Actually corporations other than Ageira shouldn't prohibit it unless there's some strict thing.
Like Bretonian corporations stopping Kusari affiliated traders from getting their things, or some Liberty corporation like synth foods stopping ageira from taking some things from their bases. Those things happen more than you'ld like to see.
For new players: If you like to run with freelancer companion around looking for highest profit in your ship, you're very much not contributing to the roleplay. We all did that at some point, but this is Discovery RP, you shouldn't use freelancer companion and enjoy your "neutrality"
More than few corporations offer starting money for fresh traders, you're more than welcome to actually join a trade run with Kishiro. Just join a trade run, not a corporation. The ammount of cash that two traders in convoy earn in one route is enough to get you a 2000 cargo kusari transporter, if you decide to join us. One run. 20 minutes. Talking with other players, learning the ropes, encountering a pirate. Surviving, getting a new ship!
If that's not encouraging then I don't know what is.
For those that say this is Freelancer not Corp/Cap/Whatever lancer, that's an washed up argument. Freelancer is far from the game good people at Discovery have made it to be. It has it's own laws, it's own customs already, hell it has Coalition, new ships, new models, new physics, missiles, everything. Its far from Microsoft's Freelancer. If your argument is that you want to be FREE as Trent was in his game, then you're forgetting that in order for him to be a freelancer society had to exist.
I wish that one day a player can log on into this game, chose a freelancer ID and have an adventure just like Trent had, but with real players not NPCs. And trust me, that can really happen.
Also: You can't see less traders. That's just not possible. You can see less traders in certain area, but not in Sirius as whole.
So what, Omegas are bit empty now it seems. Just immagine if Kusari had their unlawfuls as strong or numerous as Omegas have, traders would move to Liberty, but liberty already has numerous illegals, so they'ld move to bretonia or Rheinland. When those houses grow in number of unlawfuls do you think traders would just dissapear? No. They'ld finally have to cope with their problems.
Its easy to say - this is a game, it should be fun. But isn't challenge fun? Are you one of those people that when they get stuck instantly go online and look for cheats rather than advices on how to do it without cheating?
i've seen few of those, main one is my brother. He got a 3d puzzle of a FIFA soccer ball, small one, nothing major. He was superexcited and called his friend to actually assemble it for him. He gets a fresh copy of windows every 2 months, because he's refusing to limit the ammount of junk he places on his computer. It breaks over my back, and that could be the reason I dislike someone "going with the flow" because there's always someone else to fight your battles, or some other place to look for help. How about sticking up, hiring those escorts, making it bloody hard for pirates to exist?
I bet that, if all active corporations in liberty actually bonded together and paid mercenaries cash to keep the liberty clear, the pirates would have hell of a job. Really hell of a job.
