We have a wonderful battlefield: Its called Dundee. Its without NPC BB's as far as i know, only destroyer and fighter patrols of each side. the system has no asteroids, so even PC BB's could be brought in, if the Kusari one manages it to get through the Tau31 asteroids.:laugh:Maybe the Dundee JH can be placed in Tau 29, like Baffin JH or clear a path within the Tau 31 asteroids to the Dundee JH.
So Dundee is the perfect place for PvP battles without advantages for one side.
Yes! Excellent! Thank you for the suggestion, AoM. I think it's a fabulous idea. Also should be much less laggy than Tau-31! XD
As for IMG, I can tell you right now the Gaians would go from friendly to outright hostile if they captured Harris and continued the terraforming process. Silvy would, anyway.:PShe used to live on Harris in an underground hangar, and joined the Gaians so she could return it and others like it to their natural states.
The factions were simply not active enough back then to sustain them.
We could try it again, sans me...still out of game...grr...
But, thing about capships is, they simply are not useful in battles.
QCO used to raid Kusari in force...then, well, not enough action.
Seems that has turned around.
Looks to be a good time to try again.

Yeah, yeah.
That's the same line I got from NovaPG.. "Oh, we'll attack Bretonians before we'd attack KNF".
Now, NovaPG just farms out their dirty work. Dieter, I believe you know what I mean, eh?
Mjolner is right.. QCR has all these proscribed "war materials" they claim to be interdicting, yet the traffic into Newcastle from Kusari is exploding? Do those folk even know where Newcastle is....?

Would you care to leave the bitching at the door, please? This has nothing to do with you, so stop trying to cause trouble. If you have a problem with Bretonia, stay in your biodomes on your Freeports. We're not forcing you to play with us.
Yes, we know where Newcastle is. I've explored it rather thoroughly. It is also very large. There are five entrances; two from Bretonia, one from Tau-31, and the others are from Liberty. Well, Manchester is close enough to Liberty. It's not a place you'd go to get to Newcastle if coming from Kusari.
But we can't be everywhere; you of all people, who run a certain good to a certain base in the system, should know how much of a time-eater that system is. Even if QCRF happen to be on when people are smuggling from Kusari, can we afford to ignore the Corsairs in Cambridge, the Mollies in New London, and the Hackers in Leeds just for the sake of hanging in empty space to catch a smuggler or two?
Bretonian PCs and RP-NPCs alike would NOT be pleased if the Queen's forces sat in deep space in Newcastle interdicting smuggling while the citizens are killed by pirates elsewhere in Bretonia quite regularly.
As for the Mollies, that's in the news reports. So if it's to change, fine, but as things stand in the current mod version there's no reason to think the Mollies would suddenly support the KNF. That's what the Gaians and Corsairs do. You know these things, Mal...is there something here I'm not seeing?
As i have spoken with Mjolnir in-game, i think UOG will agree. Some Mollys might be not happy with the role they have played with setting the minefield around Harris. Now Bretonian authorities are taking their time to fulfill their part of the "contract" with Mollys.
Now they got an offer by KNF to receive Plutonium, to finally build their bomb to blow the Queens palace and to help with fighting bretonian forces. Thats life. Relationships come and go
As I recall, the planets in bretonia are shielded, due to previous raids by phantoms....
Just thought I would throw that in, before someone decided to powerplay...
Phantoms nuked us, we built shields.
Never again, mates.
"@ 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."
Did y'all miss UOG's declaration of war post recently?
No problem. Better a certain enemy than uncertain treaty in one's back door.
Oh, and Dundee sounds good.
Oh, and Mal, the Mandalore isn't here in this thread with us, TYVM. Just Isaac. Took my Lithium, see.
I agree with LancerZero, Newcastle is just too large. That's why I never patrol over there, even when 3 known smugglers are in the system. The chances of finding them are very low.
Oh, and about the KNF trading with the Mollys: the BPA actually knows of your actions and wanted to get you... but a farmer gunboat crossed our ways before we could get to Dublin and your heavily escorted convoy.
I think events as this KNF-smuggling are great ideas, it also fits in with the 'Cold war' that Mjolnir suggested. It just needs a tad more organization (so that the Bretonians know about it as well).
