JUNKER FREEPORT PROPOSAL

[Gamazson]

Well folks I was just in a Skype convo with Dab and I think I have a location for the Freeport. He has advised me that Igiss will be more inclined to allowing the creation of this base in a empty or an entirely new one.

So I have done some serious research of Sirius and narrowed a good spot for this Freeport. I chose this location because it will incorporate the best diversity of pirate factions that would make use of such a base. I propose adding a new system in between Magellan and Cambridge.

This will surprise many of you because it will seem like one heck of a shortcut, but I did some number crunching and it is not that bad. I can't find any trade route through this region that would greatly effect the balance the economy. There were two thing about commodities I did notice.

1) Artifacts will be made easier to take into Liberty. Which is good. At the 4.83 bull and sell prices for this commodity this will fit with Igiss's newly made smuggling routes. The shorter time should balance Artifacts with Cardimine which sells in 4.84 for close to 2500.

2) Luxury Food will make you 5 million dollars in a one way run from Cambridge to Manhattan that will take roughly 15 minutes. I might point out that traders will be flying past the Grandaddy of all pirate hangouts to do this. If you still don't understand, let me illustrate. A trader would be flying a train full of Grade A beef past a bunch of unlawfuls who may or may not have eaten in the last week. I think we can overlook this because it would make great RP. Besides I haven't been able to isolate a decent return commodity anyway.

Some of you will immediately wonder about diamonds. Dab sure did. Don't worry they buy for 880 on Cambridge and sell for 990 on Manhattan. Nothing is going to get smacked out of whack there. (dabs fear was the proximity to the Omegas but evidently there is already a major rote from there anyway. Hardly worth the extra length to go to liberty and this route doesn't effect Honshu at all)

So I welcome you opinions about this planed location and I want to hear some suggestions for a name for this base. The intention is that this will be a Freeport but if that dosen't fly I want a backup. Tortuga is in the hat but it is a very blatant rip-off. Lets see if we can't find some other pirate ports worth mentioning. Oh while I am at it I am going to put the name Kingston in the hat as well.

I am now off to do more commoddity research for that region so that I can have the buy and sell commodities spreed sheet / chart or whatever put up ASAP.
