Bretonia Mining & Manufacturing Feedback

[jammi]

Just another thing to point out: BMM and Bowex doesn't have to worry about supplying or protecting themselves in Delta. The BHG Core invited both of us there, are housing us on their base and have promised us protection with their local patrols.

The inRP reasoning for this happening is Bowex's fault. We paid the BHG to spy on OSI, because we wanted to know where they were getting the iridium they were delivering to us. This meant we got an inRP report on the entire route to FP11 and back. Bowex sent out a Clydesdale expedition to check if the route was safe, and ran into a BHG Core ship.

They're looking to secure their supply line, so they contacted Bowex with a contract for the delivery of goods. In exchange for the goods, we'd receive escorts and protection during our operations out that way, and access to their iridium fields. In order to get at those, we needed to involve BMM. Technically, we could have done it ourself because there's no mining yield bonuses for anyone on Iridium, but we felt it'd be better RP to call in BMM.

This also means a more diverse selection of players is involved. That's three factions instead of two. Five if you include the Corsair and Order interest this is going to draw. Maybe six if you bundle in the Zoners too. That's a lot more activity for what was otherwise a currently dead system.

In any case, the BHG doesn't really lose anything through this deal. If the Bretonians get wiped out, they shrug their shoulders and go back to their old supply sources. If it works, they've got a new supply line and they can unload various anti-Order propaganda onto the unsuspecting merchants, who'll willingly carry it home.

By all means, help stop this inRP. Station some Corsairs on Yarren, or something.
