Battle for Yanagi

[ProwlerPC]

Wow I only just noticed this.
I am ok, I guess with saying; let them have their fun. I am curious, however, on how Hogs would get enough ships that's strong enough to take out a station past GMG eyes in their own space but they are scanner dampening clouds so small ships trickling into a rendezvous point is feasible.
Also, the existence and location of Yanagi depot is known. I't just barely clinging on to survivability as it is. The NPC GMG are considering bombing it if it continues to be a source of unlawful activity. I guarantee that, in RP, Yanagi depot wouldn't last till the end of the day if Hogosha succeeded in taking it.
Also I'd like to point out that Hogs taking over Yanagi wouldn't increase Kusari control over GMG. For that matter Kusari currently has no control on GMG whatsoever. If the Emporer and his fleet can't make GMG budge how will the smaller less powerful Hogs do it? Yes I am all fine and happy to see action between Hogs and Junkers, but RPng out territory grabs in GMG space for territory that is not only known by GMG but is also already in danger of being swept away might not be the best approach. Besides I thought it was the other way around, Junkers want in Kusari and Hogs are preventing it.

Edit add: Also reading on Hawks post he is right. These Junkers have always relied on others protecting Yanagi. GMG happens to inadvertantly be one of them. Not that we are proud of the fact but the Junkers play on GMG's need to have that field cleaned up so we can put in GMG developments there. So by keeping their noses relatively clean and making a show of helping ALG they manage to get away with having that Depot smack in our space without us bombing it to pieces, so far...and with the open border and agreement between GMG and Rhienland that field now also has RM on top of GMG protecting it. You see, it's the site, that the depot happens to be in that is significant. It's a lawful industrial clean-up zone under protection and the Junkers managed to be coy enough to get in that sphere of protection...barely. As I mentioned above, you may want to consider something a bit different for the RP hook. Not too different, can be hits on the salvage operation sure but a territory war isn't feasible as it's not even Junker controlled territory, they are there at ALG's request and remain only by GMG's limited tolerance......hey that does make me think of something......set them up to look bad in front of GMG. A Junker/Hog storyline series of events can accomplish that. Just a thought...
