Kusari relationships

[BaconSoda]

Problem.

Kusari is completely dependent on foreign ore, so they need foreign traders to bring it to them. If FA pirates them so much that they go away, then Kusari is deprived of raw materials, its war machine dies, and Bretonia turns around and conquers them.

Like in all things, Disco majorly over exaggerates the extent to which we take crap from people. The FA literally can't take everything or dissuade everyone from coming to Kusari. It's just impossible. We're too small.

Or maybe they're trying to conquer Bretonia for the local ores?

The Tau War probably has a lot to do with that, yeah.

One thing's for sure, I'm not eager to load up with ore to go someplace where the local dynamic is:
AFA guy: "I just pirated this gaijin ore freighter and tried to murder his escort."
KNF guy: "Awesome! High five!"
Escort/trader/miner: "Mayday, AFA guy just destroyed my convoy and tried to kill me."
KNF guy: "STFU, gaijin, we like him doing that. Stop complaining about the pirates or we'll kill you."

Depending on the KNF/KSP, yes. As I said above, some KNF/KSP may applaud us as heroes, others may treat us as criminals. It depends on who you meet.

I've been told the foreigners should stop and offload everything at the border stations and Deshima, so that Samura or Kishiro move everything inside Kusari. Problem with that? Border stations and Deshima (not entirely sure about Deshima) don't buy ores.

Sadly, it's just an RP thing since Disco was invented. Osaka, Tsushima, and Deshima were all drop points for foreigners as well as Narita. Now everything except Narita is just pretty.
