St.Denis: bringing goods into Liberty those are clearly from Rheinland origin still counts as blockade running, am I right (no, I'm not, but still)? It does not matter whether you haul it through Bretonia or not, LN will pop you for "supporting Rheinland" (as it happened to me quite a few times when I was hauling Nuclear Devices back in 4.86, into Liberty through Bretonia). Or they were just trolls.
The hauling of Nuclear devices in Liberty is totally restricted without prior permission. So any attacks would/should have been based on this premise. They could have been from Kusari Space and you would have still been stopped.
Quote:Still, this arises a few questions: how can the not very lawful factions get these goods? I mean Corsairs, Outcasts, Order. Yes, Freelancers can supply them, but what about Xenos? They don't really like freelancers, and inRP they would never buy a commodity from an other House. For example, they can get it only in an ooRP way (as of yet).
As far as I know Corsairs, Outcasts and Order have fairly reasonable relations with the Junkers. The Junkers are seen throughout Sirius, including Gallia, hauling a multitude of Commodities. Zoners/OSI spring to mind as well as their relations are fairly friendly/neutral with all of the above.
The plight of the Xenos is a difficult one as they seem to dislike anything foreign. Maybe they should say that 'sometimes you must make a pact with the Devil to achieve what you want' and turn a blind eye to where certain Commodities come from. I suppose the Purists amongst them will/should not build Bases. There again do they know where every Commodity comes from?
'I would like to be half as clever as some people like to believe they are' Life is full of disappointments, it is how we handle them that helps to define us, as a person
