@Rheinland

Unlike you I have a problem with pirates. If i don't build up my forces then they will take over Liberty.
I can't have that happen.
Since you are reluctant to be in any sort of state with me i will accept that and give you my word that i won't attack you.
So my build up should not be a problem.

@Mollies

Liberty asks for permission to build ONE base in Dublin as a mean of getting the metal?
Our trade agrement wont affect this.

@IMG

Liberty is intersted in starting a trade deal of 10 Gas each turn for a period of 6 turns.
The price for 1 gas is 3 credits I belive. (Might be wrong, taking this from memory if I'am please feel free to correct me)

@To all:

Are there anymore concerned about my forces contact me on the secure cannel and I will explain.

From the Corsairs to Liberty:

Or perhaps instead of building up your forces against the pirates, you are building up in order to construct massive, but not noticeable fleets inside your systems. Once these fleets are large enough, you will strike out at all surrounding you--the Bretonians, the Kusari, the Rhinelanders. No, we know you too well. Your dictatorial military movements are ineffective. We request that you cease and desist in doing such.

Message to DSQrn, of Rheinland

We are withdrawing all our ships from your systems. If you however changed your mind, we can return and offer you our services again.



Message to DSQrn, of Rheinland and Wilde, of Corsairs

Deep Space Engineering can confirm that there is large pirate danger in all of the Liberty systems for now. Any rumors about preparing strike on any of the major Houses is completly untrue. If you dont want Liberty to continue building more forces to defend themselfs, please send some of your ships to help.



Message to Shogun Bret, of Kusari

The Chugoku Gate is now completed. Trade Lanes will be operational within several days. Our explorations have discovered natural resources of about 3 units of Gas and 3 units of Metal collectable per base per standard month. Wakkanai Border Station remains for now under our control, but we have mininalised our patrols in the area. Feel free to move in any number of your forces. Also, the Chugoku System is fully under your control.



Message to The Creator, of Liberty

Please specify your desired location of your desired Jump Gates between Texas and California systems, and modifiers that you want to apply for its prize (see page 7 for details)




Message to Shasla, of Orbital Spa and Cruise Lines

We are not sure if we are able to continue in our trade pact as it is. We ask for changing it to our 5 units of Metal for your 5 units of Gas per standard month.



Message to Jacob, of the Independent Miners Guild

Cerberus, the leader of Mollys, has asked DSE to build bases for Mollys in Tau-31 and Tau-23 systems, that are currently controlled bu you. However, because of their past, we are not agreeing to it until they will get your permission. Please contact DSE for either your agreement or disagreement.

We also want to buy 30 units of Metal from you, for a price of 90 Credits. This is only a one-time deal.



Message to Cerberus, of Mollys

Please specify details about your desired Space Stations to be built in Tau-31 and Tau-23 systems. We need to know type of the Stations, their position and any modifiers you want to apply. (see page 7 for details). The construction will start shortly after IMG agrees with it.

Sorry Orbital Spa and Cruise, I didn't realize you already took over Perth. Jakob, please change from Perth to Glasgow Outpost in Leeds.

Post Thu Mar 31, 2005 4:46 am

To DSE -

Thank you for informing us of the completion of the jump gate. However, Chugoku is Kusari space. It may be in your name for now, but you are a Liberty company. When my forces move in there and Kusari naval bases are up, your station may remain but overall control of the system will be under the flag of Kusari.

Post Thu Mar 31, 2005 6:42 am

@ Kusari - well, thats exactly what have I said. Check my last sentence:

Also, the Chugoku System is fully under your control.

@ Codename or Roc
You missed my search party in the dublin system. Graves station.

@The Creator of liberty
I am worried myself about your expansion plans. I will allow you to construct only one station and have a maximum of 20lf/20hf/20vhf in the dublin system. Of course if certain circumstances arise then that can change. You should also confer with the IMG, and the Bretonian Military. Who have a sizeable stake in its operation.

@ DSE
I believe that you can start work in tau 31 immediatly. Only the IMG are there and i have a non aggression pact. I would like to apply a 30lf wing escort at the construction site. 1 large station. I believe you will find that works out to 275 credits. As for where it is in the system, i believe that doesnt matter, but if it does, put it by the IMG base near all the tradelanes.

As for the other systems, i am awaiting approval from picard before i even think about building there

@Roc of bretonia.

Sure, construction rights have been agreed for you to build in the dublin system.

Roc

Post Thu Mar 31, 2005 7:11 am

Sorry bout that Cerberus, i'll add that search.

To Commander Cerberus:

Thank you for allowing us building rights. You have full building rights in all of Bretonia, so you may expand into Bretonia if you desire. Also, if you require some extra help guarding Dublin, I would be glad to assist you.

Post Thu Mar 31, 2005 7:15 am

@ Spa & Cruise - I proposed lowering our trade to 5G for 5M per turn. 10M is too much for me now.

@ IMG - I want to buy 30 Metal from you, for 90 Credits. Also please specify if you allow Mollys to have their bases built in your systems.

@ Mollys - the construction will hopefully begin next turn. Also, we demand only agreement with IMG, not Outcasts, because I havent seen them being active, and we dont deal with criminals at all.
