<span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%]IMG - Lane Hacker Diplomacy - A Reminder

The Lane Hackers are a group of unlawfuls who mainly operate in Magellan and that have a special relationship with the IMG that is an open secret.

The Hackers have the potential to make the shortest route to New York Detroit longer (Cortez detour), more expensive (order to drop cargo) and potentially deadly.


The Guild and the Lane Hackers treat each other neutrally. We are not great friends, and sometimes there are confrontations and problems, but we want them to be neutral.

=> General Rule: Avoid all confrontation.



The Lane Hackers are dependent on Freeport 4 (Magellan) access to supply their hidden bases. So they need the IMG to some extent. We use that to our advantage.

=> Do not be surprised to meet Lane Hackers at Freeport 4.



The Lane Hackers normally do not stop IMG ore convoys as long as they consist of IMG ships.

=> If you want to be safe, only take IMG ships into your convoy.



If Lane Hackers stop IMG only convoys, they normally only make moderate demands which we can easily satisfy.

=> Inform them about the IMG-Hacker diplomacy, but pay them before it comes to a confronation. Screen the incident.



Lane Hackers stop/tax/attack/destroy non-IMG ships even though they are part of the IMG convoy even if there is a superiour IMG escort force.

=> Do not attack the Lane Hackers. Bribe them away, pay them, explain the situation, but never use or threaten the use of force. Find a peaceful solution. Remeber: they Hackers can hit every convoy. We are talking hundreds of millions of losses if they decide to regard us as enemies!


In case a Lane Hacker does something stupid (like charging an IMG only convoy a huge sum), get evidence of the action so that IMG and Lane Hackers can clarify the incident afterwards.

=> Screen everything and avoid violence. In case of an attack, make sure you did everything you could to avoid it and make sure you screened it, so that IMG and Lane Hacker leaders can get rid of the problem.


Thank you for reading this.
