Yes, but you can also go through the Sigmas and haul your plutonium that way too.
We will, in the coming days, be re-discussing Zone of Activity (Not to be confused with Zone of Influence) on where the Privateers can, should, and do go for their interdiction duties as well as where they can, should, and do dock.
Also, for those of you cranky about being interdicted by us, let me remind you that Kusari is very clearly winning this war. Upper Leeds is part of Kusari as well as the lower Taus. Privateers' job has become more important of late to interdict as much war material from reaching the front lines as possible. This means that yes, indirectly, the traders that are "just passing through" are going to get hit just as hard as that Kishiro/Samura tagged trader.
Yes, we can but I see QCP ships in Okinawa and Honshu. So just how in hell are we even supposed to get there without getting raped, ordered to drop our cargo or whatever? Mind you, the Zoners have an Alliance with the GMG which is where we get a lot of our plutonium from. The GMG is also semi-independent of Kusari. Think about it!
And in reality, QCP ships would have a tough time getting that far in without someone picking at them. I DO see them in Kyushu as a ZOI.
I also think they're misguided. They think that because we transit through Kyushu/Shikoku that we're doing business. Um...ever here of niobium being run into NY? Deuterium into Ames? Or even when I run superconductors to Omicron 74. I can't go through Rheinland with Liberty goods and according to QCP, I can't go through Kusari so now what, go all the way around through Bretonia where one of them will harass me there anyway? I'm losing my patience!
