Liberty police Incorporated is a, well Corporation, large parts of their operation are Consumer and other goods produced and mined by criminals and de-facto legalised slave labour. So my question is ...


5k transport access when?

My question is: Will it be useful to the LPI? I understand the fact they are a corporation but still they don't trade ore.

LPI should be using liners and armored transports, not large transport vessels with little to no defense. Leave the latter as a job for the other corporations which can be easily hired to do the heavy hauling.

Would a greedy, profit driven corporation known for cost cutting that produces textiles, food and smelts metals overpay with using expensive liners/armored transports or 3rd party movers when moving said commodities within Liberty?

I mean really? A liner for a shipment of T-shirts? By a corp that withdraws food and water from it's labour as a standard discipline measure?

This is a valid point - in roleplay - they do trade with metals and Ores, have arguably one of the largest smelters in Liberty.

In Practice? Actual players? Not so much, so far. That and ID becoming too strong are the main arguments against this.

Regardless of its lore, LPI is a police faction, not a trading faction. And yes, a greedy corporation would outsource transportation of its produce to the cheapest bidder.

And there are too many factions / corporations with access to 5K'ers.
Police factions should not have access in my opinion.
Their job isn't to haul items. Their job is to stop the hauling of illegal items.

In the words of Sergeant Conrad Gernale, LPI:
Quote:"Even though the name of our company uses the word "police" in its title, I'm more of a factory manager than a law enforcement officer. I'm more concerned with squeezing all the production I can out of the miscreant workers here. Usually they are more inspired to work if I hold back their Food Rations for a day or two. That always helps boost productivity."

And yes it would, but between their own controlled spaces with existing logistical infrastructure, like say Texas and Manhattan - it'd be way more efficient to use in house shipping
