I have a question. I also have a dream... but that is not what i came here to say... well... okay sorta i did. My question is why everyone is concerned about our intentions about taking the fringe and independant systems? What are you gonna use them for? And I also understand that some of you are concerned about how those systems are close to yours, and as a result you dont want me having it. But my answer is that we have no intention of invading any government/faction controlled systems as in Liberty, Kusari, Bretonia, and Rheinland. RM and us have already have had a confrentation, about a stupid thing i might add, and they have seen we have no intention of invading even though Warmaker opened fire on us. Yes, we will fight back if attacked but will focus on defense as long as the system we are fighting is not an Independant or Fringe system. And the more systems we have the lower the taxes will be depending on how much fighting we had to do to get the system in question. If you guys leave us alone you will have a much smaller tax rate becuase we have so many that we will have a lot of people comin and going that it'd spread out and not really cost anyone much. Though if the fighting cost us alot of money we will have to have higher taxes to cope with the money we must spend on repairs and replacement parts, which cost alot especially cap-ship parts. So the thing is this you leave us alone we leave you alone, now how is that a threat?
I think Dab what most people are worried about is the Fact you will be in control of 13+ systems, and you will be basically everywhere, In between the houses, and on all major trade routes, I don't know, Most people i know don't want to pay, To Travel in btween the houses..

We want to be in the middle systems. And the taxes only apply to traders and battleships and you can pay for a few days in advance so we dont have to bother you for a few days. You only have to pay once a day so its really not that much. And wouldn't you guys be glad we are in-between you guys in case a war broke out they wouldnt be able to go through us without buying their way through in which it would cost more becuase we are allowing faction fights in our systems, and this will discourage people from going straight t you and having top go around. plus if anyone wants help against another faction we will always have someone near which can come to the last-minute rescue :D. everall if noone minds us being there, there will be less wars as invading our space to get to their enemies space will get them in trouble with us as well which might cause us to retaliate and them not ever even make it to their enemy before they are either all-together destroyed or have lost some of the people in which case either way they will lose. So as long as we are still neutral you guys have more to gain then lose from us being a go-between. We will also be protecting traders from pvp if they have payed their taxes.
Im sorry if i seem a little talketive today but im sitting at my dads in the middle of nowhere and getting really bored.
Hey dab, what I meant when I said you were a threat is that you charge taxes, and in my book no faction should have that right. And because you want to do this, personally I can't let you hold any of the inner independant systems as taxes would not promote trade. Also it wsa news to me that the taxes are exclusively for traders and cap ships, I thought they applied to everyone, but my main point still remains, if you want the inner systems you cannot charge taxes.

Well we might reduce taxes to 1/3 of what they are right now for middle as they are traveled so much. The reason that only traders and cap-ships pay and not fighters is becuase fighters dont really hold that much with them and it just seemed reasonable, I thank korrd for the idea for only cap-ships and traders.
