' Wrote:Yet, how can we express our support so everyone is happy and they feel supported by their military? Please, I'm all ears on ideas.
long time ago, even long before the mining-nerv i used to mine in T23.
The CR did a great job in exactly this madder you are talking of.
As far as i got it, they were doing RP-patrols through the whole system, even the unpopulated areas, and everytime they passed they delivered some nice interaction by asking how the current status was asking about recent unlawful activities and so on.
When you were mining and every 20 mins a wing of 3 CR passed, asking how the status what, one felt very protected.
Now, the CR has only very few systems to cover so of course they can show more presence.
Well, my experiences with the House Militaries aren't that great.
If i met them somewhere they usually asked to stop to scan for contraband, seeing me more as potential criminal than as law-abiding citizen that's maybe in need of protection. Once they scanned me, i mostly got a simple "You're clear to go." - and off they were again.
Of course not every Military Players act like this, but this is the main interaction i have with those.
I think it would be a whole different atmosphere, if those players would instead ask about recent events in the area where i am coming from, or would be warning about recent pirate activities in the area i am heading to, while they scan for contraband.
Just an idea about the topic.

' Wrote: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
Erm...
We [The RHA] increased our mining effords in O11 lately, exspecially since the [RF] joined our cause, since they are former miners.
So therefore there is an increased Hessian activity in this system, heck we consider it as one of our Core-/Homesystems, being directly connected with O54.
Have you ever entered it through the Stuttgard Jumphole?
It's desolate, full of asteroids and rocks which deliver a great chance for an ambush, you even need navigation buoys to lead you to Solarius - also the Sun is constantly burning everything in this system which is why Solarius had to be build in the "shadow" of that Planet in order not to get burned (and Freital inside an enormous asteroid).
I guess the RM could hardly efford to send ships there, and exspecially they can't guarantee for savety.
In Omega 7 the Daunmanns started hiring Mercs, so why don't they start doing so in O11?
(Also i've seen many Daunmanns trying to mine in O11 at the "high-drops"-Field like 120k from Solaris station and 6k from the O54 Jumphole...)
