Kusarian Jump Gates

[Zelot]

Personally, I would like to see the Kusari 'turf' more clearly defined. Sure Samura should sell Osaka to Kishiro - but then Kishiro should sell Nago Station in Tau-29 to Samura.

This would start a trend of putting Samura 'turf' in 'west' Kusari, and Kishiro holding in 'east' Kusari - with New Tokyo being the overlap...

This is an idea that I have been a big proponent of.



One last little note, I dont think Kishiro would ever risk pissing off the Liberty corporations by having anything to do with developing tradelane and jumpgate technology. If they did, IC would surely pull its investment and insurance from the Okinawa project, as well as other Libertionian companies stopping trade with Kishiro. The thing that has allowed Kishiro to gain market share has been there dealings with the GMG and Liberty, if they had anything to do with stealing JG technology, they would be doomed.



Samura on the other hand, has every reason to attempt something like that. They dont do a huge business with Liberty, preferring to trade internally, and with Rhienaland (who would be very happy to get access to that same JG technology) would have much less to lose in doing it, and would probably be protected to an extent by the Kusari government. Add that to that, the fact that much of Samuras goals involve pushing Liberty out of the Kusari markets, and it seems like the most rational thing Samura could do.

Edit: Hawkings, I have always seen Kurile to be so far out, and with such a specific, in-rp purpose, that its not the same, it is in the sigmas so far that it is beyond GMG territory, it is a deep space installation, not really Kusari territory except that Samura owns it.
