Alaska Opinion Poll

[Fletcher]

Well - the poll never included "Smugglers" or any other groups like that in its options, which as i have said before, displays an inherent bias in the information that its going to give.
Firstly, i dont agree that a smuggler carrying artifacts through Alaska is OORP - and im wondering how many other people might also think that, but they didn't have a choice to say it. But even if you look at the data in the poll, look at the amount of people who have said not to change it at all... quite a few.

Try to fly with the LSF/SA and catch trespassers? Tenacity has proved that there are independent players out there who would, I'd love to have a character in a gunboat there to have a crack at it myself, but these factions will not allow independents to do that - hence him starting his thread.
The fact that it's a pain in the a%$ is no one else's problem - Its a pain in the a^$ when traders run when you're a pirate as well, but thats part of the game when you choose the role you play.

Last point, no smuggler, who has acquired the codes to the Alaska gate is going to ask the lawfuls if they can come through. I believe that there are easier solutions to this rather than modding the game.

I'm being biased? If I am it was unintended, I kinda forgot to include the smuggler part, and I wish I could have made this poll multi-choice. But what's done is done.

I do have a Liberty Navy character, but he never enforces the Alaska/Zone 21 area because he's never there and not allowed. It doesn't affect me.

This discussion does directly affect my Order character Trent however, yet I am agreeing to turn the system to being even more secure NPC wise. Sometimes its bad enough that I get jumped buy Nomad gunboats and Liberty Navy NPC's with Disruptors, its takes me a long time to kill them, then a cruiser waltzes in with gunboats, joy.

Should they be turned into Guards they'd be fricking Gods compared to the current one in my opinion. Not to mention when I log in there is usually a few good LSF players guarding the gate. I have opened fire once, adv.debilitators with cannonballs and nuclear mines are very deadly is all I'll say.

NPC wise if the Navy hate you, its a tough system, but shove guards in there, and you'll have to be lawful, very lawful to the Liberty. This would kill off the Corsair smuggling route more since its harder to balance great lawful rep and neutral/friendly relations with Corsairs to smuggle.

I respect but don't love the LSF guarding the Alaskan hole, they have to help keep the Nomads out, just as the Order. Smugglers should never come into the equation.:rtfm:
