Hello. Some of you Consortium folks migh know me as the "Freelancer-who-helped-escort-The Leonardo". Otherwise I don't think you people have heard of me.
Basically what I'm asking is this: Can I purchase a Conference Gunboat? The reason for this is that it would be the only gunboat that would allow me to travel throughout Sirius without... erm... complications. Also, if it means anything to you, I never accept contracts from Slavers or Freeport NFZ violators.
Although I'm pretty sure I will not be allowed to buy this exceptional piece of technology, I would still like to hear more than a "NO".
Waiting for your answer.

Ilya out.

No.

Until you tell us what exactly it will be used for. Then I will revise my decision, and possibly change it.

I am with Ms. Silvan on this one. What are your intentions for this ship?

The reason for this is that it would be the only gunboat that would allow me to travel throughout Sirius without... erm... complications.

Exactly what do you mean by this statement? A Zoner ship isn't a sign of neutrality as much as it is the person flying it, how they act, and the ID and IFF they carry.
I need more information on this request.

I'll try to answer you... Lets see... Transporting crew members or friends to other people safely - Scientists to a FA member for example. Keep in mind that I will not transport prisoners or slaves to anyone.
Possibly transporting vital supplies (food, water, oxygen) to stations and/or people in need.
Hauling objects with scientific value to research stations and possibly museums from their discovery sites.
Maybe even doing some mapping of a particular system if a client requests that.
Basically, as you may see yourself, I need a hardy ship that has enough cargo and doesn't arise suspicion from my clients. I hope this explains some things.
If your answer is still no, so be it.

My apologies Doc.Holliday, your message just came in. By complication I mean something like this: say I use a Kusari Explorer vessel and my contact is Bretonian. I don't want to have a possibility of losing a job just because I am flying a ship manufactured in the space of the nation that opposes Bretonia.

I know that a Zoner-manufactured ship doesn't gain one neutrality. It just seems to be the best choice if one wants to be as neutral to anyone as possible. Besides, the more important reason why I'd like to use this ship is because of its cargo hold and agility ratio.

/Opening long range comms. . . Done.

Reviewing this transmission, I have to say if your intent is merely to avoid the absurdities of House-born polotics, then I see no problem, I'll pester Chairwoman Silvan over it in your favor in the meantime. I too must agree, as my first vessel I owned, of all ships, was a civilian-class Rheinland vessel. Got me many undesired problems in Liberty until I landed my Talon.

If the good Doctor Holiday or Miss Silvan contacts you otherwise, let me know, until then I believe I'll poke and prod them towards a final decision if I can.

My honest reaction upon reading the forums, whenever I rarely do. Joe Kucan, he's the man.

Oh, this is still open? Anyways, I wasn't given a response via any comms, so I took it as a 'no'. If you can alter their final decision to a 'yes', it would be great, but do take your time if you need to.

Ilya fought bravely to defend the Leonardo Research Facility on its way through the Omicrons while it was being savagely pursued by a Nomad armada.

As one of the current Board Members for the Zoners Consortium, I have no issue with Ilya purchasing this vessel.

For now I have no objection, you may purchase one if you wish. Understand, however, that this decision may be reversed if we find you are using the Conference for activities that may harm us or our neutrality.

Your intentions sound ok in your wish of one of our gunboats. I'll give my blessing on this. I just hope no complaints about your use of it come across my desk. May Eris guide you.
