I understand what JG is dong, I understand their desire to unite the Omicron systems in defence against the Nomad threat, and I have found JG to be honorable and trustworthy in the past. The same cannot be said for AW and what do we expect to happen if AW violates our terms? Is JG going to put there lives on the line? Who protects corsairs in this deal but the corsairs? In addition I see TBH being asked to do all these things to try and show trust to AW. What is AW doing to gain our trust, what are they putting on the table? You want something from TBH, what are you offering in return? You ask us to put the lives of our families at risk, and for what? I have not seen anything offered by AW to help build trust. And what they tell us is that if we let them use Gamma space, in return if we see our enemies in Theata, next to gamma, we can do nothing. A much more reasonable request would have been for us not to attack traders in theata. Isnt that what it's about for Zoner, protecting free trade? So why is it that what AW is just about protecting Outcast? My answer? Because AW has become more outcast then zoner, and these are the people you ask ust to trust in our space with nothing more than your word? I do value the word of JG that is not up for debate. I'm just not sure when push comes to shove, how JG will be able to control AW. Another question, why not ask TBH for help against the nomads? TBH is closer, would not have to fly through AW space, and has a station in the system along with Brother Lucendez who has become an expert in nomad technology. Instead you ask AW, who has to fly through enemy space to get there, and must go further to get there, resulting in harder logistics and longer supply lines. It all seems alittle fishy to me. Again just my oponion, but I have been in enough battles with AW to be really really uncomfortible with this idea.
