Corsair - Zoner

[Klaw117]

What makes it even worse (we did just fine with the outcast raids) is that we have nowhere to raid back.
Where do we go to raid Hessians? Raid the Mandalorians? Raid the Reavers?
Where exactly do they spend time in analogous to Gamma?
Omega -7?
Pfft then we face IMG+Hessians+RM+Kruger+Mercs, hardly fit for a raid of any sourt.
As for spending time in the OMegas.......what does one do in Omicron Theta? In omega-41? In any of the omegas besides 3 and 7 besides sit around and wait and wait and wait.
The hessians don't spend any more time there than we do, the SCRA doesn't have any indies so they're little more than 20 (if that many) guys, Das wilde is another small faction, the Phantoms are gone, even the Zoners don't go down to Porto Novo or spend much time in -49.............
There's no trade there, and those systems are all out of the direct route from Gamma to the pirating systems and Rheinland, so there's no activity.

I think the Hessians are usually in Omega-54, so it's pretty hard to fight them in their own guard system. The same probably goes for the SCRA since I would expect Omega-52 to be equivalent to a guard system. I'm not sure about that though since I haven't been in Omega-52 in a long time. It's very hard to pinpoint the exact location of Hunters and mercenaries, so it's very hard to raid them as well.

The only ones we really can raid are the Outcasts in Omicron Alpha. However, in my experience, Outcasts tend to be sore losers. The last time I led a raid into Omicron Alpha, we kicked their butts, but then they march in to the southern Omicrons, repair any radiation damage at Freeport 9, and then start shooting back at us. That's fine and all, but then they turned that into a four hour long battle by dragging in the Hessians and a bunch of mercenaries. I think even the SCRA got involved at some point. In the end, despite our victory, the whole thing became more annoying than enjoyable and someone (Grimly I think) raged about it on the forums several months ago.

Plus, there's a general consensus that Corsair-Outcast battles should move back to the Sigmas, although that hasn't happened yet. I've also yet to see Corsair-Hessian battles move back into the Omegas even though they probably should. Can someone remind me why these haven't happened yet?
