Like I said, hopefully the restriction will change soon, in RP it should at least...
and it's more that no one is ready for RP between Gallia and Sirius. I mean as far as Sirian governments are concerned right now the council is an unknown. They just came blasting out of a minefeild that was presumed ancient and built a station in Orkney in weeks. For all they now the council is a rouse to distract them from an invasion. For all they know council trade vessels could be spies. If Council ships suddenly started flooding Sirian space it would probably cause hostility, which is not what the council wants.
As for the 100 million, just be patient, it will be worth while soon enough, until then I'll try and find a decent route for ya.
