View: Give LPI 5K Access - Lemon - 05-25-2022
Liberty police Incorporated is a, well Corporation, large parts of their operation are Consumer and other goods produced and mined by criminals and de-facto legalised slave labour. So my question is ...
5k transport access when?

My question is: Will it be useful to the LPI? I understand the fact they are a corporation but still they don't trade ore.

LPI should be using liners and armored transports, not large transport vessels with little to no defense. Leave the latter as a job for the other corporations which can be easily hired to do the heavy hauling.

I mean really? A liner for a shipment of T-shirts? By a corp that withdraws food and water from it's labour as a standard discipline measure?

In Practice? Actual players? Not so much, so far. That and ID becoming too strong are the main arguments against this.

Regardless of its lore, LPI is a police faction, not a trading faction. And yes, a greedy corporation would outsource transportation of its produce to the cheapest bidder.

tfw Great Value Navy wants 700 more cargo space to make themselves feel better.

5Kers should be only for shipping corporations, change my mind

And there are too many factions / corporations with access to 5K'ers.
Police factions should not have access in my opinion.
Their job isn't to haul items. Their job is to stop the hauling of illegal items.

Quote:"Even though the name of our company uses the word "police" in its title, I'm more of a factory manager than a law enforcement officer. I'm more concerned with squeezing all the production I can out of the miscreant workers here. Usually they are more inspired to work if I hold back their Food Rations for a day or two. That always helps boost productivity."
And yes it would, but between their own controlled spaces with existing logistical infrastructure, like say Texas and Manhattan - it'd be way more efficient to use in house shipping
