Guess I missed this one.

Worth pointing out that we do go hostile with the groups that we shoot up. The Junkers are a good example due to losing docking rights on their installations after we agreed to mess up your day for the Farmer and Kusari bounties.

Now those bounties are dried up. We're not shooting you anymore, but we still can't dock on your bases. If that's not a long term consequence for actions taken I don't know what is.

On the note of never swaying from a sponsoring group. Sure we do.

The Reavers got their start working for the LN against the HF. Then we moved to fighting whoever the Outcasts wanted us to fight. Then we got major money working for the Mollies against the BAF.

Then the major anti-Cartel deals showed up and we had the chance to make some serious money at the cost of forever ticking off the Outcasts. Outcasts have some wicked good equipment, but we decided to follow the money. Outcasts now hostile.

Then the Mollies shut down their bounty board and told us to get the heck out. Turns out we could make some money shooting them too. Mollies also have wicked good technology. Still shot them in the face. Followed the money.

It's less so about tech and moreso about long term reliable business. We don't take our money in advance so we work to keep those persons who are most likely to have the greatest amount of long term work available. Have to be picky with your clients and targets which sometimes means letting some good contracts slip on by, but at the end of the day that's all that it's about. Where the next paycheck will come from and it's better in a greater picture sense than what the other guy is offering.
