Mr. Heilner,

First of all, thank you for taking your time to reply. My point was never that they would deny access to certain mining areas (although, in hindsight, if we would have done the same to our own claims in Omega 7, Kruger and Daumann would never have been able to go there in the first place, but I digress), but that this edict of theirs is worded in a way that would make it legal for them to destroy any unaffiliated vessel that does not pay them for such a registration, simply for passing by the mentioned areas. A zoner passing by Omega 11 on the way to Freeport 5 comes to mind. I fully understand their wish to defend their mining grounds and claims, yet the means chosen here are excessive, and could lead to unwanted conflicts, and acts which I believe to be in contradiction with Rheinland laws.

If however these kinds of policies are deemed legal within Rheinland, then the IMG will draft one as well. As for starting a Daumann operation in the Taus... Unless they bring half the Rheinwehr with them to keep the Outcasts off their back, I'm not overly worried.


Kind regards,
- Johnathan Sanders, on behalf of the Independent Miners Guild
