My opinion about Outcasts in Liberty.

"I looked up and all I saw was green death"

[Dennis Jameson]

It's weird that my reasoning behind this thread was my jealousy of the Outcast freedom to visit Liberty versus the one of the Unioners.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but I'll bite anyway...

As far as I know the Unioners only have interests in Rheinland, and I really can't see a reason for them wishing to enter Liberty proper (although Unioners entering the border systems is perfectly reasonable).

Now, to reply to the thread as a whole... Most of the Outcasts who go to Liberty are people who didn't want to be restricted to the basic weaponry the Pirate ID offers them, and indeed most of these indies would never go out of their way to earn the permission needed to use "good" pirate weaponry on their generic pirate ID characters, so they take the easy route and go Outcast because of our vast ZOI and decent weaponry.

Some might claim that there are ways to control these indies, and compare this situation to the one of the Corsairs and other such factions. They couldn't be more wrong. We have the most indie pirates because our ZOI includes Liberty, and we have good guns. It's not easy to stop indies from doing something as basic as pirating within what is basically our ZOI, so if we started to clamp down on them the admins would get agitated.

I recall one time when I requested FR5 reports for several indie Outcasts who were doing stupid things in Liberty... nothing came out of it.

So all in all: Before you come crying to me about indies acting like idiots in Liberty and Kusari... make sure to consider the fact that what they are doing is perfectly legal in the eyes of the admins, and clamping down on indies doing perfectly legal things could result in the same thing that happened to Black Squadron when they tried clamping down on their indies. (Or at least I think it was Black Squadron. Feel free to correct me on that.)

What does it have to do with the Lane Hackers?
And no Corsair infocards mention 'cardamine addiction is easy to get rid of'

It had nothing to do at all with the Hackers. Nor was it directed towards you. I'm just tired of the constant "sniffer" crap and people "RP'ing" they'd feel high after using it. Happens mostly in Liberty.
The thing about the corsairs was a mere side-note concerning the harvesting outcast organs crap.

Go play the game, within the given limitations. That is how role play games are played. Not by trying to work around those limitations or whining about them.

I have to disagree. There are substances what induce similar primary effects that cardi does... And most come with a feeling of 'high'. Those that not can't be compared with the rest in effectiveness. But of course with something that addictive as cardi, the body accommodates after a while so the 'high' state becomes the basic mental state of the user, and he only precepts the lack of it in case of withdrawal.

(do you remember your first cigarette? And the first box?)

I like Outcasts that run / help run Cardamine and well uh ... supply themselves along the way. Who wouldn't? Er, "lawful" population excluded ...

Oh thanks for dispatching some fighters few days back, Dennis. The diversion is extra welcome while you're going in for a drop at the capital planet.

But hey, really, between Pueblo and Planet New Tokyo spans an area that is not established as having a hispanic population of either kind. Rumor has it that there are some ugly monsters lurking among the dark matter clouds. But er ... don't quote me on that.
