Sorry to have to bring this up, but the debacle over helping KNF has ruffled a few RP feathers. Can't say that I totally disagree...
I know that "technically" we should be "friends" with Kusari, but in future I propose we should only help KNF outside their jurisdiction, i.e. in the Border Worlds (Sigmas, Taus, Omegas) or wherever. Remember NPC Corsairs are shot on sight in Kusari space, and vice-versa, so it's pretty thin us being there for any reason.
Please Brothers voice your opinions if you disagree.
EDIT: Furthermore, I propose for the time being:
1. We do not enter Kusari space at all, except for the purpose of pirating, chasing an enemy, or passing through. (hmmm, just about covers everything;)
2. Only render assistance to KNF if they are outside Kusari space, they specifically hail us for help, and they are fighting one of our sworn enemies (eg. GoR, BDR)
3. Any other encounters with KNF should be polite but brief -- i.e. do not engage unless fired upon. Preferably we should avoid them altogether, as let's face it, they are house military. We do not want to put them into a difficult position (i.e. being forced to shoot us), as with ourselves.
