' Wrote:furthermore, - on second thought, - it may be fine to enforce any embargo - but should it not rather be a civilian one? - so shouldn t samura / kishiro enforce it - and not the military in that case?
Products in the list are used in large quantites on warships/weapons, as the purpose of the embargo is to prevent Kusari pruduced 'military' (can be used in warships/weapons) products to reach Bretonian borders and the Battleship Nagumo and Nagaski are the two main blockades, it make me think it fall in military duty.
Apparently 'The Queen' is of the same opinion, considering Bretonia policy on the same list is slightly more restrictive, unless I'm basing on old documents.
Quote:when engine components, niobium, optronics are "banned" from casual trading, there is not much left. - its like shooting your own feet. - not everything that you can justify in RP will have a good effect on the RP enviroment.
Currently Niobium and Optronics are not in the list.
Quote:here is an example:
i have been providing FP 11 with engine components, making the nice route from honshu to delta via one of the last "legit" routes we have. - now i have been confronted by the KNF and rightfully been told that its not allowed. i was told that i can obtain a license and that it won t be hard for a zoner vessel. - so far so good.
but the RP of my zoner would rather say ( since he fled the regulatory machinery of the inner sphere ) not to get caught in the bureaucracy again. - he took the only consequence a zoner has - and placed an embargo on kusari himself. - meaning, no more trades of cobalt from FP11 to honshu - cause i am not able to take anything back.
i adjusted my route to rheinland instead - picking up engine components at new berlin and taking the omega route to delta. - in RP, honshu just lost a major provider of cobalt and a source of money that would take their engine components. i m a bit doubtful if thats really what kusari wants.
in terms of gameplay - its just less players you get and more NPCs. think about overregulating stuff. - and/or leave it to the cooperations like kishiro or samura. - a trader may rather deal with restrictions made by other civilian cooperations than a house military, even if the interconnections between the vertically involved kusari cooperations and the goverment are interdependent.
if optronics and engine components are illegal without a license, - it ll cut off honshus exports as this planet has nothing worth selling anymore. adding niobium ( even if its meant to cut the ooRP traders that use the chogoku route ) to be illegal may - if enforced end up with no traders at all anymore. - the whole kusari space may end up empty. no traders, no pirates, no lawfuls.
This restriction is now changed to apply only for export toward the Taus and apparently this 'example route' does not involve Kyushu or Tau-31 blockade, there shouldn't be problems.
' Wrote:So if a Junker wasn't about and KNF or KSP pulled you over, they would simply check you cargo and if it was legit wave you own with a few rude comments. IF a Hogosha caught you, then prepare to be extorted.
I believe this can simply be applied by players by RPing Junkers/Hogosha ingame.
Should this type of roleplay be encouraged somehow? Is really needed to add something to the codex about it? If yes, more licenses?
Me: 1 Yes (an Hogosha PFaction perhaps? events? RP on the forum?) - 2 No - 3 No.
