bhg core feedback (just kidding this is the old core| feedback lol!)

[jammi]

A point about Iridium: Iridium also existed when the BHG was financing the Core, so presumably any exports the Core/APM were running for the Zoners would count as an ongoing revenue stream that would have been factored into the budget. My point is, no new revenue streams have been introduced to replace the shortfall. You're the same Core, but missing a massive chunk of your revenue, and your response hasn't really adequately addressed that.

APM selling ships, sure, but bare in mind that the Core is APM's biggest customer due to the purchasing of capital ships. One Mako is worth dozens, if not hundreds of gun or snub sales. You can't fund yourself with the money you're paying to yourself. Beyond that, the next biggest customer is the BHG, who presumably would be buying snubs and guns. Snubs and guns don't really fund an entire paramilitary / empire (based on your faction writeup).

And Lyth, even if you do contact House corps in-game, that still wouldn't be enough to be considered a 'stable' supply line for actual lore purposes. The Omicrons are way too far out of most corps' standard operations areas and far too dangerous for it to be worthwhile for them. At the end of the day, the Core's only real option for consistent supplies is the Zoners, a fact you seem to be attempting to circumvent by any means necessary in order to allow the Core to strongarm them without any consequences.

As for AFK accusations, honestly, for the people throwing that around it's a case of put up or shut up. Logging in to RP with one another, do missions, farm Nomads or simply generate activity in order to stimulate the region is absolutely fine. If they are actually just logging ships and leaving them in space that's ridiculously easy to prove. If you can't prove it, then it's slander for its own sake. Something to mull over.
