Corsair vs Outcast

[BoozeWooz]

You're thinking too hard into this. It's unlikely that the two will reunite in the near future. All of the other stuff is a kind of irrelevant. The Outcasts will just destroy any synthetic cardamine that is created while the Corsairs will keep finding artifacts to trade. They already found abundant amounts in Omicron Delta and there's still some left in the nebulae of Omicron Gamma and Omicron Theta.

Corsairs and Outcasts can travel much more freely throughout Sirius if they want to. The Houses can't because the other Houses would view the foreign military ships as an act of war, but since the Hispanics are unlawful, they go where they please, although the Outcasts and Bretonia are somewhat friendly and the same is true for the Corsairs and Kusari. Corsairs regularly pirate in Bretonia, Rheinland, the Omega Systems, and the Sigma Systems while Outcasts regularly pirate in Liberty, Kusari, Rheinland, Gallia, the Tau Systems, and the Sigma Systems.

Also, the Corsairs aren't starving because of the war. It's because Planet Crete is very mountainous with little fertile soil for growing food. The Corsairs still focus on pirating food traders, but they also have border conflicts when Outcasts come along.

As for the Bounty Hunters, they aren't big enough of a threat to get the Hispanics to reunite.

I feel a bit pity for the corsairs thou, concerning the foods.
I heard I will be able to make my own base in version 4.86? Will I be able to grow food there like freeport 9 etc? Would be nice to make one like this near crete, and if everyone did this there shouldnt be hunger anymore there.
Would be really nice to do! I guess at first you have to bring water and fertilizers to produce food, then we can produce those for ourselves too, which require h-fuel I think. But the h-fuel can be made from water and energy from the sun in gamma, so cycle complete!

Also, I guess a trade agreement or somekind of ceasefire would be nice between outcasts and corsairs.. Or at least allow unarmed ships (e.g. transports) free access to certain areas of outcast/corsair territory, I think both would benifit from it greatly. But I think food grown at Malta all contains cadamine, so I guess this is not really pleased at crete, as would make corsairs addicts too...

Also, is it possible as Freelancer or some other ID to be friendly both to corsairs as outcasts? I heard its not possible because you will be regarded as traitor or something...
