Corsair Expansion?

[kikatsu]

If you read up on the lore of the Corsairs and a lot of the groups they are fighting against you can see that they are pretty much always beating back Corsair attempts at expanding their territory, but from what I know, the Corsairs have not gained any territory in... well I have no idea since when.

Corsairs should be violently expanding into the Sigmas, Rheinland space and Bretonian space. Corsair presence in both of theses houses are negligible or non existent. At the same time very few Corsairs are in the Sigmas where the main fighting with the Outcasts should be happening.

I had an idea that we can stimulate this Corsair expansion a bit more with a couple strategically placed outposts.


One in Sigma-19 in the Gikka cloud to allow them to poke the Outcasts and GMG. Yeah I know Crete is only a few jumps away but I don't see an issue with a foot hold here, it would stimulate activity in the region from all sides.

An outpost in Omega-15 perhaps, gives a good launching point into Rheinland while giving the Hessians a big threat to worry about, Omega-15 basically going straight to their back door.

Finally a base in Omega-49 or perhaps Cambridge to give the Mollys and Bretonians something to actually worry about. I would also like to suggest beefing up the NPC patrols in areas that were actually getting invaded... but granted this invasion thing seems to have been on the back burner for a while under the 'mustering their forces' guise. When the Corsairs do break out, I figure this could be something to consider.

Bleh. Gotta put on my flame suit now.
