Ask Discovery: Order/Corsair Alliance

[Tenacity]

The idea in 4.86, ultimately, was to make the Order and the Corsairs neutral to each other. Perhaps neutral/friendly, but certainly not allied. The Order and the Blood Dragons striking up their alliance again, with the Blood Dragons being completely neutral to the Outcasts, and even unfriendly in a lot of ways.

I'd like to see this happen =) I had been doing some RP with a few blood dragon leaders working towards an alliance a few weeks ago, after my attempt at an alliance with kusari failed.

As far as I (and others) see it, the Order would NEVER hand over extremely advanced technology to a bunch of cutthroat pirates, especially not the Osiris battleship or cloaking devices etc. It just isn't in the interests of humanity to hand such advanced equipment and ships to pirates who are only interested in serving their own goals. They would never have needed the Corsairs to build any of their ships anyway (Zoners have shipyards), in theory. Either way, even if they did permit the building of Osiris they'd have stripped out all of the valuable technology from the design schematics and handed them a seriously dumbed down version.

Order high command members are planning on setting up a restriction post in the future, preventing any of our allies from using our ships (primarily the new gunboat, destroyer, carrier, and bomber, the nephthys/anubis and osiris were planned to be less restricted).

The entrance through Kusari goes through nomad space, that is the nomad space entry, also it is Tohoku, which is a pretty heavily guarded system in RP I thought.

The unknown system is no longer considered 'nomad' space, the lair there is dead and nomads have zero npc presence there.

Tohoku isnt a heavily guarded system either - it's a barren system. Now, the fortress there, tekagi's arch, IS heavily guarded... but it's only one base and easy to fly around. Blood dragons have ryuku base there as well, and it'd be awesome if the order sets up a deal with the dragons to use ryuku as a supply base.

All in all, i'd much prefer to see us allied with the dragons and nuetral-friendly with corsairs. It would get us out of the corsair-outcast war, which the order has no business being a part of in the first place.
