Sounds suspiciously like a Vendetta to me.
Why not just adjust their rep if that's the source of the problem?
Singling out a "Big 3" company with Core 5 bases in each major house and reducing their cargo capacity is very poor inRP, IMO.
Much like believing that UPS could perform their business in minivans.
The timing of this is somewhat suspect too. A relatively small IC faction is the 2nd most active group on the server. Not because of a lot of members like the most active faction, but because their players login and play, and RP with other factions.
"Power-trading" is a highly overused term in this community. The same economy is available to all players.
Isn't Logging in, doing the work to be successful and RPing with other players the general idea on an "RP Server"?
Bad idea, terrible RP-wise and patently unfair IMO.
