Especially the following, which is now clarified:

Cargo Transported to the Tau Systems

Moving cargo across the Bretonian border into Tau space to Kusari is illegal, and will be treated as an act of war, making the transporter of said goods an enemy combatant. Approved Bretonian corporations supplying allied bases in the Tau systems are exempted from this provision.

IMG and Zoner ships may carry cargo through Bretonia and as far as their holdings in the Tau systems. IMG and Zoner ships found moving goods through the Taus into Kusari will be fined 5 million credits.

BAF and BPA pilots have the right to demand the destination of the traders and confirm it via intel. Traders found to be trading with Kusari must drop their cargo or sell it at Bretonian bases. Traders found to have lied about their destination will be treated as enemies of the Crown.

That is all.

//Examples of how this works: Challenge the trader, ask their destination.

Trader : "I'm hauling this Lux Food to Gallia (or supplies to Malta or whatever)"

BAF/BPA : "Very well sir, carry on."

Second Example.

Trader : "I'm selling these Ship Hull Panels in Kusari."

BAF/BPA : "Sorry sir, that is not allowed. An embargo is in effect. Please drop your cargo or follow me to a Bretonian base to sell it there"

Trader's Answer "No" = warn him again, then pew pew. Trader Complies, say "Thank You"

Third Example

Trader : "I'm hauling this Lux Food to Gallia (or supplies to Malta or whatever)"

BAF/BPA : "Very well sir, carry on."

Trader in fact is seen to go to Kusari, then report the trader in the message dump.

Post here to indicate you have read and understood.

//uh... no. No "long range scans" in systems that you have no viable way of scanning. When order pilots do this, we use the satellite platforms in delta or minor as justification for it, last I checked bretonia has no such platforms past tau 31. That's entirely OORP and you know it.

//But, it does seem that from your examples, it's ok to haul goods to Gallia, which is where my route goes anyway, so this shouldnt effect me too much. Glad to see you boys arent trying to make restrictions on orkney anymore.

//yes, because bretonians really "blend in" when they're two feet taller than everyone else in kusari.

//using "long range scan" is OORP because there is nothing like that in game (or when can I buy it?), sadly showing of current destination of player in player list cant be removed:(

//The Privateers are based all over the Taus, as well as MI6, and MI5, and also, The Mandalorian Dha'wherd (actual characters and ships)

So there is a way we can find out.

And yeah, we want to make it less stressful for people to trade "up North" with Gallia and the OC, etc. Just not Kusari.

// Who said our informants have to be Bretonians? Now clear out from our notice.

// Neural net connects everyone, no matter where they are. It's like being connected to the internet all the time, your IP can be tracked by people with the know-how (military and law enforcement, for example).

And the only other option is to say no trade north of Leeds by non-Bretonian traders, period. And no one wants that.

//If that were true, every pirate and unlawful base would have been found and destroyed by lawful militaries by now.
But, as long as I can still trade to gallia, I'll ignore the rest for now. I cant even go into kusari with my junker anymore so it's not a big deal for me.
