The Mollys + Post #109.

[Laowai]

"I hear Corsairs operate in New London and Dublin. How would that be the case... they can swathe all their way across a Navy and Police held system (Cambridge, Leeds, New London, Dublin) avoiding the lawfuls there as well as Mollys and Hessians who already want to kill them (Omega 5, etc), dodge all that and get to New London..... to go and attack Mollys, etc... who btw, also have a presence in Londonderry, Omega 49 and Dublin at the same time and are already a thorn in your side in those areas."

Don't start this argument Lao. It doesn't look good for the Corsairs. :P

No, its easy. Corsairs are powerful, really powerful, So are the Outcasts, and so are the Hessians... which is why all of those groups have expansive ZOI's and no one really takes issue with it, because its feasible - all that is lodged way back as far as Vanilla lore.
Corsairs also have access to most of those areas and the systems they pass through, 41, 5, 47 are disputed systems - pretty much parts of them are controlled by one side or the other... as it was pointed out to me by some hessian players a while back.. Hessians can move through Omega 5 for example because really, they control the top half of it, that, and they are powerful, they have bigger fleets, can take bigger losses and all the fun that comes with being... well... large. The way I view it, "the big two" (being OC's and Corsairs) get the leeway they do in ZOI simply because of their (perceived) power in the storyline... like i said, my take on it... New London for example, would be a bugger for the Corsairs to get to, I agree on that, but, its there and its included.

As I said, the Mollies are not the outcasts, Hessians or Corsairs. Their concerns (in my opinion) should be a lot more localized - Knock yourselves out in Brettonia.

The Molly presence in Omega 49 btw, is problematic... If there is in game info cards or anything else backing that up then ok, Ill stand corrected.
But in pure player driven terms as i have said (3 times now) I can concede the omega 49 point.
