anti slavery group

[manoflinux]

sorry for the double post but this seems to be the place to post this.

I would there to be an anti slavery group that offers combat missions against slavers from independent ports and pirate bases(see below).
It would be simple to implement, as there are now combat missions against traders or pirates or whatever just add a group that offers missions against slavers.
I guess that would mean you would have to mark some ships as slavers, just as you now mark same as pirates or traders now.

I appreciate the buy back missions but in real life buying back of slaves has proved ineffective unless you do something about the slavers.
So I would like both and a dedicated group trying to get rid of slavery that offers the missions.
I think "The John Brown Society" would be an obvious name for the group.

I assume like any other cargo ship if you attack them there is a chance to get them to jettison their cargo? if so when they jettison the slaves the player should have the option to rescue them and take them to a slave friendly port to free them.

Also I guess a player could use a cargo scanner to destroy slaver ships when they are empty.

Also in real life pirates were not usually slavers(the Barbary pirates being the exception). some people think that as much 90% of pirate crews were ex slaves.
So do you think ex slaves would be in the business of buying and selling people?
"people aint cargo mate" to quote a fictional pirate.
Pirates and slavers are very different people and I think you sully the good name of pirates(in regards to slavery) by making them all slavers, there are two slave based populations already, why do pirates need to be slavers as well?

Pirate bases should be a haven for escaped slaves, not yet another place to buy them.

I like this idea.

There should be a handfull of independant systems where the slaves have risen up and taken control.

Players who deliver slaves to them for release could be 'rewarded' at market rates or release them for free for reputation gain.

Brilliant idea, there really should be an anti-slaver faction

Fine idea as long as race is kept out of it.... Sick and tired of hearing about the poor black slaves......The majority of slaves were mixed race or WHITE!

I don't think there is any indication in-game that race is a factor in the slave trade of 3301. The statement, however, that the "majority of slaves were mixed race or WHITE!" is, of course, erroneous. It speaks of slavery in the past tense while in fact slavery is still very much a problem in the 21st century. We tend to think that the abolition of slavery among Western democracies brought an end to the practice.
