Should independents have it harder?

[Ackarion]

I would like to bring an example to one of my characters. This sole source corporate license issue would actually effect my rp and my character in a negative way and cause me great frustration.

My char is a (Independant) ALG ID'd Heavy Mover. Part of my rp is in my hold; I have plutonium and toxic waste. I use engines to replicate for my engine. MOX is used for my fuel and its consumption, Crew and Oxygen.

Now. Lets say the Plutonium belongs to a Kusari company, Engines belong to another company, Toxic waste belongs to ALG. MOX belong to BMM. Now my rp load out violates 3 to 4 licensing requirements and therefore when I travel to system to system: I have x companies telling me I cant have said cargo. I have x police saying I cant have x cargo. I have x pirates telling me I cant have x cargo. I will be shot at, hastled, and eventually killed because I decided to have a rp load out. In additoin one or two companies will open a bounty due to me carrying there items in my hold. For what, because I am using them for rp and to make some money too. This is what will happen.

Now the topic of bounties and the effect they have. Lets say, I have gotten tired of ones rp or just dont like the way things are being played out. What is there to stop a company from putting a 1 billion bounty on OPG. Putting 3mill for fighters, 5 mill on gbs, and 8mill on cap ships. Now one billion, is on the pot. At this rate OPG would be hunted on the server for 6months, what a negative effect. Just because you all doing your rp. I mean this can be done. (I am not making this to be a threat) I am mearly making a point on the ramifications of a company with large pockets. You have a corporation with teams of people putting money in a pot, brow beating other new players, independent players, and corporate players. Thats the other issue, some corporations will have more pull and wealth than others so pressures would be applied with bounties and trade agreements and licensing. Wow, can you say mob associated teamsters or unions.

Organized strongarming is what i call it.

These are another few points why I am very much against these values and ideas.

(I do want to say, my points are not to indicate that these are one's intentions, just that these are the remifications of such desicions.)
