' Wrote:Not to take this topic astray, but in order to build a biodome you need SynthFoods to purchase the technology and to learn how to use it.
Every Zoner biodome was purchased from SynthFoods at some point or another, and in numerous instances, SynthFoods reps taugh Zoners how to properly work in the farms.
Also, who is making up these numbers? 20%. 90%. 3%.
There is nothing to suggest anywhere just how much of Corsair food shipments come from the Zoners. It could be 1%. It could be 99%.
Seeing as the [TAZ] have smoothed over relations with the Corsair and are now delivering food along with a indie or two moot point.
TAZ & indie zoners who feell like delivering on their own, IND, Junkers, AFA, Hogosha, Samura, Smugglers, Corsairs Trading/Pirating
Eight separate sources of food for the Empire. Do the (]c[) or OSI matter in the grand scheme... NO!
As a member of the Black Sails I fully support this faction and its goals/RP/conduct.
' Wrote:Personally i don't think we need more Corsair factions.
I tend to agree, I am loosing track of the number of 'splinter' groups that are springing up not only Corsair but in other groups also. Need to spend all day reading the forums to keep up on current events and whos who in Disco

ZTC owns Freeport 15, the largest supplier of food in the Omicrons, ten feet away from Gamma. Kusari unlawfuls have to cross ten times as many systems and guards. Their trip is much longer and more perilious.
ZTC is also one of the only factions to have donated millions and millions of credits from the profits gained during Food shipments to Crete. Back when I was in that faction, my character gave away all profits to patrolling Corsairs, including Black Sails from time to time. He wasn't the only one.
But all of that is beside the point. I've got multiple characters in multiple factions and have no bias in this matter. At the end of the day, throwing around specific numbers is useless unless you're a developer or have quotes from a bar rumour.

The [A]'s bounty has dropped the [TAZ] as a target of interest (for the time being) - no, I'm not required to tell you why.
Our stance is also set on self-defence only towards that group of Zoners. Of course problems can happen if both parties encounter each other during a raid.
Question: Do members of [A] have a long history with high ranking members of the official factions?
I'm curious because many Corsairs have been quick to support the Anarchists without really questioning who they are, where they come from, and what their intentions are.
I roleplay a Corsair who is cautious of this faction and am surprised that members of the Black Sails aren't doing the same. Which is why I'm curious to know if this isn't some sort of an underground movement by high ranking commanders in the Corsair Empire, already known to the Elders.

I don't even know which players are exactly the Elders except Connor who I know is the Faction Leader of the TBH.
I have been here for three years and I know that the Black Sails who formerly were the OPG have had physical and verbal (in-RP) conflicts with the Zoners in the past, which is why I think they are more supportive than any other Corsair Faction. They most likely agree with our aggressive approach being the ruthless pirates that they are.
The Brotherhood and the Benitez have been more cautious and I have already been contacted to do several compromises, else I would be subject to a Corsair FR5 as per breaking the Corsair Laws. So to answer your paranoid-natured statements, no - I'm pretty sure this isn't the case.
For the record, I personally came up with the idea of the [A] and it was sprung from one of my older Corsair-independent characters. The people who joined up did so out of interest and there are plenty who aren't Corsair official-faction members.
