How a player faction excludes a characteristic of the NPC faction

[Dusty Lens]

There would be two reasons no one has raised those points...

First one would be due to there being no reason for it, as the Outcasts aren't currently trying to kill the Zoners, rendering the point somewhat moot. Outcasts in Omega 3... Would be able to survive by bringing some cardamine and a sandwich I guess?

I guess I'm not sure how the Outcasts, or any other faction other than the BHG/Corsairs*, have gone outside their lore... Maybe you could cite some examples? Admittedly I'm somewhat lost on that score.

Second one being... The concept of logistics is on a wider scale. We're talking about sustaining populations... Not Jose going on a bit of a road trip to rob him some BMM pilots. The Outcast's pressure isn't in having cardamine, it's in exporting it. The Corsair pressure is in importing food... Because there are hypothetical millions who rely upon supplies that Crete cannot generate for itself.

The Outcast economy is based, in broad strokes, around importing material goods while exporting a drug. They have an attractive consumer good but little in the way of an industrial base. Their necesary economy goes -out-. In current disco.

The Corsair economy is based, in broad strokes, around importing foodstuffs while exporting material goods and artifacts. They have an attractive industrial market but little in the way of food production. Their necesary economy comes -in-. In current disco.

The Outcast economy, if they were unable to market or move cardamine, would go belly up overnight and they would be consumed and destroyed.

If anything the double standard here is that you're implying that the Corsairs shouldn't be put under the microscope because of their actions if the Outcasts aren't as well... When the Outcasts haven't done anything. Your position would sit just as well if you demanded to know why the Unioners are getting off scott free while everyone suggests that the Corsairs have logistics issues.


* For the purposes of fighting a war with the Zoners. Not stating that it's as logical as the LN attacking the BAF because they want Manchester or anything. It's an acceptable deviation. Simplified for purposes of discussion.

Edit: Also, yes, there is that. The Outcast do need to maintain a heavy import population to keep their economy afloat. Cardamine doesn't just harvest itself you know and it's a right whore to harvest.
