Xeno alliance with the Corsairs?

[Rudo]

Hardly think Liberty is neutral to Corsairs...ask anyone in the LN about that...

As for Xenos getting a piece of the artifact trade...from where to where, exactly? Sure, they could pick them up on Ames, Nome (assuming they let on where it is), FP 2 and Barrow (again, assuming they pass on the knowledge), but where, exactly are they going to be selling them?...

Well, the olive branch is always extended with the Junkers. They'd give up a share in the artifact trade in exchange for getting the swarms of Rocs away from camping Beaumont.

Xenos just gotta take a step back is all.

*grins* Just so you don't get the last word.

Xeno: Think you're shuttling the LPI's prison factory goods to supply those filching Brets? Not on my watch.
Junker: IM NEUTRAL
Xeno: Drop the cargo, all of it, or I drop you
Junker: STOP IM NEUTRAL
Xeno: This is your last chance, attempt to flee again and down you go
Junker: STOP
Junker: STOP
Junker: STOP
Junker: IM NEUTRAL STOP
Junker: *exploded*

Disclaimer: This is a broad generalization intended to paint over my own flaws in roleplaying with Junkers and incite a flame war. :P

*coughs*

Tee hee. :D

Xenos are welcome to murderize those Junkers all day long. I'm surprised more "neutral" Junker traders haven't gone off and screamed at the Congress for its random bits of piracy against factions like the =CR=. Such actions invite reprecussions toward the faction as a whole, which is nice as too many people use the tag as a magic 'can't touch me' button.

Granted, the real reason the Congress is being a bit more jackass-ish in their securing their place in the smuggling food chain is that we're bored. We've gotten a lot of new toys in this mod and only now are starting to get them balanced and bugchecked because we have so little opportunity to use them.
