To the AU

[Jihadjoe]

I've heard some weird things about some AU members, such as a gunboat that was sitting by Buffalo base in New-York, as an example.

Assisting the LRF with one of their raids? Yeah, alright. Pirating the New-York/Houston lane by themselves? I think not. :/

Well... One of the reasons I ask is that rheinland is somewhat quiet. I've been sat in dresden in a kruger tagged and ID'd mining ship for just a little over an hour now, with nothing happening. I've -never- been pirated in rheinland while on my traders, and I've only been involved in one fight with the Rheinland unlawfuls on my indy RM.

There is loads of trade and potential mining in Rheinland, yet I don't see the pirates to match it.

The AU are hardly pushing forward their own goals by pirating texas with -anyone-, let alone on their own.

To top it off, Liberty already has approximately 928364897256342 unlawful groups knocking about. I don't see any reason for a group of Rheinland pirates to add themselves to the list.

Proflock, while the Unioners are based in the borderworlds, so are the xenos generally. They have two bases in the borderworlds (Nome in Kepler and Barrow in Hudson), yet they concentrate purely on Liberty, and the borderworlds.

The Unioners are a similarly motivated group politically. What are they going to change about Rheinland by pirating texas?
