Sacra Oculus endorses the view of AEDC. We have a number of operational activities in Alliance space and maintain dialogue with the Alliance concerning systems where rare trade commodities are present and via a minor faction change, cause that rare to be unavailable. In such circumstances we aid the Alliance in friendly Alliance NPC minor faction control in a different system in return for having an unopposed adjustment of the BGS to ensure the rare trade commodity is unblocked.
This dialogue has liberated rare trade commodities and is a continuing process, as we secure new Alliance controlled systems in return for the Alliance to relinquish control where necessary to liberate a rare trade commodity.
The only difference of opinion we have is that influence should solely be adjustable in Open play.
