with the whole ranking thing..
I've already answered this earlier in my post. The problem is not that Blackstar wants to command fighters, the problem is that her current rank would mean she would be Thorin's superior officer, despite Thorin being in charge of the department. We've proposed numerous compromises and sollutions to this problem, but the fact is that Blackstar refuses flat out to answer to Thorin.
I might be trying to apply amodel here that doesnt work, but you cant just go "Oh, well done, now shove off" to blackstar just because hir origional task is Mission Complete. You said it yourself, guys, shi doesnt really have a reason to stick around - so GIVE hir one, without making it scrubbing the latrines or something! Make hir feel like shi isnt being kicked in the head by higher ups all the time and, golly gosh, maybe shi'l wont feel like shi's being maltreated all the time and get along with you guys better!
As a matter of fact, it was shi hirself who said hir reason for being on the ship was at an end. None of us even bothered with hir character's time-limit mission. Indeed, I was more than happy to let M'Real stay for as long as she wished. It was Blackstar who brought up the subject of needing something to do. We've proposed numerous alternative positions that shi can occupy, but shi's turned down all of them.
Secondly, any shit shi's getting from the senior officers is caused by hir own actions. My character tends not to bother people as long as they don't piss him off in some way or another. The problem in this case is that M'Real's actions convinced him she was trying to take him down, and she kept flaunting shipboard rules which simply couldn't be ignored. I've proposed numerous ways for her to get back on my character's good side, but, again, shi's ignored all of them and merely kept digging the hole shi made for hirself even deeper.
..Meep. well, sorry to rant... I dont mean to slap anyone in the face with the gauntlet here, but... Well, Blackies my friend.. and, besides, OOC drama as well as IC drama allways tears down an Rp...
No problem. But, like Dusk, the problem is that you don't really know what's going on. Still, loyalty is to be commended.
