Ya never disappoint, Blunt. Thanks for bein' you.
And if you feel I'm being too "direct", rather than whipping the same dead horse around the same boring block for the umpteenth time.. well.. got eat something sweet yourself. It's not good for my arteries.
Hey, I can't go eat something sweet. I've got diabetes.:P
Anyway, no need to get cranky. I know, I know, birthdays really suck... I hate 'em too... wait, no, that was a lie... I love 'em...
To deal with internal pirates? No. That's a coppers job. You roll out the army for an invasion of a foreign power, or when you wish to invade a foreign territory, copper's do the donkey work like cleaning out the undesirables.

Makes sense... but seeing as the Blood Dragons have their own fleet complete with battleships and the like, would that go under "foreign power"? They're trying to 'conquer' Kusari, or at least overthrow the entire power structure, replace the armed forces, and execute the corporations...

The Dragons are a pirate faction, they fall under a copper's jurisdiction, if they roll out multiple warships then the KSP should run for the hills and ask for the KNF's help.

As to sticking to the "SP" counterpart.. yawn.. if you hadn't noticed, this ain't SP, and for that reason I don't require the TAZ to fly around in bloody Falcons and Dromedaries. Would you like me to?
You can "incorporate" until you're blue in the face; or you can take a stand at some point and say "if I do this, then it's no longer the Faction I want to sponsor, build, and lead."
I like it, I endorse it, and it stands on its own merit. Does that help, Absolutex?
Btw, I don't believe in "Absolutes" either..

I wasn't "smacking" your support for Wraithkin's ideas. In the end, it doesn't matter to me what gets approved or not; I'll do whatever the faction rules dictate. I was responding to your criticism of the rest of us who don't support everyone flying around in ships meant for the Houses' armed forces or upper tiers of a faction.
At this point, I don't care what gets allowed or rejected. I just want this faction to be approved ASAP. Wraithkin, you have my support for whatever you want to add to the proposal.
I don't know what a Malaclypse is so you've got me there.

I have one big complaint, since you are so hasty to hear it, here it goes :
Quote:Friendly
- Farmers Alliance (_not_ allowed to smuggle or tax/pirate gaijin in front of an officer)
Neutral
- Hogosha
As you probably now, Hogosha is a quasi-legal organization. Necessary evil.
Farmers alliance isn't even quasi-legal. They can't be friendly in your 'public diplomacy'.
They can be under the table - but you would never admit it.
Hogosha, on the other side, can be friendly - since they are Samura's left hand.
They are not illegal, FA is.
Under the table, it's completely different. But for example if you meet a Farmer alliance member, you should at least 'act' to chase him out or something.
So people believe that you actually are enemies.
Liberty would be very angry if they knew that Farmers are actually supported by Samura and Kusari government.
Synth food as well.
In my opinion, Hogosha must be above FA in diplomatic relations with lawful Kusari factions.
Also, it's silly to have Gaians as friendly, while Hogosha are neutral. It's absurd, really.
Why? For one, Hogosha and Gaians are allied.
For two, Hogosha is in Kusari.. Gaians are in Brettonia.
It makes much more sense for Hogosha to be friendly while Gaians would be neutral.
In the same way, Corsairs can't be unfriendly if Gaians are friendly.
Corsairs actually have a reason to be in some parts of Kusari.
Gaians don't have a single one, except Tau-31 - which is basically Kusari system only in Disco.
So, it's logical to put Gaians as neutral. Corsairs can stay where they are.
The best thing to do about diplomacy on a Police faction is actually to keep the same diplomacy as your navy friends.
That shows good cooperation, and is much easier. No need for complications.
That's about it.
Also, I'm glad you ditched the destroyer idea. It shows that you are ready for compromises.
The rest of it is just fine.
I can't give 'two thumbs up' with this diplomacy though, so I hope you will consider my suggestions.
Good luck.
