Greetings, high command. This is Jason speaking on behalf of the many IMG pilots in our ranks.
The matter at hand is that most of us are growing tired of dealing with the many requests/insults/demands of the smaller groups that bare the IMG ID. These groups (UMWS,TDF, [H&S], the list goes on..) start to become a real pain these days. I have recieved many complaints from my fellow miners about their pilots such as:
Taking up mining space:There are soo many foreign miners that the official IMG cannot find a mining spot without running into a UMWS miner for example. After which the UMWS gives our boys a harangue for enetring THEIR fields of operation...I suggest that we start taxing the foreign groups, for using our niobium fields in Tau 23, as their main source of income.
Increased pirate activity:Due to the overpopulated system, it became a main pirating zone for the outcasts. There are too many of the foreign miners, which are easy prey for the Tridentes. Not only that, but assaults from Hogosha also occured. Hogosha usually do not go this deep in to foreign space. There were several inccidents in the past week when a pirate, who goes by the name of General Yarr, destroyed several of our miners and stole their ore. Not to mention the frequent "visits" of Niko Bellic, pirate freelancer who works for the outcats. It is true that main casualties are from the other groups' sides, but our miners also suffered because too many pirates were attracted. The smaller groups do not seem to posses the firepower needed to drive the pirates away, so they frequently ask for our help. I did about 10 rescue missions this weak and I did not recieve a credit for it....My suggestion again is to tax the foreign miners for the servcies of our defense wing.
Transport issues:It has come to my personal observation that the Hogosha had also increased their patrols in Kusari space. The reason for that, I believe, is due to the fact that more and more foreign transports take the route through Kusari to reach New Berlin. You can find Hogosha patrols at every time now and this endangers our boys and girls. Also, the transports REQUIRE us, the official IMG, to escort them at low prices, something in the range of 3-4 millions per run. For me this is unacceptable and I intend to tax them with even higher fees.
For now the CR and the ICMG are the only factions that are perfoming good and support the official IMG in general. The list with problems around the rest of the newly formed groups continues though...for example the fact that some groups think they can bring more weapons in IMG controlled space than the official IMG themselves. Thanks to our Defense Director this problem has been resolved I think, but what about the other issues...
That is all I wanted to share with high command right now. Jason out...
