You can mark us up as neutral and list Vesp as lawful trading if you'd like.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren of the Hellfire Legion,

On the behalf of our movement i am allowed to make the following statement - Weiße Rose never considered holding any hostilities towards Battlegroup Harmony, as we equally frankly crossed each others' zones of interest and operations, and, certainly - never interfered each others' business, besides one shameful exception of Helena Wunderbring going rogue and threatenig Harmony logistics vessel. This accident, however, was never sanctioned or approved by the rest of the members of our movement,
and the said person no longer considered trustworthy.
At the first opportunity, she will be subjected to interrogation and convicted in accordance with our statute.
However, your honest desire for cooperation have been noted, and now we will proceed to the exact subject of out contact. The Unioners.
As far as we are concerned - their fleet mostly consists mostly of snubcraft wings, however, capital ships was noted amongst the smaller vessels as well: their capital fleet consists of at least two 'Bismark" class battleships, one "Donau" class cruiser and two "Oder"
class gunboats, apparently obtained from Military by some unknown means, most likely - boarded. Meanwhile, no reports of Unioners operating in Rheinland was recieved so far, this only prooved the theory they are aware of something, and mostly sticking to Bering.
Reasons, however, are unknown.
Providing the list of currently known installations below:

1. Cruiser Schwarzwald, Omega-54, Sector Beta-2. Was reported by our Hessian allies.
   
2. Krefeld Base, Koeln, Sector Epsilon-3. Noted by local Freelancer patrols.
   
3. Leipheim base, Munich, Sector Delta-2. Noted by local Budschuh patrols.
   
4. Speyer base, Frankfurt, Sector Epsilon-7. An eyesore of our Homeland.
   
5. Wedel Mining Facility, Hamburg, Sector 4-Gamma. Noted by local Bundschuh patrols.
   

I believe, this is pretty much everything i have to tell you so far. I hope this information satisfies you.

Metagaming base locations during your officaldom vote.

Cool. Seriously, this is not okay. We would never randomly state locations like we're reading from the online nav-map about stations we rarely approach. How do you guys even know about the Schwartzwald's current position? The entire RP of the cruiser right now is that it's been concealed in the most impenetrable nebula in the omegas. Speyer is also meant to be hidden. The only bases you could viably know about in that kind of context is Pacifica and Wedel - and Wedel masquerades as an abandoned mining facility to avoid attracting undue attention.


At least do an event or something if you're going to handwave stuff like that into reality. It would create activity for both groups and be co-mutually enjoyable. Unless you want us posting all sorts of inane details about the Bundschuh in our RP. By this logic, the Unioners know the entire content of the Alaska system. I mean, huh? By this logic we might as well consider the content of all comms in the comm channel In-character viewable.

You guys are usually great at what you do, so this caught us really offguard.

By this logic I'm going to put "noted by patrols" next to every discreet or non-public thing in the cosmos. We're perfectly fine with you coming to our bases for encounters. Using knowledge of bases without developed RP? That's a bit weird.


I hope the mods scrub that so you can revise. The bit about the player-owned ships was pretty neat, as that's all something legitimately observable from encounters. Magically knowing the location of pirate bases ruins the suspension of disbelief for space being vast, nebulae and asteroid fields actually being treacherous, and above everything else, people being smart.

For context, the only Bundschuh base the Unioners RP awareness of is the Neu Berlin ex-LWB base. They're vaguely aware of Bleifeld but have no clue what the location is.

I've been trying to get the ship back from Ice Princess for months, but they're not responding to my PMs and this is the last place I can ask. That's a lot of equipment/It's a ship with forum RP behind it. Can you talk to him so we can get it back? Thanks. It's starting to be a problem.


Hope you guys get approved.
