I can't see a set of biodomes sustaining a large number of people, I can see them providing much more of a surplus than the needs required for the stations, e.g. The Freeports, otherwise they'd be dead already.
The Cambridge food runs are a logical step for The Corsairs, and they'd almost certainly provide a good percentage of the requirements, though eventually, doesn't the Corsairs need to find sustainable food supplies without raiding?
Hmm, an idea... Joint Bowex/Synth Food convoy in Cambridge, Corsairs jump in... the thought appeals. To skype!

I just want clarification on something.
the corsair long-term plan is to become a lawful house with a stable supply of commodities for their populace. the reputation is slowing it down, though.

I have an appetite for what 4.86 will bring us.

What do you mean I should know better? It's like this anything bad will happen if I say we have biodomes. This is OORP chat.
As for cannibalism, I'm pretty sure that it's no longer implemented. Corsairs need food, but they're not that desperate anymore.

I would eventually like to see the Corsairs become lawful as well.
Carlos Rivera: Corsair Brotherhood Pirate - Retired, shifted to Tripoli Shipyard's Research and Development engineering teams Anthony Cameron: Guild Core Bounty Hunter - Killed in Action, committed suicide after being trapped in Omicron Minor following its destruction Juan Ruiz: Outcast Ghost of Razgriz Pirate - Killed in Action, killed by the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army during Bretonian piracy raid Michael Winchester: Liberty Security Force Agent - Missing in Action, likely killed during Rheinland espionage mission or trapped in Rheinland Space Eric McCormick: Order Pilot - Retired, shifted to planetside training of new recruits
Wouldn't it be very difficult for The Corsairs to become lawful after centuries of isolation, then another of raiding and pillaging? How could they ever reconcile with the other Houses, or for that matter, factions they've been waging unrelenting war with?

We could always win the wars.:)
But the relations would come more with houses we haven't been mercilessly pirating.
Like Liberty, Kusari, Gallia...
those places.
Well, Corsairs get their food currently mostly from Samura or their puppets, such as FA or the Hogosha. Junkers and unaffiliated Corsair smugglers of course don't miss the chance to earn some artifacts on Crete. Those're the most often ones. Gaians, freelancers, Cryer, IMG, Liberty Rogues are among the less likely guys.
As for Zoners, they aren't interested in supplying someone with purpose, that's what I think.
As for Crete soil, I think Crete surface had Greece in mind, thus lack of fertile land. To fix it up, Corsairs need to run some terraforming proccesses, which they can do (if Sylpheed's Rogues stole the best engineers in the Sirius, why can't Sairs take a couple of scientists from Camridge?), but can't, as it'll change them too significantly, especially for our devs. Current relations with Kusari are another choice, as well as agressive attempt to retake Camridge or Stuttgart.
Relationship with Synth Foods would be one more interesting option, however current Synth Foods is dead, unfortunately.
Corsairs aren't numerable - at least I haven't seen any rumour suggesting that, and if people are hungry all the time, I think they're not going to make children like rabbits - especially if they're unable to feed them.

This is both true and untrue.
The Corsair's do have numbers (it's their advantage to counter the Outcasts longevity and greater skill/reactions) but they keep dying off.
Firstly, the coming-of-age ritual for every Corsair pilot involves flying an unshielded fighter into a radiation cloud, which can lead to either A) death or B) infertility.
Secondly, they die. A lot. two wars and two offensive actions require a lot of bodies, regardless of your pilot's awesome warrior skills.
Unfortunately for the Corsairs of Continuum, the moon of Crete had an orbital decay and eventually hit Crete itself, killing everyone who didn't had a viable way to escape the catastrophic event. Corsairs in Continuum will work hard to survive. Oh yeah. Gamma is a wasteland now.
The corsairs not having food for all of them, and yet they spam caps. Very unrealistic.

I was referring to the Gamma bio dome. The number of times you must have flown past it to get to or from Theta for example in either your BH or Corsair. It had nothing to do with metagaming, merely surprise.
