Corsairs in Kusari

[Carlos_Benitez]

Ok. Here's the deal as far as I am concerned.

The Corsairs have a right to pirate Bretonia and Rheinland. Omega and Sigma systems are also fair game. This also means that on occasion, it is reasonable to see some Corsairs in Honshu (on rare occasion).
On very rare occasion, it also seems reasonable that the Corsairs could visit their allies (Hogosha, Farmers Alliance) deeper in Kusari, but personally, I would say they should not be conducting any pirate or militant activity whilst there, and should leave as soon as their business is complete.
I see no reason for Corsairs to be seen in Kyushu; they'd be completely cut off from normal ZOI. I don't condone Corsairs entering this area of space which is many systems away from Corsair territory.

An exception to normal treatment of ZOIs is of course invasion. I see no reason for the Corsairs to want to invade Kusari, the only house they are not openly hostile with. Invasions of Blood Dragon territory need not involve entering Kusari space (nb. Chugoku is not controlled by the Kusari govt.).

A rule I try to follow is what might be called the "inverse square law". That is, the further from a radiation source, or an object with gravitational pull, the less the effect of the radiation/the weaker the gravitational field strength.
In real terms, I mean that the further a mission takes us away from Gamma, the smaller the ships we use. A Titan in Honshu is, for example, far less OORP than an Osiris in Honshu.
