I got Ame's reference.
Yes, we're not intending to steal things from Nepleslia. The base of the new faction will be a couple of factions with their own gear and everything. Worst we're going to do is pick up some old ship designs from way back and revamp them, and we're probably going to have to argue tooth and nail to do it, but it isn't the biggest priority. The stuff we worked on there, that we can take, well, that's up to the people who control those assets if they want to move them or not, but that's their work so it's hard to blame them.
I've been harsh in my criticism, but I don't blame Ame or Gunhand anymore. If anything, now that we know where we stand, we're in a good position to be friends again, though with some of the things I've said to or about both of you, I realize that might be a while in coming. In the short term, no - we're not trying to steal your thunder. We've just got our own to throw out now. ;3
