First up - Thanks to you both for posting questions and seeking constructive feedback. I genuinely mean that as it seems that every week we get a Q_Q thread.
Following the in-RP civil war, we have worked at getting supplies into Omega-52 to repair the gas miner Shanghai. Planet Tbilisi is a massive floating gas giant which the Shanghai is slowly bleeding the H-Fuel out of. We also have a small operation mining the dirty gas in the New London debris fields. Both of these have been documented inRP.
Now, we've been able to build up a small stockpile inRP - But you guys are quite correct, we are not the GMG.
We are a very small producer, flexing small muscles and puffing out our chest - To try and show that we are bigger than we are. Given the current status of the diplomatic thread - I felt that we needed to put on a slight show of force to show that we can compete in the cramped and dominated market.
The likelihood is that because of the Freelancer economy dynamics meaning that we *lose* money every time we ship H-Fuel to Liberty - We will not be able to finance such an operation for long. Thus - We will be breaking our own back trying to provide for Liberty. In essence this will be the "Stockpile running out".
When this becomes evident to Liberty, they will go back to other means of running their ships and using fuel coming from other sources.
I am not trying to replace any other faction, only to steal market share.
You know how it is with diplomacy - You try and promise the world. ;)
EDIT: Oh and as for hostile house, We have allies in the Mollys (Dublin) and are neutral with Gaians (Edinburgh). The dangerous part is getting across Leeds.

Considering that takes all of 2 minutes due to the jump hole hyper-network there...
Wait. I don't partake in these forums much anymore, but I seem to remember the SCRA being, well, communist. Why are they willing to sell their fuel reserves to Liberty, which, last I checked was A) Capitalist B) Oppressively capitalist C) the subject of SCRA raiding parties. Isn't that like, well, supplying your enemy?
I've Really Enjoyed reading your front line reports. Its a well thought out thing and fun to Read, and for the Tactical Centre, i personally like it to see everything come together, the roster and all the explanations, it was outdated or missing on the Info Thread, so its nice to have it all in one place at ones hand when you need it.
