Independant Miners Guild

[chopper]

Alright, few quick notes over here. I don't like your naming conventions.
To be specific, AoE, AoT AoRandomletters, as you like to say it.
Too complicated for someone to remember all of that.

Your ZOI.. Well, your ZOI can be pretty much anywhere, but only if there aren't other mining factions there already.
You are explorers as well, you are exploring deep space to find more rich systems.
You can't just limit yourselves to something you already have - IMG always wants more, as well as any other mining faction (example - GMG).

Orkney is south-west of Java station. It's empty, but it can be used to get to Edinburgh really quickly.
To do this you have to go trough Lewis as well, which is a Gaian guard.
And I'm not sure they like us using that route.

About Corsairs, I have my own personal opinion.
Now, look at the IMG. It's not a corporation, it's a guild.
That means random miners join it because they want their independence from corporations but they still want to be protected.
What does this exactly means?
That means IMG members in Tau-23 are pretty much people from Kusari/Brettonia.
IMG members in Magellan 4 are pretty much from Liberty/Brettonia.
IMG members from Freistadt are pretty much from Rheinland/Brettonia.
Hood - Brettonians.. Etc.. You catch the drift.
My point here is - they are not united under one single leadership.
So, it is reasonable for Freistadt Miners to have completely different diplomacy then Java miners.
Freistadt miners are also friendly/neutral to Hessians, since their families are on freistadt.
That doesn't mean that whole IMG is friendly to them. It's not - they are Outcast allies.
So - you can say that local miners are unfriendly with the local Corsairs, but you can't say that ALL miners are unfriendly with ALL corsairs.
It is completely reasonable for Tau miners to have some kind of arrangement with the Corsairs - mutual pact against Outcasts.
It makes sense, it really does. Freistadt Miners don't care, they are still unfriendly to local raiding Corsair parties.
And they also don't care about IMG/KNF relationship, as it doesn't affect them.
It affects only Tau IMG.

In RP, you can split local Corsairs and Corsair leadership rather easy.
Independent Corsairs can be local Corsairs - and thus threat to you in Omega systems.
Faction Corsairs (TBH/Benitez) can be Corsair leadership - which you are not hostile with.

I'm a little sleepy over here, I have no idea if my explanation about IMG/Corsairs makes any sense.
I know it does to me.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.

Can't let you bash folks in your sig Chopper-Del
