A Rule Ammendment - a poll with a point :)

[Carlos_Benitez]

I suggested this rule in Gamma be put in place for very good RP reasons.
Crete has a relatively small polulation in comparitive terms. With no arable land the Cretian people who are not space pilots (i'm talking Cretians, not the Corsair organisation) are constantly battling against starvation.
Regularly, these traders come and offload as many as four thousand passengers into our spacedock, which immediately (to cut a long RP chain short) eat all the food. Our children go hungry.
I think it's perfectly justified that we should stop these traders at all cost. Unfortunately, the time between them getting in scanner range, and speed-docking is not enough to shoot them down with fighters, bombers or gunboats.
These traders hardly ever stop, and rarely have any RP knowledge, but if we're going to RP this properly, we'd have to take enough trips to and from Freeport-9 as to get 4000 tonnes of food back to Crete to prevent starvation due to these traders' actions.
Crete is not a holiday destination, and I have no idea why it was made such in the last mod. Another solution is to remove the profitability of this trade.
