Reapers in Poole?

[Jazzi]

Hey chaps,

Whilst I understand most don't even go into this system.... why is there a Reaper base in the middle of Poole? Something I miss?

Reaper are former-Outcast, who try to establish themself as lawful organisation. They are pretty much allies of Bretonia as far as i know.

The Reapers of Sirius have been granted an additional main purpose to fulfill, and a pair of external bases to help them be an accomplished faction. The Development Team will keep an eye on this group to see if they become active again, or not.

A quote from here.

What confuses me is with the Brallian economy that the reapers themselves proclaim as "gawd-awful", that they could afford putting a reaper base in Poole. If the Bretonian government gave the station to them, why do it in the one place that apparently is meant to be a fallback if New London falls to Gallia? Does anyone have link to any rp on the matter i could read up on?

EDIT: #NinJAD

EDIT2: To me seems peculiar to get two bases without rp for getting them - but hey. What do I know? On that note, you should remove NAP between Gaian and Gallia because... well that is probably the biggest thing holding that faction back at mo adn they are gunning for officaldom too.

There's one in Koeln too, right next to the Lane

These are systems were the reapers having a base doesn't actually make any difference though right? I mean, ok they can base ships out of there, but if they are having good rep and working for lawful at wasn't an issue anyway. If they are there to provide trade routes for the reapers, then why not have the trade routes going into Cayman to help Brallian economy? Wouldn't it be more thematic and rp-driven to have to apply or f or purchase hanger space in lawful bases? That would emphasise actual RP between reapers and lawful houses to act on there stated aims whilst creating some activity - whether ingame or on forums.

What are these two bases actually contributing to help Reapers achieve their approval apart from more pixels being labelled Reaper?

I still wonder what the purpose they're meant to fulfil is. The dev post was kinda vague.

The Reapers are an Interesting faction IMO, And they do indeed have a base in Koeln, Poole, and Omega 7

Also, I don't think the Reapers main goal is to transport ores/Resources (Although wouldnt be a bad idea), I believe it is Destroying the SCRA (Correct me if Im wrong, I may be a bit off!)

Reapers are cool and interesting imo as well - just how does it actually help anything to have these Koeln and Poole bases for free? What activity do the Poole and Koeln bases bring? Inrp, what economical benefits do they bring? I would argue Reapers should've just bought some hangers on timeshare. If I'm on a budget but want to go to Cornwall every year for holiday for two weeks, why would I buy a whole house? If I'm a corp on start-up funds operating in Germany but want to set up operations in France I'm not going to buy a full on office building straight away, am I?

The original purpose of the RoS was to A: Unify the Hispanians into a House and B: Destroy the Coalition. However it lacks the numbers to do either of these things in reality and are seen more as an annoyance rather than a threat by either the Coalition or the Hispanics nowadays.
