There's no way to ''powergame it'' because there's ID limitations. Before people start crying ''Oh the poor indies'', they should look at facts. DTR has never ordered indies anything in the last 2 years since our existence. Nor have we ever FR5-ed another faction or indie. On the contrary, when I was leading DTR, we even tried to involve other non-official factions in our government. We've also supplied XR for about 2 years to whoever wanted them.
Laws are only fluff if you don't use them. The laws, as written, are effectively a casus belli against anyone who you deem to be undermining the economy. Fab is also in this thread using POB profits to justify said laws. That kind of adds up, to me.

What's the proper recourse in this situation? Make an alt Core/OC so I can shoot at them? I asked genuinely how can one counter-play that within the rules of the game. Admittedly, I hardly play Freelancer these days, but I am yet to see any RP deal being proposed by any faction, or anyone even attempting at bargaining/negotiating inRP or otherwise. I dunno, maybe I am old-fashioned but I like to negotiate with people - that's kind of the whole point of an RP server.
I'm sorry but I don't believe in "counterplay" to gaining a commodity that's mandatory for certain parts of the game's economics. That speaks to a mindset which is exactly what I'm worried about, frankly. You can provide the commodities for credits, sure, if people don't want to pay you, they don't have to and they can put in the time and effort themselves. Yes, RP is great, but frankly every time I meet a DTR player in-game it's either oorp, "hi", silence, or /1 /2, which I don't think sets a great precedent for getting people to negotiate with you.
