Trial Discussion Series #1 - Foreign Shipping Depots [4.90.2]

[Scumbag]

Interspace Commerce is a thing already.

As Snak3 laconically put it, there already are space stations that serve the purpose you are proposing, and they belong to IC.

The lore behind it is this:

As part of the Sirius Commerce Pact, Universal and other Libertonian companies cannot own any permanent bases within Kusari space outside of New Tokyo. So we rent space from IC on the Roppongi Station and use it as our transfer point for Construction Supplies and Jump Gate Parts for the project in Hokkaido.

Our office was planetside on New Tokyo before the Trade Lane Dispute of 521. At that time we were evicted from Kusari space. Financial transactions between the Liberty and Kusari governments during the 80-Years War led to an amendment in the Sirius Commerce Pact in 710 that allowed us to establish a base in New Tokyo. Roppongi was built shortly thereafter.

The tolls that Kusari and Rheinland had to pay us were not nearly the full amount that we had put up to fund their Jump Gates. The compromise reached in the Sirius Commerce Pact was not a compromise for our corporation, but unfortunately Liberty didn’t have the military clout to enforce the payment of Rheinland and Kusari’s debts to us.

The quotes are from vanilla infocards (FLInfocardIE: search commerce)

I would appreciate it if you wouldn't break vanilla lore more then it already is broken.

I can offer an alternative solution in order to increase the interest in the main shipping corporations but it's tangential to the subject of this thread, and i don't want to risk another ban for stating my opinions.
