Message to the Junkers Congress

[Tenacity]

Think what you want, you made points I responded to them, point by point, and you have no response, sounds like it is you who knows little of inter galactic economics or politics. If you would like to make a more articulate argument, you may return, if not, just be on your way.

//i hate to take this out of RP, but I have to in order to explain. The players here dont overwrite base freelancer design, no matter how many of them there are. All of those 'independent' smugglers you see dont exist in vanilla FL. Outcast ships, or those of their allies, move cardamine to the very borders of house space - from there it's the Junkers - or in kusari space, the GC - who distribute the cardamine throughout the house territory.

//Without Junker support, the outcasts would sell no cardamine in rheinland, bretonia, or liberty. Those three, with a focus on liberty, make up the majority of income from cardamine sales - a minority comes from kusari due to the hogosha and kusari government having a strong anti-drug stance, and the GC using most of what they smuggle for themselves, or to entice new recruits.

//The entire war effort of the outcast alliance against the corsairs relies on drug money. It would take little to no effort for junkers to completely disrupt cardamine movement in the three major houses - hell, we could even intercept shipments ourselves, and sell the stuff for personal profit so the outcasts never see a penny. Without that money, the outcast fleets falter, and they find themselves unable to lend support to their allies or even to fight the war against the corsairs. Junkers switch over from primarily moving cardamine to primarily moving artifacts, further bolstering the corsair side of the conflict, and the outcast alliance would fall apart entirely.

Trust me, you want to keep the junkers doing business with you, as do we. We make more money in the end when we play both sides of the war, but if either side - particularly the outcasts - tries to turn on us and ruin our current setup in sirius, they'll get hit so hard by the reality of economic balance that they wont be able to recover.

We do have the advantage here, as we always have had. Our position of nuetrality is what keeps sirius running, whether you like to believe it or not.

And, once more responding to the harvester incident - we have had all sorts of violence going on at yanagi lately. Chances are the harvester was working in the best interest of the station to begin with - he saw you as a threat, for whatever reason, and opened fire. So long as no hostile fire is directed at the station - meaning that the station is not in danger of hull ruptures - we couldnt care less about squabbles between other groups.
