To the AU

[Albert Profrock]

15 k from NY gate still is weird. How do you get pass all of the Navy fleet?

Without using the trade lanes perhaps? Plus, I have never encouraged pirating around gates but trade lanes.

EDIT: When was the last time the Unioners ever been to Munich?

Read Bens answer.

All Unioner bases offer Synth Food bribes.

Which should be fixed.

Artefacts come from our old alliance with the 'Sairs.

They aren't allied anymore.

Four hours, in which I made a lot of money in your territory, traveling through frankfurt along with huge numbers of other traders.

So what? Should I congratulate you? Should I blame the LN for why they didn't even recognize my Unioner smuggler who made millions of credits by smuggling through Liberty space?

Alternative? I haven't seen you pirate anywhere else!

This is your perception. We have pirated in Rheinland countless times.

No, you are not obliged to work by my clock, that would be totally unfair of me to expect that. I am using an example however Kress. You may or may not have noticed that my IND has also been trundling around Rheinland rather a lot of late. When I say rather a lot, I mean that I'm on an epic trade grind at the moment.

At no point have I been pirated by the AU or any other group in Rheinland. I have not seen a Rheinland pirate's face at all, aside from in texas. This implies to me that something is rather awry.

Perhaps because Unioners arent the only unlawful faction in Rheinland?

There is a large amount of trade running between bretonia and the heart of rheinland. I know because I have been a part of it and have been watching it on my indy RM.

Omega-7 could be an additional option for piracy, yet this doesnt mean we cant pirate in Texas too.

The perceived lack of trade does not give you an excuse to just up and leave your roots and bugger off to another house. I will quote myself...

We havent buggered off to another house. We conduct operations in both houses. These are different.

I was refering to you stealing from miners. Miners are viable piracy targets. I was mining and travelling with new fewer than four other miners for several hours last night.

You are speaking of instants only. There will of course be opportunities in Rheinland for piracy. But this has nothing to do with Unioners being able to expand into Texas. And the official faction more specifically could be more flexible in terms of determining the zones to operate.

In practical terms it may be more dangerous to operate in Rheinland. The Rhienland military is bored mainly, because it has little combat duty within the house itself, unless the Liberty Navy comes calling. However, if you were to do a little reading, you will discover that Rheinland has a much smaller defence budget than Liberty, who have the spending (in roleplay) to wage war on two other houses at the same time.

There is no need to worry then if Liberty is capable of waging war on two other houses. Unioner activity in Texas shouldnt be a serious problem for them as they could always respond back.

If you had played a liberty liawful character, you would be more than aware that you spend your entire time rushing from one crazy emergency to the next, and should you lose a fight, it means that the various systems are just a mass of gunboats yelling the word "corrupt" at any opportunity they can find for the next four hours until you can come back and restore some semblance of order and tranquility to the place.

This isnt my problem.

Your wish to inflict yourself upon a place which according to your groups' description you should have little interest in, I find a little annoying.

According to my groups description? You apparently havent read the official faction status then.

The point being made here, is that with the xenos presence in Texas, you would find it much harder (with more stretched supply) to operate here than in the borderworlds. I find it a little odd that you feel perfectly comfortable to watlz right up to the texas gate and pirate there. It is something of a concern.

Xenos are hardly active in Texas tbh, but in Colorado, NY and other systems. I have seen a lot more Junkers and Rogues there instead with which we could both get on fairly well if we wanted to. Pirating around a gate isnt my personal preference but you cant blame someone for being at 15k distance to a gate. And one could always sneak through without using the lanes.


That remaining revolutionary spirit does not include Texas.

Texas has nothing to do with a revolutionary spirit and we arent supposed to conduct everything in the name of a revolution. We may do just plain piracy as we like.

Not really, due to the larger presence of the local law enforcement. The Xenos would be fighting alongside the local law in order to shove you back out. Your group, being tiny, wouldn't be able to cope with that.

Thats true, but still doesnt mean we cant take the fight into Texas.

"official faction"

How many active members do you have?
EDIT: Broke the code somewhere along the line... lots of quotes and the last three broke. Italics in quotation marks are... well... quotes.

What sort of question is this? Im not used to an investigation done by forums and we have already fulfilled our duty for the official status check up by sending the required data to Dusty Lens via PM. Arent you supposed to be already aware of this information as an admin? This is rather looking like a power abuse to me now. Besides, we are reasonably active as of late.
