This whole war started because of the competition between IMG and BMM anyway. And I just wonder... what of the BMM outpost in '23? I mean - it's cut off from supplies, reinforcements and the place is swarming with daggers and Stilettos. HOW THE BLEEP DID THEY HOLD OUT?!
QCO/QCP/QCR and KNF recruitment should increase, and we should be fighting each other a lot more.
I had an SF character for months, and fought KNF twice. That's dumb.
SUGGESTED RULE OF THUMB FOR THOSE WITH QCO/QCP/QCR OR KNF CHARACTERS:
(I know that most QCO/QCP/QCR and KNF people have other characters, and at any given moment there are often plenty of people available on the server for a good sized battle in this war.)
1) If you see someone else in QCO/QCP/QCR or KNF on, switch to your QC* or KNF character.
2) Once the two sides have decent numbers, RP a battle at a predetermined location.
3) If need be to make the sides even, bring in allies. KNF could request aid from UOG. QC* could request help from [M].
I'm not saying the above as a PVP whore. I'm saying this as someone who has never understood why the two houses which ARE actually at war, never fight.
MY OPINION ON TRADERS:
I agree with what was said above:
If it becomes a total war, passing through should still be possible though, but on your own risk. Which pretty much makes you a smuggler.

It's simply too far to Bretonia... 95% of time there are pirates (Dragons, Outcasts, Corsair) in Honshu. If I'm to attack Bretonia I need to go quite a way (takes some 12 mins I believe).
If I station my ship in Tau 31 I cannot respond to pirates in Honshu.
I have not seen a Bretonian in Tau 31 for ages....
Even when we fly plutonium right in front of you....

@ Dieter. UoG is on Brets side of the war, as they would rather have bret rule than Kusarian. Once the war is over however the 'truce' will probably be broken.

So QC* and KNF can't round up two equivalent fleets, and meet and engage in the Tau's somewhere, 'cuz its too far?? Sorry mate, not buying that.
Next time I'm on with some QC* guys, and KNF is on, I'll be suggesting arranging a battle in the Taus, after discussions with KNF online. It'll be well worth the trip, for all concerned:)
AND, if I may emphasise, QC* and KNF meeting in the Taus for a skirmish should become a regular event, scheduled or not.
Do you not think that that sort of thing would boost recruitment immensely for both Houses?
Well I sent a MSN message to Igiss, asking permission to remove the trader patrols from the place's enemy house. I also asked for permission to change station ownership and either of us make news report of it. (Except Battleship Hood, because its storyline specific, I suggested news reports that BAF or BMM are launching attacks on it in attempts to capture it.)
If he gives me permission, you won't see BMM Trains in Kusari anymore..

I 100% agree here. Stations like South Shields and Cardiff should become BMM, whilst the BMM presence in the Taus should become IMG.
I can also imagine that IMG might be forced to the negotiating table after Bretonian threats to annex their Freeport in Magellan which is cut off from supplies, just like Cardiff.
Well Igiss says IMG and Bretonia aren't technically at war yet, just a lot of tension. And the war isn't full scale I guess, just fighting over Taus. He said if it DOES go to a full-blown war (invading each other) than the traders will be removed.
