Regarding the Core's purchase request of 74

[Tenshu]

Yes, and I just love these "RP arguments" that keep being flung around. How can Corsairs support so many ships? How can they have this and that materials ready? How can they blablabla.

And then the minute you ask how can the Order have the force to fight a war with the Nomads and the BHG at the same time, while moving forces to attack Corsairs from Omicron Theta. I'm sure someone will come with a smartass reply as always. But don't worry, the Corsairs have plenty of their own as well if you want to play that game.

Aside from that, I'm getting real sick of these attempts by the Zoner-players to victimize themselves in order to win cheap empathy points. The ZA was put under pressure for two days, and then it fell apart. Apparently it's our fault.

You give yourself too much credit Hideki. You were part of what led up to the fall of the ZA sure but not solely responsible. It was a long time coming and only happened because their was a split belief on how the situation should have been handled. There was a lot coming up to this which led to it falling. As a TAZ I used to watch the ZA chats become more and more of this "Neo" form of Zoners who were significantly more militaristic and bold in diplomatic decisions. The Corsairs were the target for ridicule from the Zoners because they were the straw that broke the camels back. You were simply there at wrong place, wrong time.
