While we're on the subject of Xenos, is there any trade that Xenos won't object to? Or will they just find a way to spin every kind of cargo such that they somehow make Liberty more corrupt? Possibly like so:
- Gate/Lane Parts: "So the foreign swine can be allowed to travel the stars faster, never mind that Liberty did it first? Die!"
- Alien Organisms: "There might be nomads in there! You dare infest us?! You must die!"
- Oxygen: "We only breathe Liberty air! Die!"
...maybe. I mean no insult by this, BTW >_>
On a related note, what's the relationship between Xenos and Universal? And in the first place, who are Universal Shipping?

Ahh, splendid. Just one item. Was somewhat apprehensive that I might wake to a new torrent of woe.
On the issue of cargo, nothing is sacred. The core objective of cargo interdiction is (in short) to cut off Liberty's access to all foreign goods in order to kickstart the local economy again to get everyone back to work. Similarly so with outbound freight, to prevent those same corporations from making a dollar off of pharms, gatelane or synth food monopolies or exported consumer goods manufactured on LPI prisoner/slave factories/plantations.
Some of our movement, including myself and usually if a person minds their p's and q's they'll find themselves running free, have qualms about downing vessels full of passengers. But we'll usually simply drop a beacon at the location that the transport was downed in order to signal to all that there's a lot of escape pods floating by a broken transport.
The deal with Universal is one very loosly built on some vague information that can be dug up on within the game. Mostly dealing with Universal pushing legislation that urges the government to take it easier on the Xeno movement, though as the same time hiring mercs posing as Xenos to harry the competition. We simply expanded upon that a bit in co-operation with some folks to have a few small events where they transfer supplies/funding in exchange for our continued grudging abstinence from nixing their transports. In other words they feed our poorly funded organization and they get to continue to grow unabated while larger organizations such as Interspace get their teeth knocked in.
I agree Xenos are poor.. in general... even in poorest society there are few rich people who are financing their interests.... So I am presuming there are few rich Xenos who earned their money on black market smuggling and other shady jobs.... So they would finance Xeno attack on Liberty and they would acquire SN for Xeno forces...
[But, speaking from prospective of my Xeno.. I started char with certain amount of money... now i doubled money that i started with only by collecting loot after I killed some lawful pilot .. (CDs, Nukes, Missiles, Trpedos and other things) ... Trust me... I doubled my money... so I am rich Xeno:D]
