Regarding the Core's purchase request of 74

[Tommeh]

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.

As Rod said.
Kara Wall is wrong, Order does not plan to use 74 as base system against Corsairs. Creating another open war front for Order is really not an option. If you haven't noticed, in all recent fights between Zoners and Corsairs no Primary Fleet (Order|) ship was there. There is reason for that. We will support Zoners in any way we can, but Order won't create new war front like the one against Core.
Zoners are our most important allies, but we couldn't just move half of fleet to 74 and fight Corsairs, where we can be hit by Corsairs and Core from both sides, as we testified already yesterday when Core joined with Corsairs against others. Not to mention Minor stays half defended against Nomad and Core attack waves.
