Changes to piracy

[Seth Karlo]

The problem is mate, that the devs decided that the IMG should be pro-Kusari, while the IMG| faction decided we should be more pro-Bretonian, due to our bases being there. We seek to loose more if we anger the Bretonians, and seek to gain more by allying with them than if we did the Kusarians.

While saying that, Holman, along with Java, are in the Taus, our main mining spot. If we piss off the Kusarians too much, they'll just storm our bases, take them over, and voila, we're in trouble.

Brief overview of our RP over the last few years:

-Kusari/Bretonian war started, blamed on the IMG while they were doing pretty much nothing.
-IMG realise that they need to stay neutral in the whole thing, Bretonia starts getting aggressive and to calm them down the IMG creates Edict 64.
-The Defence and R&D divisions were created about 20 odd years back, after the main seperation of the Colonials from our bases. Slowly they've been constructing a fleet of ships to combat the outcasts. Taking into reasonable construction periods and resources available I have that fleet as:

Defence fleet:

1x Battleship (WHich we're getting rid of soon)
8x BattleCruisers
20x Gunboats
160x Fighters and Bombers

R&D fleet:

4x Battlecruisers
12x Gunboats
80x Fighters and Bombers

The R&D and Defence departments work apart from each other, and each fleet was constructed in different locations. The Defence fleet was primarily constructed in the Omegas, with Aland Shipyard, while the R&D fleet was constructed in Tau 39, the IMG|'s guard system.

This is NOTHING compared to any major house.

I also came up with rough numbers of pilots:

Tau areas:

500,000

Omega's:

200,000

Bretonia:

500,000

Other areas of Sirius:

150,000

Total:

1,350,000

Not huge numbers, but not tiny either.

That's with a lot of RP and a lot of planning, and it's rather annoying when people ignore the lot of it...

I digress.

In this conflict, In RP, we are completely neutral, and as far, have remained very quiet about the whole thing. Our Fleet's remain secret.

OORP, we're not going to allow Mining Corp ships to land on our bases, especially after they mine our ore. There is no way for each house to find out what happened to single missing ship, they would just chalk it down to pirates or something.

Alexander Draconis, your support is gratefully recieved, thank you.
