Scrap price dropped in Inverness

[Rudo]

This is why I have been lobbying for subtle to moderate tweaks to junker gear, and have been meeting with some success. Some player groups in the past have come in and treated the faction id as a sirius and gallia wide piracy license with lawful docking privilege and the option to use any faction's weaponry.

As you can expect, that went down in flames. Junkers should primarily be using junker gear and ships. While the Zoner gunship is sold on a Junker base, it does require a bit of diplomacy roleplay and community interaction to go through first now. Not too hard, is it?

As for the scrap mining bit with inverness, that's Dusty's bit. And don't be silly about how unjust it is. Do you know what other lawful trading factions go through to do their runs? Being a Junker is easy compared to getting hunted through house space and getting powerpirated. Junkers don't get that nearly as badly.

And there are multitudes of ways to make a legal or quasi-legal living as a Junker. Many of them are even profitable.

Honestly, I was as insular as some of you guys were once. It all changed when I started talking to people, and stopped assuming stupid conspiracies or ignorance. The game became a lot less aggravating then too. Nobody here is against anybody, or at least nobody in a position worth a damn.

Some junker players haven't discovered all their employment options yet and as a result don't know how good they have it.
