Zelot, a Very interesting proposal for Canaria, another docking facility for the Corsair "enclave".
And I fully understand your position regarding "history", if not your seeming neophobia concerning the future.
I don't think we're asking to rewrite history. We're exploring the possibilites by reviewing the current status quo, and asking the right to determine the future to a degree.
As to your being offended, what are we demanding be wiped out, Zelot? A piece of paper. A contract that if you want to talk "realities" probably hasn't been needed for quite some time.
I will also choose to be offended by the old litany (again, fueled by history and not by the future) that if one little apple on the Corsair car is disturbed, it means Freeports in flames. You don't need our food anymore, eh? Progress. That's good! Yay! But Zoners are now strong enough, rich enough, and powerful enough to not require your "protective" services in one system? Bad! Heresy! Boo!
I sense that you wish to move forward in the sense that Corsairs are no longer dependent on Zoners for food.. to move past the "vanilla" paradigm and its restrictions.
Why is it so difficult to allow us the same courtesy and priviledge?
