my favorite run goes through Bertonia. I have been successfully pirated 1 time. i can count the number of times people have tried and failed to pirate me on one hand. if im sleepy and just need to make some cash without any threat to my profit, i do this run. i don't even see very many other traders, and the profit is maybe 10k less then the diamond run, comon people, 10k isn't that much. if i want some excitment i do the diamond run.
i love the idea of a clockwise and counter clockwise loop through sirius, and i even know of a few but they are not very balanced right now. the other problem with this is it leaves out the OCs and Corsairs. I am not smart enough to figure that problem out, sorry.
back on the origional topic:
my issue is that the UoG shouldn't be in the Libery Resistance anyway, maybe a "Corsir Killing" one but they shouldn't be in a meta-clan dedicated to killing LSF/SA. I can see them being allied to the LR, sharing info and technology and such, and the OCCASIONAL military aid, but very limited aid. should trips out of ZoI be limited to GB or lower?
and technically my ZoI as a RoS member doesn't belong in Gamma or wherever crete is (430am, sorry) because there are no NPCs there that I have seen, but still, it would be REALLY boring for me otherwise.
I avoid NY like its the plague, in all my characters, except maybe my RoS one, but still, i don't go there on a whim (even though there are OC NPCs there) because its riddiculas the amount of harrasment i get, and its just a crazy place to be. it seriously annoys me. when i first joined RoS there was a huge RoS/Corsair battle above Crete and it was a LOT of fun, but because before that i had stuck to the house systems I didn't know such things happened. Now that im out of NY this game has improved 10x over what it was before (which was really good). People, there is a whole wonderful galaxy custom built for you curtisy of Igiss. go discover it.
edit: this is like a harly sized post, im sorry OH NO!!! IM INFECTED!!!!
