Anyways.
I figured that Ageira corporation is a bit too powerful in Discovery. Why? They built the entire trade lane system in all of Sirius, except for Gallia. Its been RP'd a thousand times that they could track ships through the lanes. Wouldn't that mean that the Liberty Navy gets a nice warning when Ageira starts to see a bunch of green (Rheindland) blips heading their way? Couldn't they sell their "services" to other Houses?
This all comes from using the same type of Jump gates/Trade lanes throughout Sirius, which I know has been discussed in another topic here.
Just a thought.
The tracking thing has existed since vanilla and, I'm guessing, IC must also have the information as they use it for insurance related information. So, I suppose they could track some Rheinland ships heading in, but wouldn't that be economically really bad?
As an alternative, Rheinland could always purchase the opposite information from the Lane Hackers. They already sell it to the Outcasts and Rheinland isn't near their territory - seems like a win for them to me.
