For Samura that is True, but for Hogosha that would be a whole Different thing.

The Hogosha are very much a quasi-legal group almost directly sponsored by Samura. Samura directly makes their ships for their personal use. If you think a fight with the Hogosha is going to go better for you than it is for them then you're very much mistaken,

That includes your faction.

Therefore it also makes perfect sense to grant them access to Amaterasu. Get over it and chill.

okay another Reminder that Hogosha is DEPENDANT ON ORBITAL. One of the Main surce of income if not THE Main surce of Income for Hogosha is the ARTIFACT Trade on the Hawaii. If we would Simply Forbidd them to Trade with Artifacts on our Liner then you would be BANCRUPT in no time.

It would be like if the outcasts Put the GC on the RED LIST.

Yes, there is one reason why they use your Hawaii as a place to exchange artifacts - because it was the only non-GMG base in Sigmas, which is not true anymore with new Corsair bases in the region. You don't have any other role in the deal.

There exists delicate balance but practically nothing prevents them from deciding it's not too convenient to trust their direct competitor and take over Hawaii and just deal with Corsairs directly under new management. And nothing you will do about it.

GOD DAMNIT LUCAS

Do you know how much I wanted full blown Luxury Wars? Samura bombing liners out in the sigmas would make some truly engaging news posts. Curacao declaring "vengeance" on Kusari, Naval Forces ambushing shuttles, all with a running back and forth smear campaign over who's vacation service is "safer". It would be the most engaging storytelling since the Spyglass at least, and if done right this Luxury War could be up there with the Tundra or the Necrosis.

I hate you pacifists, defusing situations when an escalated situation could be so much more interesting. Argument defusers take all the potential out of the game.
