FROM THE POSTBAG: PLUTOCRATS AND EXILE

by Hazed

Another questioning missive has been delivered to the Fed2 Star office. "What color," it asks, "are Hazed's..." Yes, well, perhaps we'd better not answer that one.

But here's one we can answer - and it's safe to publish the answer:

"If a Plutocrat exiles you, are you exiled from the whole cartel, or just from their star system?"

Well, the answer is not as simple as picking between the two options. Technically, the exile only affects the star system. However, being unable to enter the hub system of a cartel also means you can't jump to any of the member systems either, so in practice you are exiled from the whole cartel.

Except that you can still teleport directly to one of the member planets, bypassing the hub system and avoiding the ban. So it's not impossible to access other system, it's just that you can only do it if you have a teleporter.
