It troubles me that SPQNR territory has become a battle ground for other factions.  My suggestion is whenever you stop by to do business don't linger. Buy your fuel, sell your mats, unload your diamonds, and skedaddle. We won't interfere with your conflicts but we don't want to be an ambush point. Sargas has a "no overnight parking" policy on Mars. I think we may have to add a similar policy on Luna,(moon).

We will honor this policy, FOMC thanks SPQNR for their hospitality.

"And a PM to Sargas would be the easiest way to clarify any alleged [EOS] "blockade" against [FOMC]..."

I believe he is aware of the situation in his midst.This one seems to be acting in PF's interests curiously and also appears to be arming PF from what we can speculate.

Know that we FOMC does not seek any action or judgement from SPQNR... We will take appropriate action as needed.

After conferring with wind, I have determined the following things:

You have attacked diamond shipments to the Moon, inflicting great losses to wind (not confirmed but just getting the reason across). Also, you've attacked PF installments before as part it's your piracy operations (I'm unsure if farmer Ben will know, he may have been with pf during the attacks).
 
You lost 27 diamond after you attacked me, and I retaliated. Not really a detrimental loss. I was unaware WindStorm receives your com reports too.

The Empire DEMANDS proof that we have engaged in an economic blockade at LUNA (or anywhere else).


who is windstation and when was that attack?

FOMC member Fishsticks has never been removed from our sanctioned hit list as a known pirate.

WindStorm just took advantage of that fact when he discovered the Megheddon in Luna orbit.

These were within minutes of each other, I am aware of my status with EOS but this seems to be serving PF's sole interests. The FOMC is currently unaware of this "war" caker18 speaks of but if we do decide to oblige PF's thirst for a war I would like to avoid any..... Imperial entanglements.... Should WindStorm decide to keep escalating the situation. I'm unsure how to proceed as any further conflict with any part of EOS is undesirable.
The destruction of Olympus and Olympus III is kept in our permanent records as a reminder of our rocky introduction to the AG universe.

"And a PM to Sargas would be the easiest way to clarify any alleged [EOS] "blockade" against [FOMC]..."

I believe he is aware of the situation in his midst.This one seems to be acting in PF's interests curiously and also appears to be arming PF from what we can speculate.

Know that we FOMC does not seek any action or judgement from SPQNR... We will take appropriate action as needed.

I guess more specifically they attack FOMC before we can buy fuel at Luna, we have other sources but we like the convenience. We can handle Caker18, but his new companion has proved to be a current challenge.

Mainly seems to be an FOMC specific blockade.

What seems to be a better question is why (PF and EOS) are blockading Luna fuel sales, what business do they have blocking SPQNR revenue?

I couldn't find anything but a dozen star systems. How do you acquire death ray components?

Anyone else stuck in the Alien Cluster? HELP!!!

... Stuck in the arc, as I said earlier, lost ships, you seem quite dense as well

Even if you had such modules there are inconsistencies in your story, you mentioned having a station that these modules were being transferred to/from. You also sit under me on the stats board and I have seen no station on these stats since I surpassed you in power.

General Tiberius was last seen in sector -2,1 heading into sector -1,1 possibly headed toward earth to sell his loot from our last engagement.

The FOMC does not infringe on SPQNR worlds, we trade with NoBrain for fuel at Luna when times are slow. We have destroyed several modules placed there by PF, but we find it pointless to station troops on a moon we have no business defending, you placed them there to up your chances in your battles with the FOMC, maybe find a world of your own to defend? That way SPQNR doesn't have to keep salvaging your debris from their orbit.
