Hey, I'm a big noob - can you guys come forward if your faction/group is willing to fill unlawful PoBs on some long-term deals? How would those look like?
We can't exactly advertise openly on comms channel for "hidden" bases. I'm also wondering how economics work in long term deals - do you just set price on bases you agree on for commods or do I have to keep making threads etc. Are there some quarterly deals and such. What has to be in it for you to bother is what I'm asking? Is someone just willing to pop in discord, ask for price we set for buying repair and FWO stuff and keep filling without extra hassle?
e.g. one I fill with brigands IFF someone else built and I keep it for them (Core2) has HS, FWO 60k away, RA 120k away that can be shortened a bit by tradelanes crew, rh miles away, what'd be the costs there.
For these RP unlawful bases it will be insanely hard to keep them stocked solo when the changes hit in a week or so - and you have them for the story not for economical gain, spending so much time on them takes away from, you know doing unlawful business. And you don't want to push your members into filling a base with damn hull segments when they joined to shoot stuff up. It already took a decent amount of time which was nice to farm activity, but now it will be a burden. It was just under the acceptable time to fill stuff, and I know other unlawful bases were even deteriorating and now they will be screwed without outside help. I hope people who like hauling will use the opportunity.
We are facing the same issue in Blood Dragons etc. I assume almost all RP bases of non-hauling factions without 5kers will be in the same boat, unlawful much more so with nodock reps to typical repair commod selling bases.
I would get ahold of specific groups or factions. It might be a pain in the butt at first, but flying around where different factions are and talking to them might enable you to send a faction specific comm to strike an RP deal. What I did a few years ago when I was building ConEx and helping the Gaians, I often sat in space with certain parties for our discussion and then made a comm eluding to "The deal we spoke about is a go. We will be there" or some such, keeping it vague but implying a private conversation was had so that we weren't meta'd.
Since you are Blood Dragons, your close ally in the region is the GC. They have a core 5 in Shikoku. I can personally introduce you to their leader. Otherwise I'm uncertain of your plans. You can PM me specifics and I can help you the best way I can.
All the best
It ain't about what you are capable of, it's about what you're willing to do.

I know English is not your first language and I don't mean to offend, but please make your statement clearer. If you are saying it wouldn't make sense to use KKJ then I advise you to do less "pew" and do more reading.

Just use (whitelisted?) Freelancer Pirate Trains or L'Ane. It's not meta IMO as those are generic IDs anyway, you are simply RPing as someone shady enough to work with pirates. Yeah, they can haul less cargo but unlawful bases are supposed to be harder to upkeep anyway.
Othervise, in your place I'd try to submit a dev request for the devs to add some NPC patrols that haul POB RMs nearby that could be farmed to reduce the time (and cost) it takes to upkeep unlawful POBs.

I mean - I don't want to haul myself The previous decay was just about what I could handle comfortably. Just wondering if some people want to help for cash
There's lots of unlawful factions PoB's which would benefit from such INRP player assistance.
The issue is that nobody plays Junkers anymore.
Zoners that do play have no interest in supplying a PoB with dailys.
INRP not many else have the INRP capacity to help.
Also, there's quite a few players who are willing to help, just they kinda crap themselves the second you mention the forum. Many reasons given... but that's not important.
KKJ is no longer a PoB though, it's an actual canon base in the game now.
As far as stocking a BD base goes, there's plenty factions who used to assist with this. Consider that GMG is secretly allied to BD, IMG has historically assisted, Crayter used to be a BD ally, Bretonia used to have deals with BD. OS&C have been supporters of the BD movement in the past. Hell, even Coalition could help if some good routes for them persisted once they get their Battletransport.
Your options are all there. Do the roleplay. I used to just fine.
Sadly, I've had enough of BD, so you can't count on my help there as I'm not interested.
When contending with a monster, you'd be wise to give the devil his due.

Oh, Junkers, yeah they would have be the ones for this kind of a thing, damn
