I don't know HOW I let Pepe talk me into accompanying OSI and Custodi into Gallia.... BUT... I am sure glad he did.... OH BOY... *smiles*
So getting to the system called Lorraine was a piece of cake; all boring chit chat and no gun fire. Then when we got to this Luxury Liner that was all hot for our Relics... Things heated up. So despite thoughts to the contrary I was able to get docking permission on Luxury Liner Bellvile
The second I walked into the bar the place went silent... I mean dead cold silent. Upon questioning the bartender, who was surprisingly friendly, I learned that apparently TBH is "persona non grata" in Gallia. *laughs* I mean really? After what their rude freaking traders come on OUT turf and acting like we should be grateful to them for some imaginary reason... They get pirated a handful of times... and poof... we're the bad guys... Makes sense I suppose *laughs* Who knew these Gallics were such snowflakes... I mean wow... I don't even think we've destroyed one of their transports yet. Looks like we.... well I have touched a nerve... I'm going to enjoy this.... A LOT.
In anyways, I picked up some Luxury Consumer Goods for everyone back home. Worthwhile trip I guess: Goods for the folks
OH YEAH... This cranky little/big old lady did also manage to have some fun in Rhienland:
Ripped off some traders for loads of gold ore too (took what I could carry and destroyed the rest) plus some other goodies that... "fell" into my possession
Also i managed to "tax" one of those DHC- transports: Cash 1 That brings us to 70+ million credits in the slush fund.
On the subject of credits: I propose a rule.... well more a guideline that all DHC- tagged vessels be treated with an appropriate level of respect and only charged a small amount ranging from 500k if they are carrying normal cargo to at max 2 mill if the are carrying ore. I know, I know. A cranky evil old battle-axe like myself saying give traders a break... Hell, Well.... MIRACLES CAN HAPPEN PEOPLE.... *laughs*
Seriously, though. They have for the most part been rather pleasant compared to the average trader, so I feel that good behavior should be rewarded.or just let DHC- go about their business... As far as I'm concerned they've been through enough hell with us....Damn... I must really be getting soft in my old age... But in retrospect... A strong RHienland leads to a weakened Hessian/Commie cabal.
Back to the Gallics, we've collected more than enough operational funds and supplies to support a small expeditionary wing of fighters/bombers moving into Breotonia to support the Gaians. Such a force in the grand scheme makes no difference and will have no impact on operations in the Omegas, but that force would provide a rather large boost to the Gaian struggle against the Gallics. Don't worry... I'll do all the comms and leg work required. Also, I will personally fund the force. I put my money where my mouth is. *nods*
As for Gallic Transports in Rheinland.... I believe this is an appropriate quote: "Its not about the money, Its about sending a message."
