Is purchasing a computer or cell phone dealing in human misery?

Yeah... [sad]
Don't forget the near slave labor conditions those cell phones are produced in too. Or the child labor making clothes...
Welcome to modern living.
You might, however, wish to consider the order in which people will be against the wall when the revolution comes.
Quite so! I always feel so bad about the conditions that they have to travel in. I'd much rather have the cargo hold pressurized, heated and have comfy seating for them. And have rest facilities and a food service. Alas, that is not available as of yet. Even in the Empire.If FD go with what Imperial slaves are supposed to be, in 2.2 you'll need passenger modules to transport Imperial slaves and cargo holds to transport slaves.
Use this information as you wish, but I maintain that Imperial "slave" is a misnomer.
Now I really wish they'll expand on ALD's character so that we, as proud Imperial citizens can fight corruption within the system and make sure ISA regulations are respected.
ahh but a real (wo)man would have set them free
(of which the only way you can do that is by abandoning them once docked).
you are still a slaver... just not a very good one![]()
Sweet! Mikalus' tagline is exactly what I'm talking about. Remember, you're only the good-guy in your own eyes and the eyes of those who support you. In the eyes of others, you might very well be the biggest scumbag in the universe. Mikalus claims that he's fighting for freedom, but who's freedom, exactly, is he fighting for? The freedom of his people to live their lives independently? Does that run contrary to the freedom of whatever entity owns the land and/or space in which those people want to live? Does that entity have a freedom to own property that is safe from encroachment from Mikalus' folks and others like them? What about the right to impose legal sovereignty over people who do encroach on that property? If Mikalus conducts pirating raids against an entity who he considers "the bad guy", what do the seemingly innocent people who he is raiding think about that? And are they innocent? Maybe not so much in Mikalus' eyes.
It's not all black and white.
And style, baby. We've got all the style.I've voted for "No, remain a force for freedom...". Slave trading is one of the reasons I oppose the Empire. That and the fact that they're a bunch of snooty inbreds with delusions of grandeur.

I never really saw it as the Empire being technophobic. From what I've read, the Federation had the lead on automated manufacturing. The Empire made up the difference originally by having the Imperial Slave system. The Empire probably does have some automation, but they haven't switched to it completely because A: the slavery is more economical B: They don't have a solution for the unemployment of the former slaves freed by a switch to automation. The second point was really driven home when all those imperial slaves were freed a few months ago (community event) and then there was a followup event to deliver food, water, etc. to them because they were stranded - no effort was made to properly process them and return them to their homes.
I'm not saying your wrong. I just haven't seen information that supports the empire being techphobic. Honestly, I wish Frontier would release a LOT more information on the details of this universe....
