[Event] An Exchange of Pleasantries + GRP ID Conversion (Completed)

[Laura C.]

Actually there is issue with laws generally. In almost all houses, all foreign military ships are banned until permitted specifically. Thus any military IDed escorts are illegal. And in some houses, wording of the laws sets that even military IDed transports are banned. So it is actually quite a problem to participate in this event legally at this moment.

Does this apply to the BAF merchant navy?

Isn't the point of this not only to gain profit but to also promote roleplay?

I don't see the problem of the Houses contacting each other for temporary escorts of specific shipments.

In case of Rheinland and BAF, according to Rheinland laws transports can enter legally but any combat vessels (thus including escorting snubs) can not.

§4. All foreign military and intelligence agency combat vessels of any size are banned from Rheinland, unless permission to enter is given by a High Command member. All foreign military combat vessels entering Rheinland without permission may be destroyed.

That itself is not a problem, problem is that it will take several days or maybe even more to finish this roleplay. In the meantime, there will be awkward situations or even conflicts ingame, because explaining this whole stuff (that there is active event but it can not be fullfilled legally right now so escorts or even transports have to turn back home) will be sometimes quite hard. This could have been avoided if house govs would know about this event more in advance and the necessary roleplay would have been done or at least in progress at this moment.

Which is why we expect people to actually, you know, roleplay. Get permissions to enter, PM people IRP and arrange escorts to deliver the goods.
That sort of thing. Figure it out - it ain't rocket science.

Things being said, witnessing Samura IFF ships smuggling military equipment between Bretonia-Rheinland is quite weird. How did they acquire those goods from Military affiliated bases in the first place?

I think smuggling shouldn't be available as RP to justify it would most likely not going to happen. Plus, encountering those smugglers on your BAF transport is weird, let alone trying to seize them with your no CD ship and already full cargo.

Well then, start making those BAF bombers. Go to the border, set up a checkpoint. Make a military transport to retrieve ill-gotten cargo. You know how this works, surely.

I did that precisely, but there isn't enough RP encouragement to stop the smugglers, I'd rather use that BAF transport to ship the goods myself.

Sorted my.... issue.
Took one of my FL ID'd 'funboats', stuck a LN ID on it, got a BIG transport (4300 cargo with lots of guns and *not* a Bison) and went trading.

Managed to get pirated along the way by a very reasonable Pirate, total cost, $15 mill plus 5 cargo and a little chat/rp along the way.

@the Pirate in question, profit was only $50 mill in that ship, not $80!

Long story short, said ship shows up as FL (I think, due to who I am most friendly with, could be wrong) but has an LN ID.

I don't attract attention from various NPC's and don't get shot at out of hand by Players either.

I'm tempted to keep it for a while -or- trade my long standing Bison for the same ship, more guns, heavier hull, same cargo and best of all... NO WAGGLE in GOTO!

Do the Privateers fall into the BAF? They are sort of a sanctioned auxilary.

I understand that the route would not work for Rheinland to Kusari and Kusari to Liberty due to reputation issues.
