Harvester

[wrathkin]

Three, the Order has many bombers. The Harvesters have many capships, FTGW did the math and its better not to fight them. Now every ZOner we cross has been harvested, with the exception of the elites(players) who are a cut above the rest and more wily. Now while the elites may talk it seems few individual ZOners have the political clout to represent all ZOners and build binding military agreements with the Order or GMG. I may be wrong but, I think of their agreements as sort of convienent and "just how it happened".

The agreement with the Order is steady enough to have a secret super-protected research lab together. Also, even if the alliance would be shaky, machines that harvest humans should be enough to put any Order member in a bloody rage. Therefore, the Order should be hostile wether the FTGW wants it or not. To not have them hostile( NPCs) would be metagaming. I'd like the Bs| to chime in here, though.

The Corsairs, I think are a proud and ruthless race. I think some would accept it while others would not.
/---/
We eat their foes, and give them free stuff and FTGW respects the Elder councils request so, we earn thier non interferance. Not to mention we are not to hunt ZOners in the orbit of Crete. They may change the terms, thats their system to do so. Then we will adapt.

Well, my main beef here is with the Corsairs that ally with you, really. They _should_ consider all freeports closed to them from the moment the alliance with the Harvesters became known, since they have allied with the only enemy the Zoners have.

From a Zoners in-rp perspective: The Corsairs don't like us here, but they need us and are not strong enough to defeat us head on, especially with the BHG staging from the FP:s. Now, some Corsairs suddenly ally with the machie-enteties that wish to destroy us all. Well, use the first weapon of Zoners - close the Freeport, cease trade. No way a few harvesters can replace the food and meds that the Zoners no longer deliver - in your description, the Harvesters don't even really trade, only land to 'digest' the cargo - so in that case, no deliveries at all.

If the Harvester _do_ claim to supply the Corsairs instead of the Zoners, I want Harvester food/med/supply convoys I can hunt :)

Who sells fuel to the Harvesters/Corsairs? GMG is a Zoner ally. Zoners control the Deuterium market...

I still think there are too many holes here. I'd be a lot happier if that alliance/friendliness was just removed and put to neutral.
