' Wrote:liberty tries to call everyone in alaska 'oorp'. Face it guys, that system isnt entirely secure, and hasnt been since several months before the nomad war when the order was first founded.
The order has access to alaska, through both the gate and jump hole. Their closest allies, the corsairs, are damn near certain to have access as well - the corsairs would withdraw all support from the order if they werent getting something in return.
Not so sure about zoners, but i'm sure they could find a way in. Alaska isnt a dead end system like it used to be, there's more ways in than the front door (or gate, rather) now that the Omicron minor jump hole has opened up. You cant just go yelling "you're OORP for being here!" every time someone shows up in the system. If you want them to leave, shoot them down.
The Corsairs are getting something in return. Technology. The Order and Corsairs are not buddy-buddy - they're allied to each other because it benefits them both. The Order is a semi-lawful faction, and normally would never ally with pirates. So I don't see how Corsairs taking the Alaska gate would be within RP.
As for the actual issue with the Z-Es and Liberty, it's been resolved. Now let's all shoo.
