Alaska Opinion Poll

[sovereign]

As a side... I would also add that smugglers carrying Artifacts into this area should'nt be stopped by the order, rather they should be protected by them. The Order's alliance with the corsairs is based on mutual cooperation against the Nomads, in other words, the Order believes they need the Corsairs. They are not going to risk alienating their biggest ally by interfering in said allies biggest trading income i would think.

The point isn't so much that, as it is how everyone, their uncle, their dog, and the girl of questionable taste from a few nights back has the codes to go back through. And often does.

Also, the main problem isn't so much the abuse of Artifacts (most indie Corsairs whore diamonds, then buy capships, and most factions know better) as it is the abuse of Cardamine. There is a hellishly fast route that goes Ibiza -> Omicron-90 -> Omicron Major* -> Omicron 100** -> Omicron Minor -> Alaska -> NY.

On occasion, this is done with very good RP. The rest of the time, people will start yelling in OOC system when the Navy is like "WHOA, cardamine smuggler coming out of Alaska- KILL HIM!!!" which is totally reasonable for them to say. THAT is why Alaska needs to be made a system for RP. If even one halfway profitable trade route goes through it, it will get whored by omg lol noobz.




* The Dyson sphere inside. How the hell anyone could get out of that deathtrap these days escapes me. Remember, Trent cheated.

** The Order guard system. If the Order doesn't police the route to Alaska, they WILL police this.
