When two factions or houses that are hostile in game, in this case lawful Gallia vs lawful Liberty, and both sides no longer want to be hostile, what is the appropriate actions required to become, at the very least, neutral? The explanation makes sense - was this explained in the initial rejection? Is there a path that can be taken by both parties, through role play, to achieve their goals?
If the Order and the Nomads request neutrality, should we take that request seriously? Should we provide them a path to achieving their goals? Probably not, right.
This isn't that different.
In the current state of the game universe and story this development doesn't make sense. Maybe we could offer some alternatives (I mentioned Ageira logically wanting EFL to be shunned by the Sirian houses for their own benefit) to pursue, but I doubt we're going to entertain the idea of Gallia - Liberty neutrality in the near future.
There was game update with story snippets how Liberty and Gallia corporations are now seen in each other house. That was like three years ago. Are you a decade behind the story developements on this front while being lead developer?
Third paragraph:
Business and free trade boom, as the Houses once again begin to open their borders to one another. GMS convoys provide Liberty with precious metals, and Bounty Hunter Guildsmen seek new fortunes in the fifth house. Even the commerce juggernaut Interspace has begun to make investments in the new financial frontier.
