Cardamine is legal for personal use in Bretonia, and let's stop the bloody pissing contest about "who's ally is the best", this is not about the lolsairs and Kusari.
Changing our tech to white for the Bretonians would change -nothing- since a mere story wouldn't be enough, they would still have to go through me, and let me be damned clear on this: I do not grant technology to just any pillock, primarily because our tech is damn good, and many pvp whores want to get their hands on it, but also because it doesn't fit our RP to hand out guns left and right.
QCP will be granted -limited- use of Krakens and maybe an Inferno cannon, that's it. It's not like I'm giving them a truckload of Krakens which they can mount on all of their ships. So yeah.
And let's not forget, and I'll say this for the last time, in bold letters: My character is from Bretonia.
Rule Bretonia! Bretonia rules the skies!
So yeah, there's your RP justification for closer ties right there. Now stop being anal about it and think of other unlikely alliances which have been granted in the past on less solid foundations and reasons.
