I'd like to point out Unioners helped Corsairs to capture that station. Ask Tanith.

The only argument pepole are saying is "sairs cant fight on all fronts". But seemingly RHA and rheinland are fine moving their assets into sair territory freely as they wish. Is there any real reason why sairs are being deleted slowly from the game, do the devs really think that sairs are that weak inrp ?
EDIT: Not to mention SCRA would like to share half of the system that is one jump from our gaurd system cuz why not "sairs cant fight on all directions so they woudnt risk a war with SCRA"
we got a base in sigma somewhere
(TBH leaders didnt ask or knew about this.)
and one of the bases was moved to kappa
we lost another base that was made into johnsons depot in Omega
we lost Mindelo and got the base in Frankfurt overnight
corsair destroyer not done after a year +
Quality meme.
The RHA haven't been moving any assets anywhere, I specifically requested nothing this update in regards to advancements in territory. Clavius and I both agreed on leaving Omega-5 and Omega-47 as they are, as well as pretty much every other Omega system. I would like to see one example of me asking to move RHA assets and over extend. Ironically, I can't overextend without massive repercussions, the Corsairs however, have been offered a new Battleship every update, are somehow pushing into Poole with no repercussions (as it has been for the past 830921839012839012803919 years), and I can quote skype logs if you don't believe me. The Xi campaign is pre-determined and was only made as a gameplay incentive xdddddddddddddddddddddddd.
No one's keeping guard systems anymore, welcome to the club, if Omicron Omega is de-guarded its no different than any other guard system being de-guarded.
Finally, the Frankfurt base for the Corsairs made no sense inrp and oorply. Every Rheinland leader in the story chat (thats right me tanith char iber and laura agreed on something which means whoever made the idea really messed up) agreed the Corsairs should not have a base in Frankfurt. Inrply there's no possible explanation for them being able to push through and maintain their own base in the system. OOrply their argument was they wanted to stage raids from the base (when was the last time the corsairs raided Frankfurt LOL), which they can do from the Unioner base. There's 0 reason for the Corsairs to have any presence in Rheinland with the Xi campaign going on, but then again as I said before, they're like Gallia mk2 with no repercussions.

i meant to say significantly gaurded system- gaurd systems but okay.

just like putting a base in xi right next to crete and also not to mention the inrp assests sairs have in xi, Inrply there's no possible explanation for them being able to push through and maintain their own base in the system. OOrply their argument was they wanted to stage raids from the base (when was the last time the corsairs raided xi LOL ), which they can do from the munich base which like 5k from the jh. There's 0 reason for the Rheinland to have any presence in Xi with the amount of stuff sair stuff in xi, but then again as I said before, they're like Gallia mk2 with no repercussions.
Ybers stuff read and made sense, shouldnt have called him out or wesker.

While I was asking for a new Cryer base for quite some time (back when I was leading Wisp), the way Johnson was added is really embarrassing. It was not consulted with the Cryer playerbase at the time and when I moved to Teerin with a proposed solution to this he just cut the conversation with "lol u no official". As it stands, the base has possibly the third worst name in the mod (following Dagger and Manitoba), sells no meaningful commodities, is still listed in FLStat as selling Corsair ships, has had absolutely ZERO RP done about its construction and should, imho, be removed or replaced.

The base in Frankfurt was stupid and removing it was an entirely correct move, however I only learned that it was removed like 3 days ago so it would be nice if those kinds of changes were more visible.
Also can someone explain to me wth is another random order battleship doing in Theta?

I agree with your points about it just... "appearing", but as the lead of a Cryer faction, we do have plans regarding RP with the Corsairs surrounding the station. So I will have to respectfully disagree that it should be removed, when there is a lot of RP potential with it in regards Cryer/Corsair relations.

No they didn't lmfao, Tanith was one of the people agreeing that it should've been a unioner base.

What you are seeing is called storyline progression, and no the Corsairs are not being deleted from Omicron space. That is simply too absurd to even comprehend.
It's been a rather long day so I'll be quite blunt, this entire thread is nothing more than rumour and wild speculation. The Story team frequently consult factions both official and unofficial regarding changes, we also discuss matters with those knowledgeable in certain regions or factions if no one else is available. We can't always carry out the suggestions given to us but we do try to strike an even balance.
Beyond that you can think whatever the hell you like, it doesn't make it true.
I, for contrary, like the fact that Liberty Corps are to make deals with Corsairs. After all, Liberty isn't officially in state of war with Corsairs, only by default as Corsairs are perceived as bunch of unlawfuls. Cryer and Corsairs have a common foe: Outcasts. They have a mutual advantages from being kept in a shady alliance, although I'd see neutrality between Corsairs and Liberty. The only ire is Artifact Trade, which Liberty banned for the in-game 23 years.
This little bird went to sleep forever. So long.
Thank you for everything.
