Story line Notice: Player Driven Event

[Benjamin]

I don't know all the lore information, for the most part I just have Kruger characters that as a faction died and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. But why wouldn't Rheinland have reverse engineered the tradelanes and DHC possibly be able to work the lanes? Gallia reverse engineered the lanes.

Why would Rheinland want the support of any Liberty company except for food stuffs. Rheinland has Repex to do its own shipping. I think in times of war nations aren't bickering over who owes what, that is all settled in the peace talks and reperations. Allowing your enemies companies in your border is a good way for spies to get around and report military weaknesses or build ups.

As I said at the beginning, I just shoot rocks under a Kruger ID and thats my two cents. On another note, why does the rheinland government only make deals for DHC mined ore w/ IC and now Agiera and not include Kruger mined ore? Seems like the goverment of Rheinland truly abandoned Kruger. *laughs* Hessians are unemployed miners? Umm.. Maybe I am unemployed and should take up arms too.

There's a lot of stuff about the security of gate/lane parts, how it's unbreakable, nothing's ever gone missing etc. It's all locked away and secured afaik, can't just go poking around your lanes to see what's up. Gallia only did it due to the benefit of it being non-vanilla, where literally anything can happen and it's fine.

Rheinland has Republican for its shipping. However -
Gate/lane stuff, only DSE and Ageira know what's going on there. Medicine? That all comes from Cryer. Also you may have noticed a planet in Stuttgart owned by a Liberty company too. And Interspace is afaik owed grossly huge sums by Rheinland: they need it to keep their budget in semi-respectable shape. Republican can take stuff from A to B, and that's why there's no need for USI in Rheinland. But most of the niche/novelty/specific corps are from Liberty, and everyone needs that stuff. It's not ideal, but it's part of having enormously huge corporations with insane power. It's not that Rheinland wants to support them, it's that it needs what they offer.

Don't know the specifics of Rheinland ignoring Kruger, seems like a player thing? They're definitely a 'sunset' corporation, but afaik still getting govt subsidies (if they still happen) and generally approved of by the state and definitely not dead yet. But yeah I'm guessing the Kruger>Hessian jobswitching is pretty high.
