Community Tutorial: Why would you want to fly a ---------- ID?

[Highland Laddie]

Code:

The Gateway Shipping ID is good for players looking to earn money and have more of that "underdog" feel.  Being a non-government corporation, you have a bit more diplomatic privilege than other House corporations, which also gives you a large trading range (pretty much every House except Gallia, unless you plan to trade with Gallic revolutionaries, as well as good relations with Zoners, Colonials, and Junkers).

You also have close ties to the Independent Miners Guild, which gives you plenty of opportunities to trade in ores, whereas you may find it more difficult to get some mining factions like Daumaan, Kruger, and BMM to mine for you.

An added bonus for those who are PvP-oriented; you can also do pirating/profiteering against Bowex ships outside of House space, and may also attack Gallic corporations outright anywhere you find them.    

The key to playing as Gateway is to first go wherever the money is.  You want your cut of the action, and you're not afraid to knock out some teeth to get it.
Don't be afraid to bump a competitor's ship out of the way, or maybe knock down the trade lane behind you if someone is riding your tail.  Just make sure the cops aren't watching when you do.  

Your simplest train of wealth is going to be found running goods between Bretonia and Liberty, but there are plenty of money-making opportunities waiting in Rheinland and Kusari as well.  Tagging along on IMG convoys and mining expeditions is also a worthwhile investment.  Cortez and Omega-3 are going to be your two main hotspots for pirating Bowex, while Dublin, Leeds, and the Taus are good for going after Gallic corporate ships.  ~Highland Laddie

Here's one for Gateway.
