Good Trade Route from Rheinland to Bretonnia?

[Jan_Mattys]

Don't expect the local mining corporations to be happy about you stealing their ore, though.

What do you mean "their ore"? The last time I checked, I didn't see any corporate logo on those asteroids.

The way I see it, if it's in my cargo, it's mine. If it's going to be in my cargo bay soon, it's mine as well. It just doesn't know it yet.

Rheinland laws would disagree with you...

Sir, I really hope you understand that those comments were meant in a non-serious way.

I have the utmost respect for Rheinland regulations; as a side note, I want to point out that there's nothing about me in Rheinland criminal records, and that any rumor of illegal activity associated with my name is likely due to my competitors trying to make me look bad.

I am just an entrepreneur who happens to visit your beautiful capital from time to time and who happens to travel through your borders. Never had any trouble with any Police force in any quadrant, and I don't plan this to change in the future.

And besides, I am sure you awesome guys have bigger fish to fry than a poor little nothing like me. Keep up the good work!
And get off my tail.
