4.88.6 (4.88 Final) - Fall Update: Bretonia and Liberty Cleanup

[WildBill]

From the Junker's in Puerto Rico -

Of course we have a few issues with the update. The system change itself is wonderful. The location is nearly perfect for a "den of thieves" and what is generally considered a mass group of degenerates. Overall this update has introduced many much needed changes. I would like to thank the dev team for giving us the opportunity to RP the Rogue presence in Puerto Rico. Even though {SR} is not an official faction we had a blast on both sides with the RP. Thank you for giving it validation. However, we feel there are some things that are missing.

1. The JH's have been positioned so far away from the Premium Scrap field.

It is an extremely long flight now to the Pscrap field from Puerto Rico. The bulk of our activity and RP is based around our mining operations to/from our station in Puerto Rico. I don't believe any other factions have been affected this badly by a system move. This is our bread and butter, our jobs as Junkers. Would it be possible for the Hudson JH in Texas to be moved to the old PR JH location and the Southern field activated again? Or possibly a location in Hudson or Bering with a lower drop rate (not extremely low though)?

2. Base supplies.

A while back our former leader Widow discussed the issue of base supplies with someone on the dev team. The resolution to the issue was that Reinforced Alloy would be made available closer to Puerto Rico. Instead we have been moved further away from these supplies. When we originally built the stations RA's were available in Puerto Rico. They were removed without warning and we were told privately it was because "Jump Hole blocking POB's". While other factions have retained the right to less than a 5min flight to restock their POB's (OSI, IMG, JM) we continue have them moved further and further away.

3. Attached Systems.

The point of moving Puerto Rico was to detach it from Liberty. But it is now connected to New Hampshire. Is New Hampshire no longer considered a Liberty system? We were originally shown a map depicting Puerto Rico being in the middle of Hudson and Omega 7. Turning the system into a true smuggling route between Omega Unlawfuls and Liberty/Rheinland. Rogues and Junker pirates would be able to hit said smugglers moving through the system. Ore haulers attempting to take a risky shortcut into Liberty would be highly vulnerable to piracy. I understand this would give Junkers far too much of an advantage in smuggling. Perhaps placing the system between Bering and Hudson would be the better fix? Instead of Bering having a direct attachment to Hudson, Puerto Rico could be in the middle?

Overall the system has been further removed from any of the much needed commodities and the issues the move was originally intended to fix were not addressed or fixed at all.
