Hello all, just a very quick question with (probably) a very quick answer: what is a GAC? (I own Dirtside but not Stargrunt)

Yeah, I looked it up... He asked about one abbreviation and got two more back. Looked a bit funny, no offence ment what so ever.

He asked about one abbreviation None taken! ;-) The reason the original poster couldn't identify the GAC is that it's not in Dirtside, only Stargrunt; the MDC and RFAC are both explained in Dirtside, so I assumed they would be understood! Aren't TLA s (or FLAs in the RFAC case) wonderful? ;-)
