' Wrote:[font=Comic Sans Ms]Thing is, Dab and Alex, Galileo is supposedly a major trade corridor in independent space. At least in role play, it is. Galileo is the trade route between two houses, goods fly to and fro in abundance, backed up by ingame infocards ("Lore"). Hell, a second set of trade lanes was commissioned because Galileo was so alive. In reality however, the trade routes that go through there aren't worth the time and risk. Nerfing the sell point in Cassini would screw over honest smugglers, not just NPC pirates (who, by the by, aren't actually hurting anyone). If you wish to 'fix' Galileo, do so by tweaking the trade routes through it. More traders = more pirates = more navy = roleplay. Nerfing this "pot of gold" (I put that in quotations because NPC drops can be truly abismal there - e.g, little profit) would only push this so-called problem elsewhere. Like say, Dublin.
Oh and, the point about Cassini being so gosh darn close? If it's that upsetting, move the jumphole into the Padua fields.
' Wrote:The point isn't so much that it's somewhat low or remote, it's that there is absolutely no risk. Even running random commodities, every lane can have a pirate on it. This is a spot to make money where you're never farther 18k of clear space from a safety point in one of the strongest ships in the game. That's the problem.
And the issue isn't that, it's that it's being used to make money while dodging interaction.
If you'd read, Padua buys a lot of the same items. It's fine. It's 40k away, and Leiden is a similar distance with an asteroid field. If people were running to there it'd be no problem because there is a chance to stop them before they get to a safe haven and there is risk, but Cassini is just so close.
Also before the topic of "You just are angry because people get away to Cassini" check the (KNF bounty board) thread I linked and look at my kills. Half of them are in Cassini. I have no problems killing people there, but it's just too easy to run to.
And the KNF and LN quite simply does not come out here. If the pirates were moved to Dublin, they wll be forced to roleplay with others.
