I fly Bowex as well, and I'd say that as a Bretonian trader you need not be enemied to Kusari traders. After all, you're not a soldier, are you? You're a civilian. And you certainly don't need to be firing on Kusari ships in, say , Liberty for example. If the Kusari ship is in Bretonia, well, then by all means, go ahead and blow it up. In Liberty or Rheinland, though, that'd only make life difficult for you.

Not nearly as interesting as what you find at Freisdadt; BHG and Hessian sitting at same table offering missions against each other. I was laughing so hard I got a LOT of funny looks.
Will hijack the thread a bit, accordingly to Mals post.
Gateway has close relations with IMG and they are allies, at least friends. So i think missions against Gateway should not be there. Gateway offers a complex rp indeed with the complex diplomacy around them. Should be the only bretonian shipping company, allowed, but escorted in Kusari.
Back to topic:
Could be much fun, when i have pulled out my KNF Trader, shooting on a Bowex/BMM player in Liberty or Rheinland:P. For everything else: Shooting bretonian corporations boosts Kusari trader reputation with outcasts and junker.
Being red with Kusari trading factions would lead to too much trouble really when flying outside Bretonia on trading trips. It makes very tedious game play if I have to fight off NPCs all the time while trying to trade. However I would definately not mind to pick a fight in RP with some player Samura trader.
"Meet me in 15 mins behind Manhattan and we'll get this little 'misunderstanding' sorted out".
And a transport vs transport mud wrestling ensues;)
I'm still in process setting the rep board to align with Bowex. I did a small round trip through Kusari failing KNF and Kusari Police Missions. But it gets you only so far until you get "Come back when you are frienlier with this faction" without turning hostile.
The next obvious step would be to start a shooting match with the Kusari Navy and Police. But that's easier sinitiated than finished. Mainly because Navy usually rolls heavy. And even the lighter patrols can easily contain 5-8 Dragons. And that's not very convienient while flying a transport. Although I'm riding now in Kadesh Fr. just for that reason that I can survive the attempts.
So the easiest way could be killing Police, but where to do that is the dilemma. Meaning that I'd like to get out alive after they turn red. Those police tend to patrol only Kusari Main systems whereas the ideal would be a independent/border system in RP wise. Although anything really goes right now.
So mission parameters here are that Kusari corporations should be kept neutral and only KNF and Police should go red. And also this should be as easily done as possible in Kadesh Fr.

Quite right, AoM. I'm in the process of putting together a faction proposal for Gateway (or in place of it); one source I researched states specifically that Gateway handles most of the cargo runs from Freistadt. They would appear to be cooperative, at the very least.
