I admire your enthusiasm on re-establishing the Rouges' unified collaboration, but there were reasons it went downhill in the first place.

First off, we're here to make a profit, not to throw ourselves in front of the Navy and die while taking everyone else down with us. We've lost too many of our more valuable ships and equipment to this type of attitude. Even the head honcho of the Rouges out in Cassini knew that, and he eventually stopped ignoring the casualties on our side when we did stuff like that. That's why he said to call it quits on doing this type of stuff.

Secondly, each and every Rouge base is it's own place. We all may be part of the Rouges, but we're not puppet outposts that can be ordered around like the Navy does with their fleet. Bases like Dawson and Niverton have expressed their individuality by forming offshoot cells of their own that maintain organization and efficiency when pirating and shooting up lawfuls. Maybe you should convince your base to be like Niverton or Dawson, so that you can be renowned like they are.

Lastly, it gets boring after a while when all you do is pirate every civilian and kill every lawful in sight. Even if you could shoot up three Liberty Dreadnoughts a day and make it off without a scratch, it wouldn't be fun to do that every day, because it would get boring. However, as you said with the police, we can turn lawfuls in a different direction, and possibly even toy with them for hours on end, causing chaos and confusion everywhere. Manipulation is much more fun than just shooting stuff.

We may not be as glorious now as we were a few years ago, but we can survive this way. Stay in the spotlight too long, and you will get burned by it, as they say. To be honest, I don't think many like what our leader did, but maybe he was the smartest one in the room from the beginning. He knew when to plunder and kill, but he also knew when to quit a suicidal tactic. Groups like the Torpedos are gone because of most of their members being killed off in this strategy.

You could be like the famous Rouges and die tomorrow, or you can be a cautious, devious, and smart Rouge and live to mess with many more lives than any of them ever did. Then, when you finally go out, you can die an accomplished man, and be proud of your work. That's just my opinion, though. Don't know about you, but I'll pass on your offer and give this one instead.

Hmm Thank you. Dawson you say.
