' Wrote:I can't speak for the others, but as far as I understand the Hessian diplomatics, they get support from the IMG.

Welcome to discovery, where angry miners can build their own brand-new battleships.
Meh, IMHO the Jormungand was one of the biggest mistakes in 4.86.

Oh hello rwx.
IMG takes the Molly gold and the Hessian diamonds (not the red ones) and sells them to lawful markets. That's actually a large part of the "GDP" of those 2 unlawfuls groups. Now if we add piracy and some other sources of income for the Hessians and Mollys (they have small industries in their Guard systems - remember), they probably have the resources to build mediocre capital ships.
