I think that maybe, the 'DIPLOMACY & FACTION STANDINGS' may need a look at again.
In a post regarding your operations manual, you state that Zoners and Junkers are to be pirated. You claim to be neutral to them on your faction board. Thats ok but if you pirate them, they won't see it that way. You'll be hostile to them. You will also be denied docking rights at the FP in Bering (and all the others) and any Junker base. (Kreuzberg and Beaumont for example), and there is a very real chance, they will start to post bounties. Considering the proximity of Puerto Rico, and the named bases, Zoners and Junkers could make a useful friend (not ally).
You guys have got your hands full with the RM, passing BH and marauding LN ships at present.
GMG, who are currently neutral on your board are to be left alone. Ok, I understand this one but why then neutral?
Gateway should be taxed in one thread and ignored in the other.
I don't know if there are other considerations cos I'm off to bed!
Just needs a look at, thats all.
One other thing, didn't you ask for permission to use Zoner Gunboats....?
Thanks for the valuable feedback. I guess there was a mistake with the Zoners part, that got amended now. About Junkers though, we still tend to pirate them unfortunately. For this reason docking on Junker bases is not allowed at this moment. Gateway part has been corrected as well in the updated operating procedures document.
Our stance against GMG may be identified from the quote below,
Quote:The Gas Miners Guild is the main supplier of H-Fuel to the four houses in Sirius. And as long as they stay that way, we will try to avoid intervening their business.
So they are basicly in avoid to contact, shoot only in self defense category. If we avoid contact, how could we pirate them at all? Not possible.
As for the gunboat issue, we have recently decided to use the Rogue gunboats if Rogues accept to sell us some.

Considering that at least vanilla-wise, the Unioners get diamonds from the Junkers to smuggle to the Rogues, shouldn't there be friendliness with the Junkers so long as they don't step on our smuggling toes?
Regarding your job board - Can I suggest upping the payments by quite a margin? 500k for killing a cruiser isnt much at all when you consider the damage you could take, especially when in a bomber and your SN is getting hit a few times.

Vanilla wise they get Diamonds from the Hessians and smuggle them to the Junkers or Roughes.
Considering that, a Unioner smuggling run would be from Freital or Vogtland to Beaumond, and if Junkers come across Bering and Hudson, bypassing the Unioners and their profits in this game, they will be shot down.
The Union ows the Zoners mutch, since the first haboured them, and still get them most of their supplies, but they ow nothing to the Junkers, and they need nothing from the Junkers.

Actually don't they get them from Kreuzberg? With rumors stating that when they tried to get them directly from Dresden, there were instances of shooting?
But to quote someone, smuggeling is a Dog-eat-Dog buiseness, and were would be the fun of having no Allies at all, when beeing nice to, for example the Junkers.
As long as they are buying or selling they are partners, when they are hauling, and you are not, they are prey.
A Union-Transport would not expect different from a Junker-Bomber.
In case noone had noticed the union is about neutral (or equaly-hostile to all), their smugglers can dock about everywere in sirius, exept of cause at bountyhunters, navys and republican bases.
And they can fly the ATrain (an old Republican one maybe), what makes them perfect smugglers.
Black-market ammunition to kusary? Yes. Slaves and Cardi? Yes. Artifacts, Software, Organs and Blooddiamonds, and everthing while about everone is shooting you, sounds like fun to me.
We have been smuggling blood diamonds from Freital to Dawson. It depends on the choice actually. About the bounty rewards, there must be an event going on already that doubles the rewards for a week.

Actually, don't the Junkers on Kreuzberg say that they offered a deal to the Unioners to smuggle, err, it was either artifacts or cardamine, I can't remember offhand, into Liberty for them and they were turned down?
