I dont really know, last I've seen wasnt about independents, it was the OPG coming in liberty.
And OPG are corsairs, and I KNOW, some of you are on the forum. Get the message already.
And as I've said, I find the route of alaska utterly ridiculous because you are basically rolling in the most secret military base ever. I dont know how you can survive in this - there are liberty patrols everywhere. You should die rather quick, considering they should kill anything not liberty on sight.
