' Wrote:I'm in favor of disbanding that route... sounds like it's been addressed in 3.84. Good.
I made a couple of passes on the route myself, but the suspension of disbelief kicks in fast... Why would there be literally hundreds of thousands of prisoners being moved from planetside to the battleship?
I've come up with two humorous theories on this...
1) Mcduff has a group of scientists on board that have come up with a higly effective and potent H-Fuel that uses chemicals from the living bodies of prisoners. So basically they are burnt up as feul.
2) The military is turning the prisoners into a massive army of obedient cyborgs to do their bidding.
Take your pick. Maybe it was an oversight, but some of us acctually like the run, and as it's been said a few times here it can be pirated if done properly. If you don't like it, quit complaining and don't use it. If you are a pirate who refuses to figure out a way to properly pirate the area, go somewhere else and quit complaining.
