Um... the OP started the topic relaying it to Rheinland, Jammi. Why are you making it look like we are only posting about it becasue Laura is the leader of RFP?

as stated in OP:

Before, we had lot of it, mainly consisting of indie junkers and freelancers, which were trading premium scrap mainly to Omicron Alpha (rarely also to Gamma), and on the way back to Liberty they smuggled cardamine (or artifacts in case of Gamma). This was one of the main activity sources for RFP, but other lawfuls had benefit from it too, as well as GMG patrols in Sigmas (and I would say also Kusari lawfuls, because of people didn´t want to go through Rheinland for this or that reason, they had to travel through their systems).

anyway....

Does that not strike anyone as immediately wrong, irrespective of anything else that's going on?

When you compare Premium Scrap to other mineable ores, the current state of balance really is inexcusable. As I said, the RFP aren't relevant. The fact that an entire swath of players are being handicapped by gimped prices that were extremely poorly thought out, is. That's the real issue.

The Best in-game activity for who, exactly? For Junkers? The issue that i remember people kept repeating is that there is little to no one stopping to pirate junkers for instance.
I guess other factions got good things from the p-scrap smuggling too but... it was mostly junkers because they can mine it.

Again can you explain please who are the "swath of players handicapped" by these "unfair prices" ??

Are the prices really that bad? really?

And also is no one going to bother making Gallic Cops? That's actually something I am interested in seeing still since there is ALL this talk about people selling to Gallia. So why have there not been an increase in gallic law ships? Well yeah I know why... becasue there is no activity right? But See... maybe if some activity starts to happen then more will catch on?
