Quote:The BAF as it stands now does assist the BMM but I'm still strugging my shoulders as to why this is actually happening. The BAF is infact a Military Organization branched from the Government so why the hell do they want to be BMM"s Body Guards when they should and is very able to easily find a Mercenary or Freelancer thats payable for Protection.
Dublin was declared to be under martial law. And the BMM are the economic engine that drives the BAF's war effort - they drive the construction of new craft, supply of existing craft, and funding for additional resources. It's only natural BMM gets BAF protection in a time of war.
As for the BPA, yea, technically they should be shooting the Mollies and Sairs, but given that the BPA cannot use capital craft directly... They are simply outclassed once Scyllas or Osirises start to appear. In all truth, the civilian police should likely become a subset of the military in most cases, and be freely able to use all guns, military snubs, and the gunboats. That will put them on-par with most pirate factions.
Quote:What will happen if the BAF see MMC Selling ORE at the Hood? Will BAF Attack The Hood or walk away?
IMG would boot the instigator of that attack, be it the Molly or the BAF. A HMS indy deciding to take some potshots at the Molly barge for instance, would be torn apart by IMG and Mollies alike. A Molly blarghest taking potshots at traders coming for ore would be evicted just as quickly. But the whole point of this division (I think) is to allow the BAF to concentrate their forces, basically around Essex and a single mining field, to secure the BMM operations there. Hood would end up more or less a freeport - open to anyone who's not hostile to IMG, and doesn't come with hostile intent.
IMG would likely lean towards accepting this, with the stipulation that under no circumstances they would be forced to attack Mollies, when the BAF/BPA tries to chase them off. So basically, IMG would stay neutral in those fights.
Beneficial for all factions involved:
- BAF gets a tighter area to patrol. No more responding to every squeal from every field.
- BMM gets some more safety, especially various indies, in the BAF zone.
- Mollies get an area where they know they're going to meet heavier resistence. More agression between BAF and Mollies is going to be enjoyable for all involved.
- IMG becomes more or less responsible for their own safety in Dublin (we'll likely end up working with CR and the Mollies to get that sorted)
