' Wrote:However, there is a bit of metagaming going on in decisions. You, and Bacon, both mention the BD and GC bases as support for your side of the issue.. But in-RP, the Kusari government, nor Kishiro or Hogosha, know of the existance of these two bases. They are both in nebulas severely restricting scanner range, with plenty of defenses to kill anyone who may stumble upon them. Its logical to assume that the GMG knows of the existance (and probably location gained from scouts) of Sendai, and Interspace knows of Matsuda, but thats as far as that information would go. Just like no one but Hogosha, FA, and possibly Samura know of the location of the Hogosha base. The GC wrecks near the station (and the Hogosha wrecks near Sendai) are to show that those who stumble upon these bases and aren't friends are shot and killed before they can get that information back to their organization.
Metagaming? A serious accusation, here. Upon searching the thread with the word "base", I can't see where it's coming from.
To say there is a significant GC and BD presence coming form Okinawa is easy to spot as a KNF or KSP officer. It isn't as if the Police don't keep records of the origins of criminal attacks. They wouldn't know anything about the bases, no, but the fact that there is a lot of criminal activity coming from this system proves that the system is a hub for criminal activity, and the KNF would think the GMG need help in suppressing it, as they don't know about the GMG's connections with the Kusari criminal groups either. It's simple logic, I thought....

This is where you need to start with the RP. You need to role play these discussions happening with GMG, not going over their head and claiming the right to patrol there. Diplomacy first..
But a gate and lane would never be built without the stipulations that are currently present in the Sigmas. That is the GMG can deal with the area themselves, however, if need arises, the KNF comes to help them, without their permission, but with notification. Why would Kusari let the GMG build a gate like this without such assurance of being able to keep its borders safe? Despite the fact that it is independent, the GMG is still a corporation (Somewhat a guild, blah-blah, I know, corporation is the best word I can find to adequately describe it), and the KNF is a military force. The abilities of the two are very different, despite the fact that the guild attempts to keep the peace in the border worlds. Kusari needs that assurance to build a lane and a gate....
