I get everything quite well one at a time thank you, and since I am still at 2400 baud due to my living outside the 14.4 access area, I don't want to spend the excess time getting duplicates.

If you want to keep your ships out of harms way, fly your company colors and make sure they don't do things to get you shot at. Hiding behind a mask (as IND) lets people cause problems and be able to deny involvement. Enough people do it and IND gets a bad reputation. Like every other thing you take the disadvantages with the advantages. You want to be an innocent bystander then tell everyone. Accidents will still happen and some AFF's will still assume if your not an ally you're an enemy. Talk at ya' later.

Actually I was kicking around an idea the AFT had a long time back with insuring ships. With all the people comming back and all the apparent striff I think this could be profitable. I was thinking about insuring non-warships for replacement value. I've got a bunch of stellars banked from my old positions and I have one or two power people willing to back me. Figure I can invest the premiums, keep enough on hand to pay claims and make a decent profit. I know, sounds a little boaring but I can carve out my own little financial empire with the profits. Maybe the Kriegers will give me some finance lessons >grin<.

Hence my hostilities were directed towards the entire FOE race, instead of towards the faction involved, namely YOU. The AFT make no threats, the purpose of my message was intended to be an example of the type of resonse you are generating through your actions. I also want to state that I do not speak for the entire AFT, I speak as an individual who cannot fathom such a death sentence as capturing the farm tech, then threatening to destroy it forever. I cannot believe you actually think you will survive this venture. Obviously you believe that the only way you can be considered a 'real' Star-Admiral is to doom yourself by undertaking the folley you are involved with now. Its your bed...

In fact, previous IAN/ICN PDs liasoned with the Companies and vice versa so as to maintain security in the Periphery. This practice declined with the untimely passing of PD Swift in 188. The succeeding ICN, then the ISP PDs, have managed to fritter away this goodwill. Call it arrogance, call it bureacratic mindset, whatever. The point is that there had been cooperation in the past. \\\|/// -(o o)- +------------------------oOOOo--(_)--oOOOo----------------------------+ | COM2: BBS | sysop: Sean Azhadi | | San Diego, CA. | Internet: sysop@com2bbs.com | | 619.737.0495 BBS 12 Nodes | Info: info@com2bbs.com | | 619.737.9659 voice | | +---------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ The contents of this message do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this BBS, it's operators or sponsors...

So how will you know I'm really IND and not some company flunky flying the IND flag? Either way, how can I get permission to cruise around in TCA space without being blasted? (funny, last time I played I was one of the framers of the TCA and started the rule you are now inforcing). BTW what gives with Northcape? Are the Imperials being imperiaistic or something?

Last time I counted North Cape was more than ten jumps away from Trapose. TCA politics are not my concern, my colony is in the Trans Hole and I'm only helping out with one ship in North Cape.
