Senor Kristol,

Are you a total idiot amigo? Or are you just pretending to be one.
You dont know have the truth..WE DONT NEED YOUR FOOD ANYMORE!!! We have Biodomes of our own in secure systems. Contracts with samura, Hogosha and some independants that still bring food. Please get over the whole food deal amigo. We aint Starving now more..havent been for a couple of years now.
Amigo, our battleships will tear that station a apart..No shields can stop the constant bombardment should we commence. (//OOR, Remember my dear man, we dont just kill players, we kill the NPCS docking and undocking from that Station as well. So while most of you metagames the invincible suddenly superior zoner force that is seeming unkillable by the militaristic corsairs, thousands are still dying every hour by the blockade you so elegantly godmodes is not existing. Stop your metagaming bull**** and go witht he RP)
Stop sending us Diplomancy requests..we are done with you? Shadup, and hole up in your dear freeport. We shall soon set you free of your misery.

Elder Vincent.

That... the whole point of the Corsair faction is that they must rely on others for their food. While Hogosha and Samura are not great food producers, this whole problem is out of what corsairs should be. It's like saying that OCs found a cure for Cardi and are now administrating it only to get the positive results. I'm sorry but this is bull****, and all the crap with the attack on the zoners is also bull****. What? You want to control Theta? Well, we're playing FL here, not some strategy game so [Breaking news] You can't have a system just because you want. All parties involved in that must agree, and from what I can see, zoners are not agreeing to let the sairs in their backyard.

I'm tired and pissed to see the first page covered with ooRP hatred and idiotic messages in the communication channel. You forgot the main reason you're here. Don't forget, Sairs, that you have wars at the other side of Sirius. BAF, Mollies, Hessians, OCs and other parties are at your doors while the zoners have no open conflicts. They're more than able to defend Theta and any other system where they're present from your raids. You can't assemble a fleet to take them out because if you could, you could also conquer Rheinland and Hessians would be long gone.

Your superiority in PvP fights won't win you the system or the bases in it because, guess what! All zoners have escape pods. And no, killing NPCs doesn't prove anything. Imagine a band of zoners or better OCs killing NPCs right in front of Crete. What would that make them? Victors in a war and you would be all dead or slaves on the maltese cardi fields. Get your act together and stop asking idiotic demands just to have your share of legate gankfests. By the way, corsairs are and will always be starving, even with zoner or any other helper. That's a characteristic of the NPC faction. You can't change it... yet. If you change that, you also loose the reason of piracy and you can become a lawful house of sirius and that won't happen except if Igiss comes in and says it.

And I'm not just talking about Vince as a sair here, I'm talking about the black sails and the other elders as well...

Edit: If this ain't in the right section, please move it... sorry

Careful there, there are enough fire barrels around without you adding more and striking flint.

You know what I dont get?

Why Freeport 9?

Why not Gran Canaria?

Gran Canaria is like 3 bazillion times more valuable than a crappy freeport.

Conquer Gran Canaria, and make the zoners on the freeports your b1tches to use for trading with lawfuls.

What he said

Also Samura is large producer of food and supplies farmers of Kyushu (FA), who have plenty of food to sell.

Aye. Though I am loathe to give certain folks more fuel for their bollocking, FA developed because Samura has this enormous food-producing capacity, but SynthFoods is still undercutting their prices, if I'm grokking it correctly; ergo it seems reasonable that a larger portion of this could be shipped to the 'sairs. Admittedly, being on opposite sides of Sirius, there would be a metric buggerton of danger in these shipments, and the odds of them being intercepted by various forces could be high, no?

Because they got food by trading on freeports and pirating traders that head for freeports.

No more freeports, no more trading with lawfuls, and no more ships that trade with freeports.
