Xeno alliance with the Corsairs? - Derkylos - 05-10-2009
Hardly think Liberty is neutral to Corsairs...ask anyone in the LN about that...
As for Xenos getting a piece of the artifact trade...from where to where, exactly? Sure, they could pick them up on Ames, Nome (assuming they let on where it is), FP 2 and Barrow (again, assuming they pass on the knowledge), but where, exactly are they going to be selling them?...

Well, the olive branch is always extended with the Junkers. They'd give up a share in the artifact trade in exchange for getting the swarms of Rocs away from camping Beaumont.
Xenos just gotta take a step back is all.

Xeno: Think you're shuttling the LPI's prison factory goods to supply those filching Brets? Not on my watch.
Junker: IM NEUTRAL
Xeno: Drop the cargo, all of it, or I drop you
Junker: STOP IM NEUTRAL
Xeno: This is your last chance, attempt to flee again and down you go
Junker: STOP
Junker: STOP
Junker: STOP
Junker: IM NEUTRAL STOP
Junker: *exploded*
Disclaimer: This is a broad generalization intended to paint over my own flaws in roleplaying with Junkers and incite a flame war. :P
*coughs*
Tee hee. :D
Xenos are welcome to murderize those Junkers all day long. I'm surprised more "neutral" Junker traders haven't gone off and screamed at the Congress for its random bits of piracy against factions like the =CR=. Such actions invite reprecussions toward the faction as a whole, which is nice as too many people use the tag as a magic 'can't touch me' button.
Granted, the real reason the Congress is being a bit more jackass-ish in their securing their place in the smuggling food chain is that we're bored. We've gotten a lot of new toys in this mod and only now are starting to get them balanced and bugchecked because we have so little opportunity to use them.

All speculation.
THAT'S IT! The Battleship Fes in the Omega 47 system is one of the sell points for Black Market Munitions, which is in high demand on Ouray. There's a reason for a Corsair/Xeno alliance. Trading guns and stuff. Umm... yeah. Corsairs get money, Xenos get guns. lulz.

Well we can pay them with hugs.

Joke all you want, we'll be waiting at Rochester for the Black Widow & Tizona packing Eagle swarms. You know they'll come once one guy is seen around with that setup. Junker players have been wary of Corsair allies since 4.84 brought us Catamaran-flying, Colada-shooting Hogosha.

*grins* Don't worry mate, if anything like that -actually- happened I'd raise a hellstorm the likes of which have never been seen.
When we signed the Order deal on my watch I was emphatic that there would be absolutely zero equipment swapping. It was a 100% RP deal. No Titans with widows, no Xenos with Order lasers, no Xenos in Order Bomb...
*thinks*
Maybe one Xeno in an Order Bomber.
*goes off to the special RP section, cackling to himself*
No, but really. This is speculative. I don't see it happening anytime soon. I'd like, if anything, for the Order relationship to maybe be at least given a token nod following the initial work that went into it. Let alone a paradigm shift of getting in bed with some folks.

That takes a load off my mind, Dusty.
I'll be honest, I've been grumbling over 'technology sharing' since I did something foolish and told everyone to burn everything on their ships that isn't Junker or Civilian. Not every faction is as neutral and thus there's a bit more flexibility, but the odd individual who takes things just a bit too far on the side of "I am friends with these two factions so I get one's guns and another's ship, it just so happens that they're both good stats and it's nothing to do with pvp at all, really" gets a few hackles raised.
Add it to the frustration of hearing reports of bad endings resulting from chasing Eagles with Collectors and you get a very paranoid, very irritable faction leader.
I'd give it my blessing as it'd open up a whole new avenue of RP with the Corsairs, if that condition applied that there would be no WidowCid Mamorus playing whack-a-mole with every Junker that dares to log in.

Not to mention that a Xenos - Corsair alliance may attract the local lout's in Gamma who believe pewpewing eachother in broad daylight is "training"
We would have lolsair Xenos Indies running around with Colada Del Widows and Eagles thinking the "Xenos Terrorist ID" lets them shoot anything that moves.

Yeh it would be oorp and cause evern more oorp. And with the current lolwuts in gamma this would not exactly help.
