Maltese Laws Wrote:§2-2-4 Trespassing the GRAVEYARD in the Siniestre Cloud is unforgivable. Pass through warrants one warning prior to termination.
Attempt to loot the graves, results in immediate execution.
Just to say.
Don't try to kill junkers just because you have a personal and special interpretation of your own laws.
You were in that nebula without outcast escort which is required to make sure you do not go to the graveyard, since you had none, you were shot. You might have come from beta and went straight to Valetta, or you could have taken a detour to the graveyard first. Since there was no one to verify your innocence, you are assumed to be guilty, as all others are when they are caught coming from the cloud.
I think your cardamine consumption is being excessive, because it's so easy to check that...
- The most simple, check the path of the ship, if comes in a straight line directly from Beta Jump Hole... done, it isn't guilty!
- Check the cargo of the ship, if doesn't have any outcast weapon... done, it isn't guilty!
- Put a simple scanner near the graveyard and you will get information about the violators of your laws.
The Sigma19-Beta-Alpha way is the primary line of supply YOU have, if you force the situation and you force the Junkers to pass by two systems controlled by an hostile army (Tau-29 and Tau-23, controlled by the kusarian forces and the gallic forces) you will stop receiving these important shipments and you will have to find the parts yourself to make your ships.
Think about it, you're not the only ones who need that supplies, and not the only ones who pay very well for it.
As I said before, you are assumed to be guilty, as you could have circled back before exiting the nebula, and even going near the graveyard is punishable, even if you did not take anything. Also, we will not put a scanner near the graveyard and disrespect the dead. Lastly, The areas you mentioned as hostile have equally hostile areas on your route. Last I checked, KNF was in S-19, as they are in T-29, and T-23's asteroid field can easily be used to your advantage; even if the enemy is too powerful, you have access to Cali, where you can wait for the enemy to leave. I have spoken to several congressmen, and they all agreed that you were where you shouldn't have been.
Well, seems that it's the first time you leave Malta, because you don't know to whom belong the systems around your home.
Sigma-19 is controlled by the GMG, like Sigma-13, and the Junkers have no problem with them. Of course we need to be cautious to not be seen jumping into Omicron Beta, because they will not like it, but nothing more, even is a short run. It's very different to cross two systems full of enemies, a long run in cruise.
As I said before, is your choice. If you don't trust in a friend of the Outcast nation, the Bannockburn and the Blas de Lezo will not return to Valetta, other people are interested in our shipments, and other junkers will do the same.
You can try to make your ships with cardamine flowers, but I think that your capital ships will be more easy to destroy.
It would be great to know who these "other junkers" are, otherwise you just made an empty threat. As I said earlier, I discussed this with the congress, which your ship is not registered with, and they agreed you were where you shouldn't have been. I highly doubt anyone else will choose to go elsewhere, especially not the congress, as our offering price is so tempting. They also are willing to respect our customs and take the "more dangerous route," so your claims that we will be starved of scrap and will be unable to sell our cardamine are laughable at best.
