Traders and Fair Play

[Cellulanus]

This is one of those things kind of can't work in Disco, because of all the changes from vanilla. While I agree in principal (and my liner doesn't use them), changes from vanilla disprove your claims which were of course once true.

A) no longer. Dozens of holes are now just in the middle of nowhere.

B) also no longer. DSE has a survey vessel in a system accessible only by jumphole. In fact, I think they've known about at least some jumpholes since forever. Rheinland got infected in Theta, right?

C) still true, but IC are too busy shipping cardamine and whatnot to insure anymore wink.gif

D) One of those things that is no longer backed up by any gameplay.

From what I've gathered, lawfuls explore and get to most new systems the old fashioned way, by cruising across the distance of space (Would only take a matter of months or weeks, about the same speed as in Star Trek) then they set up Jumpgates if they want to get to there fast with permanent base.

Oh, and as per the phase alinement thing not supported by game play, there are allot of things that exist inRP but not in gameplay, such as apprehending pilots that land on bases, escape pods, different crewmen running different functions on capitol ships, cloaks and so on, just because they aren't supported by gameplay doesn't mean they don't exist.
