Wheres the scrap?

[SA_Scavenger]

That was well hilarious. I hope the pilot has managed to find a solid fix for their connection woes:D. That Barge f1 bug is a monster.

Scavenger. Crimony. He was demonstrating a common ground by laying out a situation in which changes have affected his faction. The Bounty Hunter Guild hunts bounties. When a change is made to that system it affects them to the core. No pun intended.

You haven't had scrap for three days. That blows. It'll come back. Maybe.

In the meantime it sounds like you guys could use a little shake out of the bubble you've made for yourself. Junkers without the scrap mod are dead in the water? Please. The Congress was formed long before the mining mod was activated and were doing just fine.

Maybe it's time for you to adapt a bit. Maybe you could embrace that there's a facet or two to your existance beyond sitting at a dock point in a salvager shooting tin cans which you haul to Invarness. From the way you describe the Junkers maybe the scrap system was a mistake.

So you don't want to haul anything illegal because you're scared you might get caught, or that the mean 'ol BHG is looking for a way to be a bunch of pvpwhores. So then talk to the unlawfuls of Sirius. Get some shipping orders together. Move some supplies to their bases. Talk to people. Rat out unlawfuls to the cops. Rat out the cops to the unlawfuls. Embrace being the sneaky Zoners of the core.

Mining factions have been delt a serious blow, the GMS was based on group mining in a hostile environment. The Junkers were given scrap because I thought it would be a cool addition to their already hefty set of attributes. I would never have done anything of the kind if I thought it would result in the memberbase abandoning everything that makes Junkers cool to become a bunch of insulated rock bashers who scream and hiss everytime their bubble is imposed upon.

Here is the exact problem. Hawk and JT decided to make the Congress a more lawful entity. That was our RP, get it? Scrap was our commodity to continue with our RP. We know exactly what would happen if we started hauling contraband. We would be criminalized in every house, just like Kusari. There is no way to stop some indie freelancer from camping at every JH to take screenies of you, just to send it to every single house military and police. The very act of meta-gaming destroyed any chance of Junkers actually being quasi-legal. The Congress had a choice, continue smuggling and be declared criminals in every single house, or adopt a more legit form of trade in scrap. They chose scrap, that's our RP deal with it.

How about we make mercs not allowed to kill anyone. You guys must adapt, come on, deal with it. Start trading or something.
