Yup. Pretty much.
It occurred to me that perhaps instead of having an all-blaster alt group (the alt rangers) perhaps just have a single group for alts of all shapes, sizes and ATs?
After all, your main blaster, scrapper or whatever will be in the proper group, but then any secondary blasters, scrappers et al would be in the alt group, giving them access to the coalition for teams, chat etcetera.
Of course this has the down side of having a whole supergroup of characters that aren't going to be played often, but then the base thing probably wouldn't be important to that group for that reason.
And if that alt should become your main for whatever AT, simply swap him in to the appropriate group for your previous main of that AT if you had one.
Just a thought anyway.

And a good thought at that!
Nooo... I spend equal time on my characters (ie I don't have a main). 
How sad is this:
Afro Storm - Monday and Thursday evenings.
Rocker - Wednesday evenings.
Antibody - Tuesday defenderteamup (7-9 or 10pm)
Rocket Girl - Tuesday and Friday evenings (minus Antibody session).
Triple Axel - Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the day.
COV - Tuesday and Thursday during the day.
Any of the above - Weekends.
This is my crazy method of trying to spread the time around. 
u missed atomic rocket of the list aswell 
That one I'm still trying to work into my schedule.

Seconded.
I mainly play Flitz or Lead Hose, switching between them when they level. All the rest are 'real' alts and get fitted in when I'm feeling villainous, need a break (epecially when grinding through the levels with Flitz) or only have a short time to play.
The guys on Deviant are the poor cousins with the highest being only lvl 5 or so.

VIGILANCE Captain Caledonia 20 - Yeah, I made toons on the French server coz we only had 4 back then (might have to transfer/recreate them on one of the US servers)
..and many more!
So, is this a vision for the Coaltion players (especailly referring to the 1ATs.) We remove the Alt Rangers and create an SG called the alternates (if it exists) which people can use to put addtional toons in if they want. YOu have to have someone in the coalition though. Theoretically every one should be able to have an alt in every group and may even be able to have extras in every SG too (the rangers are a bit crowded but once people hit 30 days out then they get kicked) so if anyone wants to keep their alt rangers then see if we can get them into the Rangers. DK has an alt in their so others can too.
I need to form a coalition with the other 1ATs for the RadRangers. We have the Rangers but not the other groups.
Gonna stick me neck out a bit here.
I've been thinking about the RadRangers, and is it really necessary that they have their own Super Group? Ultimately, its just another all-defender SG. Assuming they're going to be played as alts, the prestige you do earn may well end up being wasted if it goes the same way as the Alt Rangers. That prestige could well be useful for the SNHS when we do get our base sorted.
As there has been talk about consolidating 1AT SG's to make room as we are at/near the maximum Coalition size, it seems to me to be a bit of a step backwards to create an SG that could live happily in another SG.
If we do consolidate any SG's in the future it would end up being the RadRangers and the SNHS anyway.
However, its just a thought.

Maybe I'm just not fully awake this morning, but if you "have an alt in every group" (for me, 2 mains, 4 alts), who goes into the "SG called the alternates"?
CoX 50s: <ill/rad> <ice/ice> <fire/kin> <grav/sonic> <ice/storm> <earth/kin> <kin/elec> <cold/psy> <thugs/dark> <fire/dark> <dark/elec> <night widow> <EM/ninj> <mind/icy>
The only trouble I see happening for the Alt. SG would be not having enough space in it. 
I would suggest to simply keep going with the 5 1ATSGs (+khelds) for the time being (don't really know about the RadRangers - guess they could be folded into SNHS if space permits) while making sure that each SG enforces some rule about inactivity so that there are enough spaces for new players or "regular" alts.

I wouldn't mind if Luminous Green was folded into the SNHS as long as she gets RadRanger rank!

ranks on SNHS are still to be configured. as yet we havnt (Electrify can possible confirm this) come up with any customised ranks so maybe bringin the Rad Rangers into the SNHS with a seperate Rad Ranger rank could work.
Currently, we have Member, Lt, Architect, Commander and Architect. This could be messed about with without too many problems with one added for the RR.
However, as the SNHS only has at last count 7 coalitions, there is room for the RR's and the Kheldian SG's plus one other, so thats not really a problem at the moment for us.
Really, its up those in the RR's, in particular Doulos as its his idea. Either way, I have Atomify rolled and ready to go in whatever's decided (eventually! 3.5 lvls to go 
)

At the moment, the Overlords only have a coalition with the other 4 1ATSGs, so we could still add one with the RadRangers and the khelds.

Well, I'm not sure about Rad/SNHS merger, sorry folks, I get where your coming from but the Rads are designed to be something else. Also it would make confusion with the ethos of the Rads in that anyone can invite, edit message of the day and stuff and it being a purely forumite SG... it also effects where stories will appear in the future. However I understand that the SNHS is still relatively small and there is room for the 20 odd rad rangers and that Rankings need to be sorted out. The RadRangers are the RadRangers BECASUE of their blaster like abilities, and I think that most people accept that Rad/Rad is a very different build to anything else out there in the defender pools, thats the difference between the SNHS and the Rads I think, but at the same time the purist in me likes the idea of the 6ATs being in coalition, with a couple of others involved. So I think what I'm trying to say is lets think about it for a bit. What do other Rad Rangers think? If the SNHS was able to rearrange its ranking then it might work like this:
1. SNHS Bosses
2. Rad Rangers Bosses (same privaleges, leader is senior SLs?)
3. SNHS Members
4. Rad Rangers
5. Other people...
Us merging with the SNHS would bolster the numbers of the SG, make it more prestige earning (although we would loose out 300k ) and free up coalition slots in the rangers.
What do people think?
EDIT: Having just posted a manifesto on the RadRanger thread of how I envisage the group evolving I don't know if a merger between these 2 illustrious SGs would work... but a coalition is definitely a go-er.

Im not the leader of team GBH but every1 knows in the coalition knows that were probably the weakest SG in terms of regular players as theres only about 7-8 regular players.
So if u really need space for anotha SG in the coalition then im sure the regular members of team GBH will gladly merge with another SG in the 1 AT coalition.
[/ QUOTE ]
You know what we could kill two birds with one stone here the core and GBH could merge that way it solves the lack of memebers for both our S.G.s
Not only that, the Precision Raiders is set up for anyone who wants to drop their Alt or main into a PvP based SG, which will be a strike force to be called if things get tough in the PvP zones. All AT's welcome
As I posted last night it might be in the best interest of Armoured Core and Team GBH to join up. At the mo niether of us have a lot of members on line at any time so it make earning money for the base hard. Also us tanks are not that great in PvP due to our low damage out put and I do think we could become a force to feared in PvP base riads. And also it kinda makes sense as we are both Mele AT both have shields.
I think that its a good idea to merge the SGs as it will solve our problems with numbers. But seeing red said that he wont be online for the next couple of days so as soon as i talk it over with him we will sort something out with the two SGs

It also looks, from the lack of an opinion from the "other" all scrapper group and comments made today at the con that they might/should loose a spot too.
