[Nevermore]

Thumbs up! Looks very promising!

But:

-- Any ship may open fire if accompanied by a Security ship against Pirates who are demanding more than the net worth of all allied ships and cargo within sensor range of the pirates.

I didn't understand that rule. Does it state that I may attack pirates if they pirate allied ships, but only if the net worth (definition/calculation?) of all those ships are exceeded by the demand? Sounds a bit redundant to me, isn't it included in the self-defense rule? Or should it rather regulate when/whether we can help allied traders? If so, then it's unnecessarily complicated, at least for my taste.

That aside, I'd be in.

But the Raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered--
Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before--
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before."
<blockquote>Then the bird said, &quot;Nevermore.&quot;</blockquote>
