Does unlawful gold have to go to depot and lawful gold to planets? Or it doesn't matter?

Yes. So buying from any pob under the Bretonia-allied means you sell at the planets, buying from the Molly-allied pobs means you sell at the depots.

[Lord Chaos]

enlist PoBs Isle of Skye and Fortitudine please.

I'll fire a Dunkirk at South Shields the zaptosecond IMG| comes to me and asks to be outlawed as I don't want to just throw that faction L after L after L. Before then, I will treat IMGs in Bretonia dealing with Mollys as mere opportunists and I encourage others to do much the same.

Even if IMG| was set hostile to Bretonia that wouldn't set the NPC faction hostile as player diplomacy isn't NPC diplomacy anymore.

[Petitioner]

I understand it's probably a little too late for this sort of feedback, but given that the Crown constantly sidelines Gateway for contracts and Gateway is allied to the IMG, would it be possible to switch Gateway from the Bretonian side to the "neutral" side as IMG is? Rogues could then be swapped to the Molly side, as it truly makes no sense for Rogues to be "neutral" given that they are allied to the Mollys, have been since vanilla, and can't even land at the lawful sellpoints anyway. I also certainly don't think that BMM modular station administrators would ever reasonably let Rogues dock with their installations, so having the Rogues be "neutral" here makes no sense especially given that the event plugin does not support cargo piracy (directly, at least).

It would make far more gameplay and roleplay sense for Gateway to be able to run both lawful and unlawful routes, and for the Rogues to be restricted to unlawful ones.

Rogues were already unlawful, that was just a "visual bug", apologies.

Gateway basically don't get the benefit of neutrality because they're a House corp with a registered fleet (aka 5K transport access). This is a similar issue as Freelancers not being allowed the L'ane and Pirate Transport (which I'm still a bit salty about due to SEO). Lawfuls aren't able to "punish" people from doing something illegal in House space, which in the case of Gateway is running the blockade for Mollys. But Bretonia trusts them so much that they're exempt from the Dublin embargo rules, so unless someone sees one undocking from an enemy POB, their hands are tied.

Since not everyone would be using Gateway to smuggle, those who do get the "unfair" advantage of the substantially bigger unlawful bonus. If someone was actually playing the faction and interacting with the Mollys and fending off BPA inrp, we'd probably make an exception here. But at the moment it's mainly theoretical, which unfortunately isn't enough for an exception.

[TheSauron]

Gateway is a lawful corporation with no ties to any criminal groups. There's even a nice rumour for that on Freistadt, from a Hessian. I'll quote it here:

Some of the Bretonian shipping boys on this base aren't bad fellows; just trying to make a living, I suppose. Too bad they choose the wrong line of work. I might have beer or two with them in the bar, but it won't stop me from blowing a hole their ship out in the void.

Same attitudes apply for the Mollys. If the IMG should not be working with the Crown because of old beefs, then Gateway should absolutely not be working with people who actively murder their employees.

What I expected to happen, happened. Just more of the same. Give Dublin a second actual exit already that BAF won't be camping 50% of the time.

[Barrier]

After additional discussion regarding the Corsairs, they will now be also included in the trade part of the config (along with any Junker collaborators). As usual, you must register a pob for the config to apply, but in this case the POB must be Corsair-owned, and located in Dublin. The bonus is the same as for the Bretonian lawful side, and is only collectable at Crete.
