' Wrote:@Laowai; Trading is one thing mate, but carrying out "invasions" is another. Not too long ago I was privy to an independent Corsair "escort". It included one dreadnought and as I recall, two gunboats and perhaps one fighter. What I do recall was that they were guarding less than two transports. The point of their force? Shoot anything in sight so that they could "clear the area and fly in between systems unassailable. Now that matter is settled, but I am starting to have flashbacks.
Granted, as i said, i think everyone knows some people are just going there to pvp, and im not condoniing that.
But not everyone is - i even ran a load of artifacts to Rochester the other day in my gunboat - fully prepared to be caught and killed but thought it would be fun. And thats really my point, i wanted to run artifacts, to make any real money, i had to go to liberty.
