Lots of bad news i see here. Oh well, i have some very good news today.
Our first sale to an outside contractor was conducted today. 2000 units of niobium was sold to IND Daddy_Warbucks. He seemed adamant to help the PMG with our profits, though i told him that our brethren on Falkland were selling the same thing for a much cheaper price. He filled his hold with 2000 units of PMG goods, and 3000 units of Falkland goods.
We are thinly spread at the moment and a retraction maybe in order. However, we must see what the true intentions of the SCRA are. Until they prove that they are a threat, we should appear unphased by their threats. I advise all vulnerable ships to travel with an escort where neccesary.
If they do attack us, i suggest a retaliation against their interests with our two Albatross frigates and a wing of fighters. Mabey that would teach them not to mess about with us. I do not view Bounty hunters as criminals, but as people who have taken their chance to become lawful citizens again from the life of the criminal they once endured. But thats my view.
