To: Calum McDonald, GlenCoe
From: Sir Alisdair Buchanan
Subject: Trade Report

Mr. McDonald,

You both handled the situation just fine. The People's Front (VF) is a political faction devoted to overthrowing the Rheinland government - they will do anything to hinder trade in Rheinland.

While we might be sensitive to their political concerns, which do have some merit, we do not make it a practice to drop our cargo. If you find yourself confronted by a VF vessel, then yes, handle the situation like you would a pirate: assess the situation (just a fighter against two transports, or a bomber; does he have support nearby, etc.), and respond accordingly with all due discretion and care for your crews. Also, feel free to challenge the pilot - perhaps you won't have to give up as much. If they want you to drop cargo for political reasons, they should be able to explain those reasons to you.

That said, fine job.


Buchanan out.

Gateway Comm System: CLOSED
