What could you offer the Republic in return for granting you access to our weaponry? In particular, do you have an established reputation within the house? For example, what collections have you made, if any, from the Republic of Liberty's Bounty Board?
It's my pleasure to destroy pirate ships; I do it because it needs doing, not for pay. The systems I travel in are within the Liberty zone-of-influence and I was under the impression that piracy is a problem for Liberty. I thought you would be interested in supporting these activities. Your response suggests that you are more interested in maximizing your own benefit. But since your weapons are not so much better than the gear I've already got, so if working together on this point is going to be a lot of trouble for you then I will stick with what I've got.
Freakin navy suits, why I left the military in the first place
