Intergalactic Summit

The list will not affect the fact that Gallente don't get embarrassed about that stuff so please post that list and watch your failure

Serpentis did nothing wrong.

Sadly, somehow crime organizations have a tendency to employ really smart people... or their lack of safety regulations does the deal, I imagine. If Serpentis does have new capital tech, the balance of power will shift and not in the favor of comparably-not-so-bad-Navies who protect the Empires and their people.

I would like to point out, as I did in the assembly, that the proposition here isn't particularly 'threatening'. Capsuleers have a history of being fairly peacemeal in their efforts, and this resolution seeks to establish formal communications about the 'threat', and assessing its nature.

This peacemeal approach, lacking the unity Soter is calling for, benefits not only the enemies we appear to be fighting - 'pirates' and other ne'er do wells - but also shrewd empire interests, the sorts of things that create the pirate and null-sec movements we are seeing in the first place in many cases.

Consolidation of effort seeks to lose less. Less hardware, less lives - which any captain can appreciate, pirate or not. And while we can say 'pirates are people too', the situation is somewhat more complex beyond an individual level. Conceptually, it is agreeable that both sides be prudent enough to make the right decisions with regards to personnel. Since Capsuleers are going to go after Serpentis rewards regardless of politics, this is our side doing what we can.

This is conservatism, not idealism of a pirate-less world, nor an insinuation that others (including ourselves) do not already have systems in place hoping to lessen the financial and sociological impact that black market activities illicit, occasionally by shooting at their ships relatively regularly. A black market is part of the ecosystem of any large body, and this effort is not really about threatening anyone, realistically. But like any free ecosystem any anomaly is not only noticed, but adjusted to. We will need some organization to keep things as it is, and everyone in business.

With that, I encourage those with an interest in fighting the Serpentis, even casually, to consider the router as a node to find fleets and keep up with information accrued about the changing status of Serpentis forces. This is less about law and more about order - at least, to me.



Speaking of freedom and laws, the threatening of releasing personal data is interesting and telling. Rather than to say that Gallentes are universally proud of the myriad things they try, I would say it is a reflexive reaction not to become very distressed. While I would be amused, saddened or even disappointed in the involvements of another, or theoretically embarrassed about my own, the reality of free association - first and for some time as law, but now as part of culture (though 5,000 years is technically a stretch, as civics is comparatively recent, and not even fully actualised) - means that its affect on his or her opportunities is considerably lessened if not entirely non-issue'd in some areas - at least when dealing with other fully-integrated Federals. Since that is the reaction we are familiar with, it should come as no surprise that most of us seem somewhat flippant with regards to personal control within this sphere.

Relations overall are looser here because of this, and it is generally by action, not by relationship, that a person is first judged, in opposition to most other cultures' parameters in the cluster, as I understand them. It would be of greater leverage to attack a Federal's concrete failings than exposing acrobatics that are, for most, at worst entertaining (as we will gawk at our own as quickly as anyone else, lacking in-group), but still theoretically sacred. To attack someone for being out of line of the norm is just as ill-informed. It is not just a right, but in many cases a rite of passage.

Not to say of course, that doing this or that won't get you killed or worse if you cross the wrong person. But that's an entirely different story; free association of course, has certain risks that we are not particularly protected against, where association and action are conflagrated fairly easily, even when you live this. Just to say there might be a more efficient sort-by to ruin a man than 'worst', around here, if that wasn't already obvious. There are some subtleties to it that are inducing the laughter in here, and it's not just pure promiscuity.

CVA has been dealing with Sansha Capital class vessels for a good few weeks now, and Supercarrier vessels leading incursions for years. In all that time we have not once needed to issue a resolution or categorise the level of threat. We have simply dealt with it.

As much as I dislike the chest beating and the thinly veiled bias towards focusing on Gallente citizens and property rather then a true Cluster wide effort, I do infact wish you luck.

Any Serpentis or Angel outposts, shipyards, laboratories, Capital Vessels or other found within Providence will be dealt with. They can inquire with our designated Diplomats for Pirate Organisations, Mega Pulse Laser II and Co.

I don't think a pirate organization has any legitimacy making complaints regarding property rights.

I don't like thievery as a general rule, but what were you going to use these extremely advanced designs for anyway? Probably thievery. And where did you get the baseline for the research conducted to create these designs?

Oh, that's right, you stole a Gallentean titan to "increase your own armies".

Pot. Kettle. Black.

It's called the right of the stronger and it's always been like that unfortunately

My money is on "yes they can". They have better PR then you.

I like your jacket

Why thank you.
