I've never had a bad interaction with OSI in space.
I also like that their Nichols trade center actually makes supplying the base profitable for outside parties, thus encouraging variations from the normal trade routes.
Yay! That was the purpose of the station. We try to funnel H3 into the base also to keep it self sustaining so that our members and everyone else can trade to and from it.
@ Gov
I'm not going to hide it, nor did we (OSI leaders) try to hide it:
Yes, the OSI ID is a powerful trader ID now.
Does that mean it will be abused for pure ooRP power trading credit grinding purposes? Nope. That use is part of what got part of the Zoner ID (Guard) nerf'd in the first place.
Does that mean we won't power trade? No. We will, though what is power trading? I consider power trading to be exactly what we are all about. We move high amounts of cargo from A to B, for whatever reasons. In 4.85 we moved vast amounts of cargo to NPC bases under contract to other groups (mainly Zoner groups). In 4.86 we ditched that as many of our members had tired of it and we now supply a few player bases, with our own being the primary one.
Nor are we some elite club, our recruitment process is one of the simpliest on the server. Very few have been denied and those denials usually stem from ooRP issue between current faction membership and the applicant or due to the applicant's behaviour prior to applying.
