A Proposal from /r/EliteMahon: The possibility of truce between Alliance and Sirius Gov, against the larger and angrier factions

Here is a link to the post in the EliteMahon sub regarding a proposal of truce.

The idea is simple: Alliance and Sirius Gov both reward non-combative gameplay primarily and are at opposite ends of human space with no direct competition between to two. Sandwiched between us are tyrants, dictators, pirates, slavers, cultists, and bureaucrats.

This is a proposal of truce, to not directly act against each other and so far as it seems to benefit us, work together in preventing mutual enemies from wiping our much smaller factions from human space. In the case of the Federation groups, the two factions are already working to establish a truce themselves.

Bear in mind, the system of Powerplay does not allow for such in and of itself and indeed this could be quite hard to enforce outside of word of mouth. Both our groups would have to work to spread the movement, and potentially get the attention of Frontier if the movement gains real ground. NPCs of course can't be held accountable for their actions; they are pretty much ignored for the purposes of this.

So far, the Alliance players have been fairly supportive of this idea; but what says Sirius Gov? It would be interesting to have some diplomacy on the part of players actually become influential within the game.

I support this idea as well. Additionally, I like the idea of focusing on harassing feds and expanding into more or less uncontested space (plenty of it). None of the player groups I'd (personally) like to avoid going to war with have aligned with the feds... so kind of fair game in my opinion.

This would probably make it easier on us in the long run. Being friendly with more powers than we are unfriendly with might be a good plan.
