Eh. I have no problem with the Alliance. I quite like their ethos, TBH. But the Empire was founded on the practices of genocide of an entire sentient species and the principles of totalitarian militarism and a gentrified outer facade covering up a core of corruption and disregard for human life.
The Federation isn't perfect, but it was founded on the pretense of stopping extra terrestrial extinction and genocide by human colonists.
I meant to, but got distracted doing other things. I also don't want to be wanted in my home system.

I mean, the original Duval woman was alright, if a little bit of a communist. Well intentioned at the worst. But the first emperor was a complete egomaniac and exterminated a sentient species from its home planet to claim it for himself, completely corrupting the laudable ideals of his predecessor.

I completely understand the dropping cargo bit, but does anyone know what being Wanted will do to increase bounty collection? All I can see being Wanted doing is getting you shot up by cops. I feel that, if this is in fact his methods, the same results can be achieved without being Wanted.
Absolutely not true.. Not sure what makes you think KWS pays 60k? Thats completely false.
I know exactly how it works, have done it many times, and on average you will make about 400% of the original bounty, but youre entitled to your own opinion. I'll leave it at that, really dont like your approach of teasing people by posting your screen shots for shock and awe, but then you are vague about how it works, until I briefly explained it, and only then you chime in and give a bit more "vague" detail. Also at no point did you mention how long it took. For all we know you have been grinding this for 30hrs just so you can feel cool on the forum.
My advice to you would be to try and help people instead of trying to look cool.

You haven't read Reclamation, right?
I'm sure the Feds aren't much better though... That's why I stay independent and with no allegiances.
Basically this. This merit decay is simply too huge. 20% Okay. 30% Meh. 50%? Stopped when I got my Vette and a couple of rebuys.
Unless you're dead drowned in debts, then slavery is an *option*.

Oh, I've read it. And due all I have read the Feds are which I most despise.
Does dropping off the powerplay loads,bonds ect count toward rank like ensign?
Power Play is not related to your Naval ranking at all. Power Play has its own ranking system that is independent of the other ranking systems in the game. Therefore, merits will have zero effect on your naval ranking.
Redeeming combat bonds has a small impact on your faction naval ranking. Bounties as well.
Missions are the best way to progress through the Naval ranks.

Its really not that bad if you have a Cutter. Less than 2hrs a week to maintain lvl5.
Yeah but fast tracking a cutter full of garrison supplies has to be agony. I fast tracked my Anaconda full once.
Never again.
I am amazed that this fact, stated clearly in the in-game description, is constantly ignored by detractors. I find it laughable that there is this purposeful ignorance, because Imperial Slavery is not forced on anyone. It is voluntary. Again, clearly stated in the in-game description so often ignored by the "abolitionists."
I've said it before and I will say it again. Want to fight Slavery? Look to Robigo.
No kidding.
Have you looked at the commodities market there?
High demand for Imperial slaves.
High supply of regular slaves. Lots of slave-smuggling missions.
I'd wager it's a hub for laundering kidnapped imperial slaves into federal and independent star systems.

If someone does certain work by choice (voluntarily), can they really be called a slave? I was always under the impression that to be a slave, you are someone else's property and their servant (in other words you dont have a choice). If imperial slaves do in fact have a choice, such as sitting on the couch eating chips all day, then they really cant be called slaves can they? I'm confused...
Edit: I suppose modern day slavery can be defined differently. Even though we are no longer whipped into picking cotton fields anymore, we could still be considered to be slaves just the same. Money is collected from us by the government (we serve them). Who then go and do what they please with the money. I guess in modern times its more disguised. We are under the impression the government "serves" the people, but in fact, it enslaves the people and instead serves those who control the government. Which would mean we are still slaves, just "modern day slaves".

Yeah, I never understood that either.
"Slave," to me, implies involuntary servitude.
The imperial system seems more like a form of indentured servitude, similar to how some early colonists paid for their fare to the Americas.

It says so right in the Commodity Market Item Description when purchasing. If they were instead called Indentured Servants, which is much more accurate, it would take a lot of the wind out of Fed and Aisling propaganda though. Unfortunate.
Fortunately our shrewd and savvy Senator Zemina Torval has always looked to increase awareness of proper care and treatment of Imperial Slaves. It's in most of her daily quotes. But again, the propaganda machine has painted her as a Slaver of the worst notoriety.
Shameful twisting of reality by attention seeking "aboltionists" fighting for a cause that doesn't actually exist...
