Well SevereTrinity has already had a Kusari Explorer run into an Outcast with a LH Gunboat, result were good. I already forgot the name he gave it but it went fine, myself I haven't made a combat GMG yet...
Trade vessels: GMG|Asiansea|T or GMG-Convoy|Asiansea
Thoughts?
EDIT: Here, for transport naming conventions:
Quote:The twenty-two major seaports designated as special important ports by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport include Chiba, Fushiki/Toyama, Himeji, Hiroshima, Kawasaki, Kitakyūshū, Kobe, Kudamatsu, Muroran, Nagoya, Niigata, Osaka, Sakai/Senpoku, Sendai/Shiogama, Shimizu, Shimonoseki, Tokyo, Tomakomai, Wakayama, Yokkaichi, and Yokohama.
One thing to remember about GMG is that as the other Kusarian factions, it also has a very japanese way of conducting business. By "japanese" I mean backstabbing. Samura won't be stopped through Sigma-13 by GMG forces. It's just their transport will accidentally get attacked by Dragons somewhere on the way, and - just as accidentally - their transmission regarding help against Dragons will never be heard by the GMG. But if they come up to the GMG's faces, everything is fine and dandy. Remember not to be open about GMG stance with Dragons. It's a carefully guarded secret, otherwise Kusari would come to deal with the Guild.
As to the question who will we fight: Outcasts, Corsairs, Hogosha, possibly even Farmers Alliance if they are helping their Hogosha friends. Despite the ridiculous NPC alignment (i've made countless arguments about it), we should try to ignore Bundschuh until they openly attack us.
Also naming convention: japanese names and surnames for security, names of islands/seaports in the Okhotsk sea for transports and explorers. Check the Islands of the Sea of Okhotsk box here. My trader character is GMG|GTS-Baydukov (GTS meaning Guild Transport Ship).
As for the relationship with the Dragons, what would we state them as such in the official status? Everyone knows ooRP that the GMG are allied to the Dragons 'neath cloak and dagger, but in RP they wouldn't. So what would the faction rep on the status page be listed as?
Bundschuh would be neutral. There's absolutely no reason to fight them, or care for them. They hate Rheinland all the same, but the GMG wouldn't care for any of their kind either.
EDIT: Does anyone have a map of Sigma-59? Is there anything there?

I'm sure you will all be interested to know that HFuel will actually be moderately profitable for trading in 4.85; somewhere just below the profitability of Boron in 4.84, although with substantially more possible transactions. In fact, Hfuel will have more specific price points than any other commodity, although the potential for immediate transactions after each sale will be more limited than for other commodities, thus decreasing the overall profitability. But if you're creative, you'll figure out how to make it work for you.

I had to jump in and reply.
Actually it is good to hear about the commodities, sounds like the prices will rise including buying prices.
These prices should reflect more on other's coming to buy H-fuel. Ourselves, we should be mining it and filling our hulls with it for free (aside from time).
Now I have been slow to go to mining as there is a hindrance on the mining itself.
Something I hope gets changed, however, if each unit is worth a fair amount harvesting may still be viable, albeit in the smaller ships who bring it to a larger one.
