The "job" of the military

[Vito]

I'll try to answer all the questions raised here, but don't hate if I miss something.

First of all, Wolfsprint said almost everything there was to say and I completely agree with him.

The assumed lack of support from the military.

No, the lack of support from the governmental forces, military and police

Yet, how can we express our support so everyone is happy and they feel supported by their military?

You can't. Nobody is asking for 24/7 surveillance, but I haven't seen a RM/RFP ship in Omega 11 for ages. And yes, Omega 11 is the problem, not Omega 7. Most lawfuls don't enter O11 because they don't want to spend a few credits on repairs and bots

People look at the militaries as free escort/protection and those militaries definitely don't act against that assumption if they have nothing better to do indeed.

You are right, that's RFP's job

In-RP, corporations make the profit for the House/military, but in reality they don't. There is no tax or anything similar, so the cash of the military is made by the military. Spending the military's real cash to protect their non-real enterprise partners is sorta iffy,

You should have thought about that when you applied for the RM. That is your job, to protect your people, not to pew pew with LN in Hamburg all day

I don't see why you keep bringing up this Wraith thing either, we gave you those ships already

You gave us 2(two) Wraiths. What can 2 Wraiths do against a pack of Odins? Not much. Not to mention they are both shared ships, so once one dies nobody else can log in again for 4 hours, right? The Eagle melts in Omega 11 faster than the RHA can kill it

It's not that we don't want to 'mess' with the RHA. It's more like that we consider their point of view important as well since they are players, not our enemies, just like the DHC is. That aspect does not need to reflect our view in role play or canon though and since we all are what I think of as responsible leaders, we can make a difference between role play and OOC.
You got that right, and I know losing can be demotivating. If you feel demotivated OORP, ask the RHA to cease their constant attacks since they are getting annoying and don't let your members develop. Breaking your RP because of OORP aspects is not the solution.

Doesn't the RM have a deal with the Unioners? Or the Bretonians with the Mollys? Isn't Samura supporting the Corsairs?
DHC's RP has always been the same: greedy, heartless corporate bastards who would sell their own mother for some credits. Our operations were suffering and we had to do something

If they refuse to do so, invest all that money into hiring mercenaries/bounty hunters and as I said, schedule your mining operations. Decide that you'd go mining every day at say, 10 o'clock, then all the mercenaries and the RM would know when you're in space, when you can expect an attack and when they have to go and protect you.

We did that and it didn't work. Btw, if we schedule our mining operations would you do the same and be there with some patrols? Mining takes time. We get there and 3 Odins and 2 Thor's show up. What then? F1 and wait for them to go away?

And if that seriously is so much of a problem, I ask back: What did the DHC do for the RM, ever? Why are we expected to be your babysitters when you invest your profit into supporting terrorism instead of your military forces?

Because that is YOUR JOB, that is why you applied for RM. Or at least that should be the reason. all you do is sit around Hamburg waiting for the LN co come and pew pew


Now about the reasons behind the DHC-RHA deal. I don't see how that is OORP. The RHA grew to a size which doesn't allow us to operate at full capacity (and yes, that is the government'€™s fault in RP and we blame them for that) and we had to do something. We were already paying the pirates every day AND losing a lot of ships and cargo every day. We did the math and decided is more profitable and safe to do it this way, because we don't risk loosing ships. In RP a single tanker is worth 100 mils, so 200 mils per months is a great deal.

Also this:

Doesn't the RM have a deal with the Unioners? Or the Bretonians with the Mollys? Isn't Samura supporting the Corsairs?

Edit: I forgot something. Look at all the other house militaries. when a pack of their house criminals show up they all go and fight them, wheter is LN, BAF or KNF. You see RHA and think: "oh, that's not our problem, they're only killing miners, let's have another drink on Hamburg
